Actually, I'm surprised they didn't give it to Clemens.
Clemens, Duncan, and Clemente is a tough group. And in another year or two, Tomlinson will make it tougher.
BEST ATHLETES BY NUMBER
#21 ROBERTO CLEMENTE
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mul...ontent.23.html
He is remembered as much for his humanitarianism as for his renown in right field. Clemente won four batting les, 12 Golden Glove awards and finished his career with an average of .300. He died at 38, in 1972, in a cargo plane that was carrying supplies and food to Nicaragua.
Runner-up: Roger Clemens.
Worthy of consideration: Tim Duncan, Sidd Finch, Kevin Garnett, Stan Mikita, David Pearson, Deion Sanders, Sammy Sosa,Warren Spahn, LaDainian Tomlinson, Dominique Wilkins.

0 is not a tough number to win. Arenas won
#3 Babe Ruth
#6 Russell "the NBA's Lord of the Ring"
#10 Pele (runner-up Maradona)
#13 Wilt Chamberlain
A Rod is near to being the youngest to a 500HR in his career I wonder if he'd be a runner up next yr?
#50

to the Admiral

#50 DAVID ROBINSON
The Admiral set San Antonio on its current dynastic course, winning the MVP in 1995 and two championships. He's also the only male basketball player in U.S. history to appear in three Olympic Games.
what a beautiful picture.

Runner-up: Mike Singletary.
Worthy of consideration: Rebecca Lobo, Dave Rimington, Ralph Sampson (college).
#33 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
runner up : Larry Bird
IMO, is close.
#13 is Dan ing Marino. Wilt my ass.
Yeah, right. Dan "0 rings" Marino.
i like clemente there, i think everyone that knows his story has a fond spot for him
#22. Emmitt James Smith.
Sorry, but who?Worthy of consideration: Sidd Finch, Stan Mikita, David Pearson
Haha.Worthy of consideration: Dominique Wilkins
This loser/pretender can't even make the playoffs.Worthy of consideration: Kevin Garnett
Switch Tim and Kevin, hypothetically: The Spurs don't win any championships; there's no way the T'wolves miss the playoffs.
, put Tim with a lineup of C. J. Watson, Marcus Williams, Jacques Vaughn and Engelbert Humperdinck and he still makes the playoffs.
Now, lil' Kevin wants Nash to babysit him in Phoenix.
Don't ever even think of comparing Tim and Kevin favorably. I don't care one iota about stats. I'm talking about that genetic component of one's cons ution that makes some winners and some losers.
We've got the winner.

#20 Barry Sanders! God took his time when he give this guy his skills
I probably would have given it to Clemens... and I'm not sure if I see Duncan ever catching Clemens as far as historical legacy.
It's good to know that a national sports media outlet recognizes that Tim Duncan is in the same company as a fictional pitcher.
The Curious Case of Sidd Finch
The April 1, 1985 article is also famous for its subhead, which read:
"He's a pitcher, part yogi and part recluse. Impressively liberated from our opulent life-style, Sidd's deciding about yoga —and his future in baseball."
If Timmy has to be behind anyone, I am ok with Clemente and Clemens.
#20 is.....................................not Manu [pwnt]
where can I get a Sidd Finch throwback?
How many people in the world outside of the US give a crap about Roger Clemens?
Actually, I think I have seen one. In SI, of course.
The Sidd Finch thing was modestly humorous when it came out, but SI has been eternally giving itself the Kluby like it was on the level of a Mark Twain masterpiece.
Agreed but I was speaking only for myself, not the world.How many people in the world outside of the US give a crap about Roger Clemens?
Because of what he did for so many people, I have absolutely no problem with Roberto Clemente being there.
Duncan has had a much greater impact on his team's success than Clemente or Clemens. And Duncan is in the same elite company in professional basketball history that those two are in baseball's. Someday people will realize the greatness of Tim Duncan.
how the is warren moon on there.
If Duncan ends up with 6+ les and continues at a high level of play, Clemens will be far back in his mirror, and even Clemente would have to cede authority. Not from a humanitarian perspective, obviously, but we're talking about sports here.
