    This is clearly not going to be a popular choice and I will be getting many thumbs downs I'm sure but all of them had they're flaws.

    Rice=Had good QB's, had he not he may not have had as much succes, I'm not saying he isn't amazing and the best WR ever easily I'm just saying he wasn't the only guy on the field.

    Jordan=The same sort of thing as Rice, I think he wouldn't have gotten as far with his career without Pippen both players made each other look good all the time and yet neither one had as much succes when they weren't playing together.

    Phelps=While he is easily the best swimmer not just now, but in history he gets to do a lot more that say the track and field people or the gymansts for example.

    Mays=Again like the Rice and Jordan he wasn't the only player on the team, and thats what teams do, they make each other look good.

    So in Order I'd have to say:

    1.Mays

    2.Jordan

    3.Phelps

    4.Rice

    Very good question, very tough decision to make, you deserve a star!

    I am going to have to go with MJ. Air Jordan is by far the greatest player alive.

  • I starred but that's a very hard decision. I would go with Jerry Rice. The guy stayed in tip top shape his entire career. He was dedicated even in the offseason. I'd go with Mr. Rice.

    Michael Phelps, closely followed by Jordan.

    I have never heard of the other two guys. Do they play American games?
