Legendary dreaming

[EMCE Hammer]

Namath and Ali were at their zenith in the 70s. With that in mind here are some of my favorite candidates in no particular order:

Jimmy Connors
Kareem
Gordie Howe
Pele
Earl Anthony
Richard Petty
Pete Rose

I'd love to see a Howard Cosell, and a Nicklaus/Palmer two pack.

Steve Prefontaine
Reggie Jackson
Bruce Jenner
Dr. J

[EMCE Hammer]

I almost went with Dr. J on my basketball selection. There are so many iconic baseball players it's hard to choose one. I grew up a Reds fan so Pete is mine, but I'd be happy with just about anybody. I'd buy a Bruce Jenner and a Pre too.
