Who are the most charismatic athletes ever? (1 Viewer)

[Ghost Rider]

First ones that come to mind for me are:

Magic Johnson

Deion Sanders

Joe Namath (which is why he is so overrated)

Who else?

 

[Limp Ditka]

Ali

[Jayrod]

Barkley is second, IMO.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Pele

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Ali

Odd that he was not in the first post.

Babe Ruth would be up there, too.

 

[Sabertooth]

Gronk. Love that guy.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

One for each sport...

Muhammad Ali, Magic Johnson, Babe Ruth, Arnold Palmer, Andre Agassi, David Beckham, NHL?

 

[BroadwayG]

Ric Flair WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Boston]

One for each sport...

Muhammad Ali, Magic Johnson, Babe Ruth, Arnold Palmer, Andre Agassi, David Beckham, NHL?

I think Messier has to be a contender for the NHL title...disagree about Agassi...he is nowhere near Jimmy Connors...

 

[Wrigley]

MJ

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Jay Cutler.

 

[gianmarco]

Shaq

Peyton

Jeter

Kurt Warner

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Shaq

Peyton

Jeter

Kurt Warner

Those guys are mostly as bland as they come. Shaq sometimes is not, but that monotone. They certainly have some intangible powers, but I don't think that I would call any of them charismatic.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Conners was loathed by most? fans for most of his career.

 

[General Malaise]

Troy Aikman

 

[Da Guru]

Marshawn Lynch,

 

[Mr. Ected]

Marshawn Lynch,

Yup...

 

[Mr. Ected]

Not sure about all time, but of current athletes, Russell Wilson is up there.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Conners was loathed by most? fans for most of his career.

Chris Evert was well liked, but it may have been because of her frilly panties.

J.J. Watt

Mickey Mantle

Teemu Selanne

Paul Mokeski

Roger Staubach

Brett Favre

J.J. Watt

Mickey Mantle

Teemu Selanne

Have a cousin-in-law that works for the Packers. She says he was the nicest guy, always holding doors for people, etc.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Achilles

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Iron Sheik

 

[Bucks]

Chi-Chi Rodriguez

John Salley

Torii Hunter

 

[17seconds]

That hot javelin chick

 

[Raider Nation]

Warren Coolidge.

 

[Boston]

Conners was loathed by most? fans for most of his career.

Early in his career he was the bad boy but in the second half of his career he was as popular as you could be in tennis...some of the big matches later in his career were among the best ever played and when it was the US Open the crowd was never louder...he was one of the more animated players ever and he knew how to get the crowd involved...

 

[thetman]

Mike Zangrilli? How else could he trick 750 leagues of fantasy players into holding around a million bucks to commish leagues?

 

[thetman]

But seriously...Magic, Deion, Brett Hull, Ali

 

[Mr. Retukes]

John Salley
Torii Hunter

These guys look alike, too.

 

[fantasycurse42]

MJ

 

[Sabertooth]

Bruce Lee

 

[Sinn Fein]

Maximus

 

[BlueDemon]

Reggie jackson

 

[Meatwad Reloaded]

Bruce Jenner wins this. Nobody can top starring in a reality series with a harem of spoiled Armenian hags, only to be driven so nuts that you turn yourself into a butt ugly woman.

 

[JohnnyU]

Bert Jones.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

In my lifetime, it's Ali and it's not even close.

Fighting for second would be Reggie Jackson, Ray Leonard, Joe Namath, Magic, and Joe Flacco.

 

[FUBAR]

Ali

Watt

OJ (before, you know...)

People who've met him tell me Peyton is as good a guy as they come and likable.

 

[xulf]

Eli

 

[flapgreen]

Ali

/thread

yeah

 

[The Kerminator]

Ali

Vince Lombardi

 

[offdee]

Joe Flacco was the first one that came to mind.

"Most charismatic in a room full of no one"

 

[Zow]

Ali and Jordan were the first to come to mind and after reflection I don't think anybody tops them.

Chad ochocinco

Namath

Jeff Gordon

Schumaker

Usain bolt

Reynaldo

Beckham

Jeter

Mantle

Brady

Tebow

I guess there's different ways to define "charismatic", but Jordan doesn't fit my definition. He was boring as hell off of the court, IMO. "Republicans buy shoes, too" isn't my idea of electrifying.

 

[ffldrew]

In hockey - I'd say Patrick Roy

Charismatic playing yes..but I agree Jordan is very bland off the court.
