It’s a toss up between Rick Flair and Hulk Hogan. Uh, hold off, Hulk Hogan is red not white.

Tom Glavine
Drafted by the LA Kings in 1984....2 full rounds ahead of Brett Hull Never knew that. I believe Eric Lindros had mlb potential too.

McHale, Bird and Parish GREATEST front court in the history of Professional Basket Ball PERIOD. Don't hold it against me, but I came of age in the 80's as a huge Lakers fan. I hated everything about Boston, parquet floors, white towels, announcers who used bad grammar, Tommy Heinsohn, air conditioners that did not work in the visitors' locker room in June, and especially, Larry Bird. Bird couldn't get his heels six inches off the ground at the same time. He couldn't run, jump, cut, was slow-footed on defense, was only a so-so dribbler, and looked like an anteater to boot. Compared to the Laker thoroughbreds, the guy was Shrek in a pair of cement Converse. Except ... the SOB could shoot the rock, had great anticipation (regularly put on clinics on how to block out), and had icewater in his veins. I saw a documentary on TV recently in which opposing players told of Bird going into a timeout with seconds to play and the game on the line, and telling them on his way off the floor how he was going to come out of the timeout, and hit the winning shot from right THERE, and point to the spot. And then he'd come out of the timeout, come around a pick, receive the pass right THERE, and drop the bomb. I wouldn't choose Larry Bird to win any footrace, jumping contest, strength, speed, quickness agility, yada yada, as in he was not the most ATHLETIC dude around. But ask me to put my money on the one white guy I'd want deciding things? That's easy. Larry was as clutch as clutch comes. He caused me a lot of heartburn back when I bled purple and gold. I don't know if anyone ever did more with less than Bird. Much as I "hated" him then, he (and Magic) were sure fun to watch.

I would throw Joe Mauer out there. He was the number 1 rated QB in the nation in high school, had multiple DIv 1 basketball offers and was the #1 draft choice in Major League Baseball. Let that sink in.....#1 QB in nation AND #1 MLB draft choice. Won MLB batting titles and golden gloves as a catcher.
In terms of pure athleticism, I have always thought cornerbacks have to be phenomenal. They have to cover WRs. They have to react to a WRs moves. That takes exceptional athleticism.
What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

Great swimmer for sure, could he have excelled in other sports? 6'4" with a 28" inseam... don't think he would make much of a high jumper...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Gordie Howe, had all the skill/size/tenacity to do damn near anything. Modern, Mike Trout, quite sure he's cut of the same cloth I kinda like this one, But, as some evidence presented in the 'Evolution" thread points out, white folks might have started out black so the Greatest White Athlete might not actually be "white" after all. Geno PS, and does it really matter? sheesh
