Muhammad Ali
greatest boxer to have ever entered the ring he attacked like no other and his foot work cannot not be compared. to put it in his own word,"I'm the greatest thing that ever lived. I'm so great I don't have a mark on my face. I shook up the world."

Michael Jackson
the legendary king of pop from Gary Indiana, he danced , he sang and we watched all over the globe we tried to be like him especially on the dance floor unlucky for us it was never blood on the dance floor just a few bones out of place cause his precision could not be matched. like a snaked he was good to look at but not too good to get close to like he said,"
Snakes are very misunderstood. Snakes, I suggest, may be the oldest victims of bad press.can u imagine he had a boa for a pet. To him one had to,"Keep on with the force, don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough."

Michael Jordan
the bestest basket baller to have bounced the basket ball on these worldly basket ball courts, the legendary air Jordan did it all to win it all he sent the bar too high that even he failed to be like him when doing a stint with the wizards.

Michael Schumacer

It has yet to reach its conclusion and what he has achieved extends over and above the results obtained. He is an exceptional man and a legend as a driver."

. Lomu a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He had sixty-three caps as an All Black after debuting in 1994. He is generally regarded as the first true global superstar of rugby union.

Lomu burst onto the international rugby scene during the 1994 Hong Kong Sevens tournament and was widely acknowledged to be the top player at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa even though New Zea land lost the championship game to the host Springboks. At one time Lomu was considered 'rugby union's biggest draw card',[4] swelling attendances at any match where he appeared.He is officially the Rugby World Cup all-time top try scorer with 15 tries.

finally i thought all the above were great and legendary until last night as i watched USAIN BOLT break his own record with so much ease and his nemesis failing to even come close enough to it(dude should fire his coach for filling him up with too much confidence and ideas that he stood a chance against the sprinting monster). who breaks his own record of 9.69? this guy is indeed a beast his strides alone makes him to seem like he's gliding as his competitors struggle to compete for second place. he is the greatest indeed 9.58 that in human no wonder some one on face book said the guy should be investigated as he could be feeding on cheetahs. one of the many theories of what could be behind his ernomous skill or call it talent if u want. another funny one was that he feeds on yams according to his folks if true i think my bros in bwaise could be winning races like a problem let alone the nigerians with their "fufu". he's the worlds greatest comes second to none and there seems to be no competition for him in the near future....the manly beast celebrating his ever expected wins. reminds me of some time back in high school where in my senior year i expected to win the biggest sporting accolade of the sporting week -the 100 m dash only to be upset by a little known wakabi lawrence who won it bolt syle despite being dragged in forcefully by his house to just participate i ended the race a miserable 3. i hate these striding athletes. but of of course we all love BOLT bolting away....go on player go on. since he is so good i also wanted to share this with u so u can appreciate the world records this dude has under his belt
