Now that we have seen the ESPN Top 10, let's see the Sewall Top 10
I like that you have Olympians on this list. They are well deserved as they were probably the best ever in their sport.
I’m actually really looking forward to ripping some of this Topps Chrome Olympic & Paralympic!
Not many hockey fans among the voters, with only 3 players in the top 100 and Ovechkin at #54. He's only scored 853 goals and 1,550 points. I guess he needed 1,000 goals to make the top 50.
ask any hockey player what he thinks about being compared to golfers and tennis players and tell him "you guys didn't produce hardly any top 100"... lol. There's other stuff going into this too, but I'll let everyone who knows continue knowing
a great list! U R so good to recognize the SIFK effect on golf, swimming, gymnastics. The condition is a challenge, which makes pursuit fun
Not a bad top 10 list, though how you can rank Federer ahead of Nadal and Djokovic is beyond me.
Good point. I think Djokovic is rapidly approaching Laver/Federer as greatest tennis player in history, whilst Serena Williams isn't even close to displacing Margaret Court as greatest female tennis player.
I've never understood how any SI for kids cards could grade a 10...how do you detach them in such a way that they will grade gem?
yep just like Otto Graham. Went to all ten Championship games in a row with the 10 year run with the Cleveland Browns. Unrivaled Goat OB of Football. Yep Tom is the best modern one.
Graham also won a basketball championship.
You should do the whole Top 100! Maybe also show their other debatable rookies, like 1996 SIFK and 1997 Grand Slam Ventures for Woods and 2003 Stadion World Stars for Phelps.
Maybe note Phelps' 2003 and 2004 Stadion World Stars cards, which are more traditional cards than the SIFK, although they were not issued in the U.S.
Dang No Jordan Burroughs for USA wrestling that’s crazy
Quick question.... is there a platform/Facebook group/app where you can trade cards with other collectors? It's so frustrating trying to put a set together (buying singles etc.) I always have to buy one of so many while having so many of one! Seems like there would be other collectors out there that know where I'm coming from. I just get tired of buying and buying just to finish a set. I know that is what Topps and Panini wants, but I think it's about time to remember that they are called TRADING cards for a good reason.
Try The Bench trading. Not too good for vintage but very good for modern.
I got TB12 at number one!!
Simone Biles needs to get the boot. When you sit out on a National Stage because you're not "mentally prepared" that hardly makes you a GOAT.
4:24 *2014 SI For Kids. I had to look this up because I thought, there’s no way she is that old and competing in the Olympics again this year unless she’s Romanian 😆
Ha.
LOVE it!!! I don't agree with the top 5. How can Brady be not #1?
Brady (and every other NFL player) haven't tested themselves on the World stage, outside of America - at least basket-ballers do it every four years. Everyone in the top 10, bar Brady, played the game at international level.
Simone Biles literally quit on her teammates
You're obviously a glass half empty guy.
... and we haven't seen yet if she'll have another meltdown this summer to leave her teammates high-and-dry yet again. The media did love her, how stunning and brave she was for quitting, such a joke.
people who waste their money on lebron james, the most unlikeable athlete ever, boggles my mind. but morals and principals rarely enter the minds of ppl obsessed with material possessions
Phelps also has a pack pulled auto in 2004 Leaf.
And 2003 Stadion World Stars.
Wow, Pujols and Crosby being top in their sport is crazy alteady 🤣🤣🤣
Was shocked at the limited amount of hockey players on the list and surprised by the amount of WNBA players, i think the lack of hockey best on best competition weather it be olympics etc really hurt them. i do think that hockey really got under appreciated on this list in the mens but also the women’s game there is a few female hockey players who have just been world beater in their sport in the 2000's and to have none of them make the list sucks. I think not having a defined top league hurt them but thought the olympic accolades would have been enough for at least 1 to make the list. hopefully the PWHL continues to build on a great first season this year for years to come and helps build the female game of hockey. Hockey has really struggled getting viewership from the people vs the other big 3 leagues but it is a great game and we are truly in a golden age of talent in the game of hockey, hopefully the game is able to market itself better and grow the game over the next 10-20 years.
Thanks Chris!
Great video
I would change a few things for sure
The list is ridiculous with Tom Brady at number 5. What he did in the NFL was unthinkable while he was doing it. He was a one-off that comes once ever 50-100 years in a team game where the QB also has direct influence on every other player on the team….which puts him above athletes that compete individually. The only other candidate that I believe can be argued for the #1 spot is Messi. Here again is the rare 1-off who frequently done things on the field of play that makes everyone’s jaw drop off. He, like Bobby Orr, made very good players look bad by his unheard of talent.
Surprisingly, I’d put Olympian Simone higher that her #8. You can know nothing about gymnastics and, if you seen her at the top of her game, knew you were watching something special.KC quarter back needs more time doing his thing to get better results.
yeah, but swimming..
But they only play football in two countries. I'm surprised they did not have a cricketer in the top 10.
@@markmccleary7276 Very good point! I know nothing about cricket except when a player is exceptional, he raises the sport into an art form. Those are the very special ones like Tom Brady, Bobby Orr ect ect…were
Looking forward to your list
No knock on Phelps, but #1 might not last very long. Given the rate at which individual Olympic records are falling every 4 years, his number of gold medals could, in theory, be surpassed over the course of 3 olympic games under the right circumstances. He also no longer holds any individual world records. That should be a pretty significant factor in determining a GOAT athlete, in my opinion. Passing all of Brady or Lebron's records, on the other hand, will take an entire career and is much more unlikely.
Also, I'm a Federer guy, but interesting that they have him ranked higher than Nadal and Djoker, albeit only slighty, despite the latter two having won more majors than - and having better head to head records against - Roger.
That was interesting! Thx.
Brady’s right arm was one of the greatest athletes 😂 If he had .0001% run skills of a Michael Vick…..
it's actually 10pm daylight time. Not standard time. Sorry. I'm a loser.
Joey Chestnut should b #1.
Cristiano Ronaldo not even touching the top 10 is crazy
before watching, here are my guesses:
-Tiger Woods (#1)
-Tom Brady (#2)
-LeBron James (top 10)
-Messi (top 10)
-Ronaldo (top 10)
-Floyd Mayweather Jr (top 10)
those are the only "locks" that i can think of without googling
edit: simone biles in the top 10???? i also do not understand how Tiger isn't far and away #1 ....
The list should just have 100 Dallas Cowboys players. 😂
Where is Michael Jordan?
A very American-heavy top 10.
I wouldn't have Biles, Williams, or Bryant in, but I agree with the rest of the top 10 (and Phelps at 1) .
I don't think many will argue with Tom Brady's inclusion, but it's worth highlighting that grid-iron is chiefly played in the USA, and thus Brady never challenged himself against the rest of the World.
I'd have Shane Warne (cricket), Eliud Kipchoge (Marathon runner), and Ronnie O'Sullivan (snooker) to replace Biles, Williams, and Bryant in the top 10.
In any case, thanks for another great upload. 👍
I just bought Ronnie O'Sullivan's rookie based on your post!
@@markmccleary7276: Wow! Was just my opinion,and without value of cards in mind; but I'm glad you've taken the leap of faith. I hope the card performs well for you.
Snooker is becoming big in China, and Ronnie earns most of his money there and due to Arab interests. When he turns up, he's unstoppable. He also has days where he just can't be bothered (there's been times where he's asked the adjudicator how much is on offer for the perfect break, and if he deems it not enough, he'll purposely not pot the black). Quite the character! 😀
@@Johndeplume. Interesting character. I'm all about learning more about international sports, so this is right up my alley. Thanks again!
@@markmccleary7276: My pleasure! Happy collecting.
Take care, mate. 👍
Brady should be ranked better than LeBron.
I think the 7 rings compared to 4 pushes Brady ahead of LeBron.
it’s not allowed to put a white person ahead of a black person in the woke era. wake up!!!
No chance. Basketball is a global sport. American football in the other hand only being played in the US.
Tiger is too low. People forget how dominant he was at his peak. If there were like 3 tournaments that went by where he didn't win, the hot-take sports radio would lead with "Tiger Slump"... People need to go back and look at how dominant he was. Tiger had a streak of 33 wins in 100 starts... no one will ever touch it. There needs to be a documentary about Tiger.
Tyson Fury didn't even crack the Top 100? Neither did Amanda Nunes? ESPN must be smoking that space parmesan with ol' Hunty
I'm a big fan of Fury's, and I'd agree that he deserves to be in the top 100; however, his last couple of fights have been pretty poor.
This list needs context. Is it the best all around athletes? Is it the top athletes in their specific sports? Is it their athleticism all around, or in their specific sport? Is it just how the athlete performed, regardless of their athleticism? For example, Tom Brady is probably the most dominant/accomplished overall in his sport, and probably any sport, but he is not specifically very athletic (can`t run very fast, can`t jump very far or high, isn`t very strong, etc...). Just wondering what their criteria was to be on this list?
@RichardRennes more about accomplishments than anything. Hard to compare team sport athletes vs individuals though
Rice was farther ahead of his peers than Brady was. I think the criteria is based on level of dominance combined with length of time at the top.
Another big dynamic is whether the list is for Americans or for a worldwide audience. People mad that Tom Brady is not #1 should ask themselves how many countries play "gridiron football." Then again, non-Americans will tell you there are too many baseball and football players on the list who they have not heard of.
Crazy
Hard to argue against Phelps for sure!!
Where"s Katy Ledecki if your going to have Phelps as number 1?
Ahead of Biles
@@hellocollegejason198 21 time world champion and 7 time gold medalist
Ledecki is #15 on espn's list.
Jon jones should be top 10, he would literally kill the other 10 with his bare hands
Gretzky??
Its only athletes from 2000-present.
Kobe? Steph?
Real ranking
1. Tom Brady
2. Messi
3. Lebron
4. Tiger
5. Ronaldo
It's greatest athletes, not most accomplished. Brady shouldn't have cracked the top 100 because he was never all that athletic. Not a fast runner, not particularly strong, quick or agile. Had a good, not great arm.
He would be number 1 if the question is "what athlete had the best career in the 21st century so far?"
@@snerdterguson Cambridge definition of athlete: a person who is very good at sports or physical exercise, especially one who competes in organized events...
Tom qualifies, but nice attempt to divert.
Swimmer and a tennis player yeah ok.
The list may be behind a paywall, but it would have been nice to link it for those who want to dive deeper.
Just google espn 100 best athletes and you can read it. Not behind a paywall
Phelps.......Hats Off he is the best.
swimming is not a sport its a survival tactic....
I would put Ronnie Coleman in the top 100 somewhere but I guess ESPN doesn't consider bodybuilding to be a sport anymore.
Light weight, baby
LeBron over Brady?????
Phelps was an automatic #1.
Quick name the goat swimmer before phelps
@@UsmntSoccerCardsSpitz?
@@tommayrant2279 I asked you to quickly name who the goat swimmer was pre-phelps. I'd imagine you don't know, neither do I...
My point was, how impressive is it to be the best all time at something when people don't know who the second best was.
@@UsmntSoccerCardsI didn't see your question until the time I answered it. Phelps has way more gold medals than Carl Lewis and he's an Olympic legend.
@@UsmntSoccerCards, I was very disappointed when ESPN only included American athletes in their 20th century greatest athletes list. I saw Pele play live in person for the Cosmos when I was a kid and thought he should've been #1 on their list for the 20th century.
Joey Chestnut was done dirty by ESPN. John Brzenk is an arm wrestling legend who spans two centuries.
Tom Brady is nowhere near one of the greatest Athletes. He was the greatest football player, but not as an athlete. This list is funny.
Your comment has no logic but it is noted.
Woods became Pro in 97.
mcdavid at 98 is crazy stupid especially some of the girl wnba players ranked ahead of him dei runs amok
Not sure Lebron should have even cracked the top 20 honestly, Messi/Brady should be #2/#3
I don't really agree with the list, probably because of how I'd prioritize some of these sports and things like Golf and Tennis, which is hard to compare to a game where people have to endure contact and then perform. I'm more impressed by that than anything a swimmer has done, even if it's total domination ala Phelps.
Kobe over lebron all day
Ma long should be on the list....
Not many of us are going to get that one!😂 but I do.
@@Al-ImprovEd2022 where should he rank? He had some failures early in his career before his peak. It's really apples and oranges to compare an individual athlete to a team athlete like LeBron.
@@321Doggies good point. He’s dominated for so long. Much more dominant than Waldner. He’s #1 I think. Let’s see if anyone can guess the sport.
Messi should be #1
Brady's legacy compared to his peers is greater than Messi's compared to his.
@@UsmntSoccerCardsby that metric it should be either Tiger or Phelps. Another man’s accomplishments doesn’t diminish those of his competitors though so I wouldn’t consider dominance over their respective peers as a big factor.
@@EZIO__-fs3lo Not Tiger as Nicklaus has him beat.
@@UsmntSoccerCards Maybe but Brady didn’t have a peer like Cristiano Ronaldo.
@@soluscristus1 Fair, but I meant in the totality of the sport not just their era. Tom is head and shoulders above anyone. Messi is still comparable to Pele/CR7.
Absolutely terrible list. Can't take it seriously when they have Michael Phelps above Lebron 😂
how is Steph curry not mentioned smh
Because he wasn't the MVP of most of those finals wins. Also, he just shoots and does nothing else at an elite level.
Neither woman should have made this list
ESPN needs to stop it. How is Messi not #1. The most dominant player in the most popular sport for 20 years.
Kobrick Bryant should not be on that list. He’s overrated an all time nba brick thrower.
Leave it to ESPN to try and rank men and women's athletes together. I'm not sure how you can even do that when Serena and Simone wouldn't be in the top 1 million if everything were truly even.
How can arguably one of the greatest players of all time in trout not even be in the top 10?
Because he gets hurt too often and he's missed a lot of games. He's only had 7 seasons where he's played in at least 130 games.
Shohei Ohtani has entered the chat. He is a better all around player than Trout could ever hope to be, less injury prone, and more fun to watch. All that guy does is set records and have fun.
@@korielnuesse7658 ohtani will certainly climb the chart in the next few years
Messi should be number 1... this is so american lol
Absolutely. Not even close. They also have Ronaldo somewhere in the 20's which is ridiculous.
Absolutely agree
if we were doing our jobs, there'd be no soccer on the list! lol
This guy gets it. CR7 not in top 10 is similarly absurd.
@@jl4646 -I’ll go one fathers, I’m an American who lives in Massachusetts who may concede the #1 spot to Messi over Tom Brady. What the great Montreal defenseman Serge Savard said to Bobby Hull about Bobby Orr applies as well to Messi “he got to go to another (higher) league. When Simone was on she was right up their with that Romanian girl from 1978 kimono h
Noone is gonna mention the elephant in the room? How do you have kobe at 10 and then lebron but not have MJ? Second where is Ali gretzky Nicholas. I mean if all we are doing is records then Joey chestnut?
It’s top athletes of this century. 2000-2024
The fact that Paul McBeth is not on the 100 list for professional disc golf is a crime. He maybe be the best of all time in his sport.
First!
First
We have a winner!
First? 🥇 Lol
