Gretzky is untouchable as clearly the best hockey player ever, though Lemieux could have challenged that had he stayed healthy.



Gretzky took the perrennial cellar dweller Kings to the Finals. That speaks volumes about his greatness.

i think what juice is trying to say the great one in his nhl career move teams and where ever he goes that team becomes different by a large margin.

as to jordan, even without moving teams i dont think anyone can do his feat of 6 championships in a decade or in a 10 years span. both to me are extreme competitors

for me both are every admirable figures in the sports world.

What I'm saying is that Wayne Gretzky is in a different galaxy amongst hockey players than anyone that has ever played the game.

Gretzky had more assists in his career alone than anyone else in the history of the game had points (goals + assists).

Think about that.

Michael at his prime was the most loved person in America and perhaps in the world.


This is a considerable overstatement.He MAY have been the most respected basketball player of his time. He may have been the most loved person in Israel, I don't know, I don't live there. He was just a basketball player, and a damn good one.

that's totally different because in America other than anywhere else you can wear 91 (Rodman). In Footbal (Soccer) and Basketball in Europe, it's not posibble, or at least not happening...

By the way there are 101 numbers. don't forget you have 00 too. not only 0.


Nobody in Europe will wear #91 because of Dennis Rodman???? Please tell me this is a joke. If Americans retired #'s because of guys like Rodman, there wouldnt be any #'s left.

Rodman worship=low, low standards.

I'm surprised no Celtics fans have jumped all over this comment. Bill Russell, anyone?

Bill Russell was unsuccessful at not winning titles for 8 straight years.

His number shouldn't be retired by anyone except the Bulls. It'd be best if he just faded into the background and disappeared like most other hall of famers do and let the current players have their time in the spotlight. Apparently he's either not capable or not willing to do that and the press willingly goes along with it.

you misunderstood me. Nobody can wear a 91# jersey in Europe because it is not allowed. i mentioned Rodman as as somebody who wore the number. you are right, nobody really knows him from outside the NBA fans circle.

I'll tell you why i believe that's true. Tiger Woods was considered the most loved person in America a few years ago.
