Scratchtown Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 All sports included. But lets separate male and female. Who is the best male athlete? Who is the best female athlete? Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Mavric mentioned Merlene Ottey in the status update with this question. There's a pretty good argument to be made for her. Fastest woman in the world for a decade or so. Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Here are my choices Male: Jordan Burroughs. To me this is a no brainer and not even close Female: Merlene Ottey Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I am really surprised more people don't think Suh is. His speed, power, quickness, foot work all at his size is almost, if not, unmatched. To me right now it's really close between Suh and Burroughs. Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Female: Mortise Ivy, I an not sure that is the correct spelling of her name. Male: Straight up athletes Darin Erstad, Gerry Gdowski Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Turner Gill Erstad Gordon- My son plays bball with a son of a MLB scout. I asked his opinion about the ease in which Gordon made the switch from 3b to LF. He said only a great athlete would make that switch so flawlessly on the mlb stage. Of course, AG was a bad 3bman so maybe that helped. Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Male: Ahman Green Female: Merlene Ottey Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I forgot to add Ahman. What a bolt of lightening. In my mind you have to play more than one sport to be considered in the best athlete dialogue, which eliminates Suh. Quote Link to comment

PaulCrewe Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Eric Strickland seems to be a forgotten name already in this discussion. Second this one. Would have started at wingback easily. Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Eric Strickland seems to be a forgotten name already in this discussion. Second this one. Would have started at wingback easily. My vote as well. Female..Allison Weston. Everyone thinks vb but she was a beast on the bball and soccer field as well. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Eric Strickland seems to be a forgotten name already in this discussion. Second this one. Would have started at wingback easily. My vote as well. Female..Allison Weston. Everyone thinks vb but she was a beast on the bball and soccer field as well. Eric was a super stud baseball player as well, if I recall correctly. Weston is a good pick as well. Ahman Green was a freak athlete. Quote Link to comment
