Not necessarily in any order:
1. "Black Jesus" aka Michael Jordan
2. Tom Brady
3. Jim Thorpe
4. "The Doctor" aka "Dr. J" aka Julius Erving
5. "JT" aka John Tavares - not the NHL star, but his uncle whom the NHL star is named after. JT is a box lacrosse star who is now Head Coach of the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League and NLL Hall of Famer.
6. "The Babe" aka George Herman "Babe" Ruth.
7. Pele

In terms of my favourites, mostly footballers.
John Terry, Frank Lampard, Lionel Messi.
Then I like Jo's Buttler and Joe Root, both cricketers

[Asker]

John Terry and Frank Lampard are interesting choices. What do you think of the likes of Pele and Maradona?

[Avcfhcic]

I'm a Chelsea fan and grew up with those 2 as my icons.
Pele and maradona are obviously phenomenal players but they mean nothing to me.
I think I misread the question and went more for favourites than greatest lol
