Is any athlete as clearly and obviously the one and only GOAT in their respective sport as much as Wayne is in hockey?
Soccer - Messi Ronaldo Maradona
Tennis - Federer, Nadal, Djokovic
Basketball - MJ, Lebron, KAJ
Baseball- all a bunch of roiders
Football- Brady, Montana etc.
In hockey no one comes even CLOSE to Wayne.

Wait til Messi smashing all records. He's only 31.
>He's only 31
Players usually get worse and worse after the 30 years
Ronnie in snooker
*ahem*
the power
Records mean nothing. He is not even one tenth of the talent that Maradonna was.
yes
Canadiens won another cup 2 years after trading him and literally didnt miss a beat without him. He might be the goat but anyone who seeks out contrarian opinions can make a case
>people actually believe this shit
Shit. Oilers*
Ahem
>The statistics show that "no other athlete dominates an international sport to the extent that Bradman does cricket". In order to post a similarly dominant career statistic as Bradman, a baseball batter would need a career batting average of .392, while a basketball player would need to score an average of 43.0 points per game
Schumacher in Formula 1
Loeb in Rally
Süleymanoğlu in Olympic weightlifting
O'Sullivan in snooker
Kayden Kross in sport
>O'Sullivan in snooker
Zoomers, everyone.
hes probably more like a fangio than schumacher
If he played today, he would get decimated. Put Ovechkin in his era and he scores over 1k goals. Grotskis was great, but largely a product of the goalden era of NHL.
>Schumacher
>not Sena
Except Ovi is a product of Gretzky/Lemieux/Brett Era hockey. Without those 3 guys, hockey would be much different.
Jerry Rice in gridiron
if you split his receiving totals in three that's three HOF careers
>statpadding
"no"
~le sticky fingers man
No one is even close to Jordan and hockey is not a real sport
Usain Bolt
Michael Phelps
Doesn't change the fact that if you put a 6'3 235 pound russian that can skate and shoot like he can in 1980, he would score 150 goals.
MJ is really ahead everyone
Incredible
Mario Lemieux was better than Ovi and didnt score 150 goals
ahem!
I mean just look at this Lemieux highlight vid. He's the closest in terms of athletic ability and size to Ovechkin and it's evident he doesn't have the speed or ability to power through players that Ovy does. Look at the fuckin goalies dude, they take up 50% less net than modern tenders do.
youtube.com
You would be hard pressed to find guys other than Lemieux over 210 pounds in 1985. Look at this shit: hockeydb.com
Nearly everyone on that roster is 170-190 pounds. Considered little for today's nhl. Marchand is 182 pounds ffs.
ovechcuck is not better than gretzky sorry to burst your bubble
>le sit in the faceoff circle and wait for a one timer man
Mario was super because he played against 160 pound midgets. See: hockeydb.com
an horse is not a athlete
mario was super because he did more than just score goals
Yeah... Lemieux came back from retirement in 2000/01 with a busted back in his mid 30s and put up the highest PPG seen since
The NHL peaked in weight/size in the late 90s and early 00s
Falcao - futsal
Nadal on clay is clearly the GOAT by some margin. But that's just one surface.
kys zoomerfaggot
>cricket
>sport
no
>that can skate and shoot like he can in 1980
With the same nutritian/training knowledge, skates, sticks, ice etc etc they had in 1980. Fuck no.
Cristiano Ronaldo will go down as the clear GOAT when as is said and done
Bradman was probably a legit athlete playing pajeet paddle.
No, Gretzky was a playmaker. Those kind of skills requiring vision and "hockey IQ" would be just as valuable in todays league. Actually, maybe more so since the league is a bit less violent now.
Bobby Orr
t. Dad
I know it's been said, but cricket is probably the second biggest sport in the world after soccer and no one has dominated such a huge sport like Bradman did.
Absolutely not.
sena won’t even rank top 5 in ten years
Jerry Rice, but retards let the media convince them that QB is the only position that matters
wow....thats something. He's nearly twice as good as the next best person
Bradman is to cricket as Australia is to whacking off to interracial cuckold porn
Classic leaf not knowing hockey. Doesnt differences between eras. Prolly under 22 years old, can't recall prior to the 04-05 lockout.
I don't think it's even close. My dad used to play fantasy NHL when gretzky played and he said the standard leagues listed waynes goals AND waynes assists AS IF THEY WERE SEPARATE PEOPLE. HE LITERALLY BROKE FANTASY SPORTS
Messi isn’t a usual player
she's a mother have respect
nope.
greatzky was the most dominant.
nobody can wear #99 ever again.
Playing with the best player in the league at the time (Jagr).
That said, healthy Lemieux was the most dominant offensive player in NHL history. Orr was the most complete.
He certainly didn't play defense.
Usain Bolt
I agree on non-violent but if you are gretzky's size In today's league you have to have dynamic speed with that skill. Gretzky doesn't have speed so he would be maybe a 60 points player today, nothing more. Certainly not the dominant force he was back then
How much would his speed and physique change if he was put under a modern conditioning and diet program
>He certainly didn't play defense.
hmmm.... but do you know who did?
So is Fedorov the best two-way forward in NHL history?
>43.0 points per game
Jordan would probably average that if he played in today's pussy league.
F1: Senna/Fangio
Yes, the kraut Schumacher has the titles, but Senna was probably more talented (died at just 34 years of age) and Fangio raced on tougher, harder conditions.
Still waiting for you to post the hockey GOAT op
Rice is the definition of a guy overrated by the media.
>muh fat cokehead farmer
>second largest sport
Only because there are 2 billion Poojeets and that’s the only “sport” they play
Imagine 4.9 40yd dash Jerry Rice in today’s NFL. It would be like trying to score with only ten players on the field
i'm here, user
At least nobody in here has tried to claim that Howe is anywhere near the best player ever, that overrated old man.
>le 8 different medal events man
Hard to not win a lot when you're able to compete in so many different versions of the same sport
Jordan is miles ahead of everyone else in apehoop. Zoomer opinions don't count.
If you had a player sitting in the faceoff circle waiting for passes in 1980 he'd get fucking bodied before the puck came near him
but lad, hockey is the only sport your country is anywhere near good at
when gretzky was considered the best forward, this guy won the award for best defense
he was listed at 5'10 200lbs
Only a fucking leaf could make a post this retarded
Nobody gives a shit about which baboon is the best baboon, they're all baboons.
They're not bad at drive car racing, and sauna they're easily the goat nation desu
>implying
Bradman in cricket is more GOAT. Gretzky is probably 2nd most GOAT after Bradman.
Matti Nykänen
Marit Björgen
Magdalena Forsberg
Ole Einar Björndalen
Sandra Perkovic
Valerie Vili
Usain Bolt
Hicham El-Gierrouj
Jan Zelezny
Anita Wlodarczyk
ronaldo, federer, jordan, and brady are miles ahead of anyone else in their respective sports
Road cycling undisputable GOAT right here.
motorbike racing, marc marquez. hes only 25 and already has won motogp championship 5 times and he doesnt even have the best bike on the grid.
Based
>Football- Montana
Are you fucking serious right now?
What a stupid post
>Hicham El-Gierrouj
This thread is about GOATs not goat fuckers
oh really?
>cricket
This
Football- obviously Messi
Tennis- obviously Federer
Basketball- obviously MJ
no one cares about baseball and football
so no, its not only hockey
Randy Moss is without a fucking doubt better to anyone with a brain
Imagine Rice's career without stickum
I mean, gretzky also skated using practically shoes with blades on them. a modern skate with a plastic boot would no doubt increase his speed
based bradman
Patrick Roy
Get the fuck off of Yea Forums don cherry
Terrell Owens is the goat WR
federer in tennis is not really disputable at all anymore after 2017
>*blocks your path*
Remember: two calendar slams
Even Laver himself calls Federer the GOAT
Indians don't respect him. Tendulkar will always be the cricket GOAT to them.
This. Maradona carried a weak Argentina team to victory. Messi couldn't.
And Federer said he was playing his best ever tennis when he was 34 years old. Athletes will say whatever the acceptable narrative is so as to not detract anything from anyone and cause controversy.
Lemieux?
It also notes mentioning that he basically batted with a fence pailing in comparison to today’s bats.
Tendulkar was incredible, unfortunately whenever I saw him live he failed. It’s hard to compare between so many generations but Tendulkars stat padding is worth a mention.
Not only that, but he led Napoli to glory in the Serie A almost single-handedly.
There is not a hope in Hell that Messi could do that.
That's not Lemieux.
Also Messi is the best footballer to ever play the game, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Fucking based and Mosspilled
