Who do you think is the GOAT athlete from all sports?

There have been many great athletes throughout history, such as Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Kelly Slater, Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, Eddy Merckx, Muhammad Ali, Gretzky, Bo Jackson, Jesse Owens, Floyd Mayweather, Allyson Felix, Margaret Court, Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Ronaldo, Messi, Pele, Maradona, Don Bradman, Hussein Bolt, and Mensoletsepele. Each of these athletes has proven their greatness in different ways, but all should be recognized for the amazing accomplishments they have achieved.
 
Transcript: "I tell you what. I have loved watching every one of the experts that have answered this question and they reasons why they have chosen the certain athlete or athletes that they think is the greatest of all time in history of All Sport. And whether that's because they've had to overcome adversity or they've had the longest career or the handle. The most amount of pressure. Everybody has their views on what makes the greatest of all time. I've gone through Listen to all the answers of all the other experts and I've taken a few notes. It seems to me that there is Michael Phelps, Michael, Jordan, Tom, Brady Kelly Slater. Tiger Woods is right up there. Usain Bolt, Eddy. Merckx, Muhammad Ali Gretzky, Bo Jackson, Jesse, Owens, Floyd Mayweather, the lists go on and on. what I noticed in all of those names is there wasn't a lot of females mention and I think we have plenty to talk about for me personally, Allyson Felix watching her compete over for Olympic span gold, meddling in every one of them in a Sprint, you know, the 100 200 200 400. We really do 200, 400, just in the moment. One of the most beautiful Runners. I think I've ever seen run. I just think her athleticism is off the charts. Oh Allyson. Felix, big shout out to you from me on that. I like to look at tennis because that is a very popular sport around the world and I'm going to give a shout out to Margaret Court. The Australian twenty four grand slams. Yes, Serena Williams has 23. And yes, I think Serena Williams is absolutely off the charts and amazing and sober Steffi Graf and some of the greatest female tennis players we've ever seen. I also didn't mention that Federer was also mentioned in many of the other people's ideas of what they thought was a Great at greatest of all time. So Federer was there. I'd also that you got to add Nadal and Djokovic to the tennis equation. Then you have to look at a sport like soccer. It's hard, not to look at the greatest soccer players because it's the most popular sport in the world. Everybody plays it. And so most watch sport in the world. So to get to become the greatest all-time soccer player. It's hard to say, you're not one of the greatest all-time athletes of all time. So you've got to look at Ronaldo and Messi and Pele. Maradona, you can't put him in that list, then guess? What's the second most popular? Played sport and watch sport cricket? Nobody's talked about Cricket. Don Bradman bring Australian. We gotta have Don Bradman in that equation of greatest all-time athlete. And then you think hang on. What was the one sport that every kid does? Every kid, no matter what they run. They run at the age of five. Everybody's done a running race by then. Who's the greatest runner of all time. I've said Allyson Felix already. You got to add in Hussein, bolt big time and meals out of pepper. He was mentioned. He was mentioned by someone, but the guy won the 5K 10K and the marathon at to Olympics. Doesn't happen anymore. Nothing like that. The guy was absolutely off the chart. So I think I've covered a lot in that. We also didn't mention Jack Nicklaus. We've talked about Tiger Woods, but Jack, Nicklaus still has more of the majors. So, I think, I think that's pretty good cover. I think we pretty much did everybody. Special. Shout out to Kelly Slater after just winning pipeline. Thirty years, after he won his first. I mean, the guys now is 50. He was five days. Shy of 50, come on. So anyway, that's my one greatest athlete of all time. There you go. Cheers."

Tom Brady is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) because he was able to make himself an elite athlete with hard work, dedication, and perseverance despite being a sixth-round draft pick. Michael Phelps would be the second greatest of all time.

In my eyes, the greatest athlete of all time is someone whose human spirit never gives up and never breaks no matter what the circumstances. An example is Louie Zamperini, an American track athlete who overcame adversity after the Olympics, survived a plane crash during WWII, spent 47 days at sea, and became a POW. The famous quote from the movie Unbroken is "If you can take it, you can make it," which I think captured the strength of Louie's spirit.
