This is sad. I think he was the greatest athlete in my life-time.

Others may argue that he started the "look-at-me" status of athletes; the trash talking of athletes; the "I-am-better-than-you athlete".

I, for one, wish he hadn't. In fact, I blame him for the crap we deal with today.

I’m talking about his athletic ability, physique, and stamina. He was a great athlete in that respect. He also had a sense of humor, unlike some of the trash-talking whiny “athletes of today.
