I'm not looking to argue about who's the best and this or that, but instead who your favorite athletes are of all time.

I'll start off...

1. Manny Pacquiao - Fellow countryman and a class act. He was and is one of the most electrifying boxers I've ever seen. I haven't seen a boxer as exciting as Pacquiao since Mike Tyson (again with my own eyes).
2. Michael Jordan - Moving from the Philippines to the Bronx, it was Michael Jordan who captivated me in the sport of basketball (both with his game on court and off of it with the movie Space Jam.)
3. Michael Vick - Was easily the most electrifying player to play the game since Barry Sanders. Living in CT, it was hard as fukk to catch the Falcons games online, so I would always have ESPN on just to catch any highlights from his games. He's 75% of the reason why I'm an all-Atlanta fan living in Connecticut.

Honorable Mentions:

Kobe Bryant - I was drawn to Kobe, as many were, because of his similarities to MJ. Throughout middle school and high school, I balled in Jordans, but made the transition to Kobes on court in college. Since then, I've been balling in Kobe's kicks since the Kobe 6's! (Just got a pair of Kobe 8's, looking forward to how his 9's turn out.)

Derek Jeter - Was my baseball idol growing up. Even though I was a Jeter fan growing up in the Bronx, I still ended up a Braves fan because I "wanted to be different" from the rest of my family and siblings who were Yankee fans. (Thanks, TBS!)
