Trump is at Madison Square Garden to watch Jones vs Miocic. He walked in with Dana White and the crowd went nuts.

I stumbled across an AI-generated list of the greatest athletes of all time on X today. While I agree with Michael Jordan being ranked #1, I’d definitely put Floyd Mayweather Jr. ahead of LeBron James. I also think it’s surprising that Khabib Nurmagomedov and Novak Djokovic didn’t make the cut.
Interesting list. Kelly Slater definitely should be in there, really the Michael Jordan of Surfing.
The AI (which feeds off of google and other big tech) frowns on opposing the jab, so he'll never be ranked.
And Brady in the list is silly too. Without his OL and the refs not calling blatant holding calls he's nothing comparatively. Jerry Rice would have been a better NFL choice, the way he dominated over other WR's.
How on earth is Jon Jones on this list and not Christiano Ronaldo. But Lebron is where is should be. Way down there not even close to Michael.
Not a Patriots fan, I see!
I actually thought Brady was too far down on the list. I had to look up Jon Jones to see who that is. Some WWE guy apparently. Is that even a sport?
Nothing against Brady or Patriots, really.
There can be a good discussion about QBs and who's best. Not so much with WRs.
It was an AI generated list, which brings all of AI's limitations to the table. Even if a human tried to create the list, how do you compare across different sports? I figure you have to look at how much they stand above others in their sport. For example, it's probably fair to put Usain Bolt on the list, because he absolutely dominated his sport for many years.
I made fun of Jon Jones, because I never heard of him. He is in MMA, not WWE as I said. Apparently he is regarded as one of the best MMA fighters of all time. Does one of the best in a single sport really get you on the 10 best overall list? I think you'd have to be clearly head and shoulders above anyone else within your sport to get on the overall top 10 list.
It's an interesting rabbit hole to go down. You could create a whole Youtube channel on this topic alone, and create interesting content on the subject for years.
I was just going by the fact that nearly every major sport was in the list and only listed once (except basketball and soccer) so you choose the best from each sport and the amount they 'dominated' over others.
I think you could also add swimming, gymnastics...
I really didn't want to get that deep into this
