    Just got done watching the US Women's World Cup beat Brazil, despite terrible calls against them, and she was the MVP.

    Plus she's a hottie.

    NFL: Haywood Jeffries, Deion Sanders (I think in mid the '90s the best athlete on every high school team, even in basketball and baseball, wore 21).

    NCAA Football: College-aged Heath Shuler and Marshall Faulk

    NBA: Allen Iverson, still thought he was the best and most athletic dribbler of his era.
    Kevin McHale, Olajuwon probably has better post moves but McHale had freakish arms and a slim Billy Paultz physique that just made him more fun to watch.
    Young Charles Barkley, if he stayed in shape, went to the Rockets earlier and actually cared about leadership off the court as much as on it, Jordan would have 3 rings. Actually, never mind the Rockets, if he went to the Knicks, Pistons, Spurs, Warriors or even Magic in '92-'93 and stayed in shape he would have won or competed with any of them.

    Baseball: Never watched or heavily participated in baseball so I just never learned to appreciate it. I guess I'd just throw out Willie Mayes and Ty Cobb.
