Sorry but for all he's accomplished it came before I was born. So for my lifetime:

-Mike Jordan -Tiger Woods

I would have to think Yao Ming would have to be big just because all of the Chinese fans. And when you start putting in names from years back you lose a lot of possible people just because the worlds population has grown by almost 2 billion (increase of over 40%) in the last 20 years. The worlds population has almost doubled since Ali's & Pele's days.

Alltime: Jordan

Right Now: Tiger

Jordan changed sports and advertising. He took being a spokesman to an entirely different level. He is the reason Tiger makes the kind of money he does off the course.

Being in LA I can see why you might think Kobe, but he is not even close. LeBron is a bigger star.

Being in the US I can see why you might think LeBron, but he is not even close!

And it goes on...

Ali

No one in these post is probably old enough to remember, not only was he arguably the greatest fighter ever, he took a political stance in the most turbulent period of social change not only in the US but across the world.

Craig 

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

must agree Ali is #1
Babe is #2
Tiger#3

Greatest sports star ever? That's tough to say considering each individual sport varies from one to the next. I don't think a comparison could be made between Wayne Gretzky and Tiger Woods. Instead I think we should all ask ourselves, who is the greatest in their perspective sports? My picks are as follows:

Baseball: Ted Williams
Football: Jim Brown
Basketball: Michael Jordan
Hockey: Wayne Gretzky
Golf: Tiger Woods

I simply said LeBron was a bigger star than Kobe. He is not in a class with Tiger, Jordan or even Babe Ruth or Ali.

If you have to pick only one it has to Ali.
People on every continent know who he is. Who else can you say that about?

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
