hey assbopper,you obviously dont know what the word athlete means nor do some other answerers.dont you think a martial artist or a fighter can be an athlete?bruce lee was a very good athlete and he wasn't just an actor as some very misinformed person said.my top 3 athletes?i dont have a top 3 because any athlete who gets out there and has a go has my support.at least there out there having a go not sitting on thier face in front of a computer running athletes down because they havn't got what it takes to be one.
i think a browse through the dictionary and look up the word athlete might also be a good idea for ppl who think other ppls opinion isn't based on fact.

Ok first off Bruce lee was NEVER an athelete, what sports competitions have you ever heard of him being in and or winning?
to my knowledge the only competitions he entered were Cha Cha Cha and dancing competitions, so you need to get your information straight before you start slingin around unfounded (and uninformed) information that has absolutely NO basis.
he was just a excellent Martial Artist and actor, that took his personal physical fitness very seriously.
Terrell Owens I think has to be the most overrated athelete in my book though, he's only a good pro athelete when he wants to be, instead he fills his time poppin off at the mouth causing drama for whatever team that has the dishonor of picking him up. I just don't like his attitude.
Dennis Rodman, and Mike Tyson, more drama boys that only like to cause themselves and everyone else problems.
they just need to participate in their respective sport and leave the dramatics at home.

#1: Anna Kournikova. How could you possibly miss her?
#2: Anna Kournikova. She is/was so overhyped she deserves #1 and #2 on this list.
#3: Bo Jackson (sorry he got hurt, but honestly Deion Sanders was SO much the better 2 sport athlete).
#4: Michelle Wie. So much hype and media circus, yet to win on any pro tour.

You could say so, but you never saw the real Bruce Lee to see what he could do. I remember a story of another martial artist who challenged Lee to prove "What he could do". The martial artist only mildly irritated Lee, but he decided to show him (and everyone else who was at the party) that he was not simply an actor. He directed the man to put on a thickly padded chest protector and stand about 5 feet away from a swimming pool. "I am going to hit you from 1 inch away, so prepare yourself" Lee told the man. The man smiled, thinking it silly to worry as he was well padded and being struck from only 1 inch away. Bruce Lee focused, then struck the man with incredible power, propelling him into the pool where he had to be pulled out, gasping.
The padded vest was removed from the disbeliever and his shirt pulled up to show a huge red mark on his chest, that later became a hell of a bruise.
Overrated? I don't think so.
My choice is Bo Jackson. What does Bo know now? lol
