1) Mike Tyson
Great puncher, yes. Great boxer, no. Tyson wouldn’t have stood a chance against the best boxers in their prime
2) Babe Ruth
Let’s be honest here. The Babe played in a time when baseball was in its infancy and many of the best athletes weren’t allowed in the league. Today, Ruth would be stuck working as a DH in the minors.
3) Joe Namath
173 TD passes, 220 INTs, completion percentage of 50.1%. Hardly the career stat line of a football legend.
) Emmitt Smith
Good runner, great offensive line. Most running backs would be happy to line up behind four different pro bowl linemen in a career but in the 1995 Super Bowl Emmitt had four pro bowlers in front of him at once. And that doesn’t count the pro bowl full back blowing up the holes, the pro bowl tight end drawing the attention of the linebackers, or the pro bowl quarterback and wide receiver keeping the secondary honest. Half the backs in the league would have put up hall of fame numbers in a setup like that.
5) Lynn Swan
Averaged less than 40 catches a year, not in the top 50 in any major category and yet he is in the Hall of Fame.
6) Antoine Walker
Walker’s entire career is based on the ’even a blind squirrel find an acorn once in a while’ premise. The dude has a lifetime, standing still with no one in his face, foul shot percentage of less than 65% but still felt compelled to heave up over 580 3-pointer per season during a three year stretch before Boston showed him the door.
7) Deion Sanders
Great athlete but not as good as the hype. Mediocre baseball player and a notoriously poor tackler on the football field, a less than desirable trait in a defensive player.
8) Scottie Pippen
The answer to your question is that Michael Jordan was so great that he earned two spots on the NBA’a 50 greatest players list, one for himself and one for Scottie.
9) Peyton Manning
Still waiting for the big one ... or at least something other than a monumental collapse to end the season.
10) Sammy Sosa
A short story of Sammy Sosa ... Sammy comes into the league with little fanfare. A few years later, Sammy starts to swell up and hit baseballs into orbit at an incredible rate completely masking the fact that he is something of a liability in the field. Then the league institutes a new steroid testing policy and Sammy dissappears never to be heard from again.
