Since no one seems to like soccer (the second most beautifull sport in the world) I will give it it's due and say that my favorite athlete outside of the dolphins, is for sure, Diego Armando Maradona man that guy was amazing, in one game of the 86 world cup he scored the most amazing goal ever, dribbling 5 men including the goalkeeper to score, and minutes later he scored a goal with his hand, (which is illegal) but he did not get caught for it. Amazing.
I saw him play live like 4 years ago, he was like 40 something, in Mexico to play in a farewell game for one of Mexico's most important player (carlos Hermosillo for anyone htat is mexican) and he was fat and even with that, he had more talent, and touch and ability than any player in the field.
hands down best player ever.
