I'll have to go with baseball because the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball:
1. Babe Ruth - As if there was any doubt. Ruth was by far the greatest hitter ever, especially in relation to his peers. His adjusted OPS+ of 207 is far and away the best of all-time, 17 points ahead of #2 Ted Williams. We all know he once hit more HR than any other team in the league hit total. But if that wasn't enough proofof The Bambino being the greatest, we must also remeber that he was a very good pitcher. He once led the league in ERA. He never had a losing season Ok, he was really wild on the mound, but that's just nit-picking. Add it all up: Best hitter of all-time + above average pitcher = Greatest MLB player of all-time. Babe Ruth.

certainly, expert athletes are paid little whilst in comparison with the great gross sales that the franchises and leagues take in, besides the very undeniable fact that it ought to look to us familiar those that they make too plenty for in user-friendly terms enjoying a pastime. once you verify out the athletes as commodities (which they are truthfully interior the full scheme of issues), all of it turns into fairly disgusting. In expert activities, we've a gladiator/proprietor relationship it particularly is greater advantageous to a distinctive point. The leagues and the franchise vendors would not have this money if it weren't for the gladiators who furnish the thrill and entertainment. The athlete's salaries are tiny fractions of the quantity that the leagues and vendors assemble from the athlete's efforts. whilst your debate opponent brings up the argument approximately grown adult adult males being paid too plenty to play a pastime, do slightly analyze on the gross sales that activities usher in for the host cities, stadiums/arenas, the league and the franchise and evaluate this gross sales to the gamers' salaries. you would be horrified.

it really depends on generations.
Pele was the best player of all time in his generation just Micheal Jordan was for his.
Right now, I'd say the best player of all time would be Zidane.
