Who is the best player in sports?

Answer 1

tiger woods

Answer 2

Sir Donald Bradman

In The Best of the Best, statistician Charles Davis argues that Bradman's performance is the most dominant of any player of any major sport. He calculates the number of standard deviations above the mean that several prominent individual sporting statistics lie. The top performers in various sports are:

Athlete Sport Statistic Standard deviations
Bradman Cricket Batting average 4.4

Pelé Soccer Goals per game 3.7

Ty Cobb Baseball Batting average 3.6

Jack Nicklaus Golf Major titles 3.5

Michael Jordan Basketball Points per game 3.4

Björn Borg Tennis Grand slam titles 3.2

In order to post a similarly dominant career statistic as Bradman, a baseball batter would need a career batting average of 0.392, while a basketballer would need to score 43 points per game.

Answer 3

Michael Schumacher. Nobody has ever dominated a sport like he did.

Michael Schumacher’s first time behind the wheel was nothing short of traumatic. Only 4 years old at the time, he promptly piloted his kart directly into a lamppost. Luckily, he didn’t let that little accident stand in his way and ended up becoming the most dominant driver of all time. After blowing away his competition at every level, including in Formula Three and the World Endurance Championships, “Schuey” made his F1 debut in 1991 with the Jordan-Ford team.

Although little was expected of the German youngster, Schumacher amazed observers by qualifying seventh during the first race of his career. The extraordinary performance prompted Benetton to snatch him up immediately and Schumacher didn’t disappoint.

Despite his relative inexperience, he came out firing on all cylinders during his first full year with the team, going on to finish third in the Driver’s Championship. And he didn’t stop there: “Schuey” drove away with the Driver’s Championship in 1994 and 1995 before transferring to Ferrari.

The rest, as they say, is history. Since joining Ferrari, Schumacher has won five additional Driver’s Championships and has averaged 96 points per year. Although choosing his finest season is like choosing Picasso’s “best” painting, one has to look at 2004. Driving as if possessed, Schumacher finished the year with 13 wins, 15 podium finishes, eight pole positions, 10 fastest laps, and a grand total of 148 points.

As of the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix, “Schuey” holds Grand Prix records for most career race wins (86), most wins in a season (13), most career pole positions (66), most fastest laps (71), most podium finishes (146), and most championship titles (7). As scary as they may be to his fellow competitors, those totals should only rise in the years to come
