NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL. Who is the best player you have seen live in each?

[Dr.Love]

Best player obviously subjective. Here are my choices.

NFL: Lawrence Taylor. Runner up, Aaron Rodgers.

MLB: Mike Trout. Runner up, Barry Bonds.

NBA: Kobe Bryant. Runner up, Charles Barkley.

NHL: Wayne Gretzky. Runner up, Mark Messier.

NFL: Brady

MLB: Bonds

NBA: Lebron

NHL: Crosby....not much hockey experience though

NFL: Brady

MLB: Bonds

NBA: Lebron

NHL: Crosby....not much hockey experience though

Good list. We've both been blessed with some live experiences. Wish I would splurged and seen Jordan when I had the chance..

 

[Dr.Love]

We need some old timers in here. I wanna see a Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, or Roberto Clemente up in here...

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

MLB...Willie Mays

NBA...Jordan (Wilt right there)

NHL...Gretzky

NFL...Jim Brown

 

[Dr.Love]

MLB...Willie Mays

NBA...Jordan (Wilt right there)

NHL...Gretzky

NFL...Jim Brown

Mays and Jim Brown? Damn....

Envious. Early in the thread. But don't think this will be topped. With Jordan and Gretzky? The GOAT's in their respective sports? No way. Winner. Early. I'm calling it..

 

[slapshot]

MLB Clemente/Rose

NBA Oscar Robertson

NFL Munoz/Rice

NHL Mario/Roy

WHA Gretzky/Howe

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

When it is all said and done, Mike Trout could be the best baseball player ever....

 

[lostinamerica]

NFL: Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Reggie White, Charles Woodson

MLB: Barry Bonds, Lou Brock, Harmon Killebrew

NBA: None

NCAA Basketball: Isiah Thomas, Ronnie Lester, Steve Alford

NHL: None

PGA: Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, all while within 3 shots of
the lead on Sunday in a major. Same with Norman, Irwin and Payne Stewart. Plus Player,
Trevino, Seve, Miller, Els, while not in close contention in a major.

[PoundFoolish]

NFL: Aaron Rodgers
NHL: Mario Lemieux
NBA: Larry Bird
MLB: Too many to list

 

[Willie99]

NFL: Brady
MLB: Carew, Oliva, Jeter, Mo, Big Papi... and many more HOF's
NBA: Tatum or Brown as NBA players, otherwise there's a long list of UConn & Big East players like Ray Allen & Patrick Ewing
NHL: Ron Francis (the Whalers were stolen in like 1997, haven't followed the NHL in 23 years)

 

[Knightrofins]

NFL- Either Rodgers, Vick, or Marino (bias)
NBA- Jordan, Wade (i was at 2006 NBA finals)
MLB- Freddie Freeman- i'm a braves fan and for some reason he always has a good game when i see him play
NHL- been to 10-20 panthers game in my life but nobody stood out
College football- Daunte Culpepper. During his days at UCF, we played shitty schools from Louisiana not named LSU. He was a man amongst boys

 

[Willie99]

NHL: I forgot about Gordie Howe, although he may have been like 50 at the time

 

[919]

MLB: Griffey, Bonds, Rose
NFL: Moss (played against him in HS so I’m counting it). Have seen some good Steeler teams, but no all time greats...Bettis was up there.
NBA: Haven't been to many NBA games, but did see Barkley. Ton of great players in the old Big East.
