is he the only athlete that has dominated for a full 10 years straight?
was he indicated top 3 in all these years?
But he didn't dominate in the entirety of the 10 years, no. But he's been an unprecedented jaw-flooring talent in the entirety of that time and it'll remain that way. Such as Pele.
wait until 2019 to know
He didnt dominated for 10 years. Ronaldo was a better player in his ballon d'or winning years, 06 and 07.
>>67024574
He won Silver player of the year behind Kaka in 2007
it's basically been 10 years of dominance
Jerry Rice
Gretzky won 9 MVPs in 10 years.
The only year he didn't was when he missed a quarter of the season with an injury. He still finished second in league scoring with higher points per game than first place. He then lead his team to a 16-2 playoff record (the best since the modern format was adopted) while breaking his own record for assists in a playoff run. He won playoff MVP of course.

Schumi. From Senna's death in 94 to 04 he won 7 of the 11 F1 championships and mostly sucked all the fun of the racing sport during his 5 consecutive titles stint.
Some seasons were absolutely pointless to watch, there were two certainties: Schumi would win and Barrichello would crash or break.
May not be the GOAT of the sport but certainly dominated his whole generation.

>>67027229
It's easy? Holy shit you're a retard. Maybe it's technically 'easier', but Gretzky dominated the rink in a way messi has never dominated the pitch. Hockey of course lends itself more to individual performance. Still, messi and strikers in general are overrated. Gretzky, Orr, and Lemieux singlehanded my won games all the time.

Because a superior strategy wins. You can sacrifice good pieces, but if your strategy is sound, the pawns can make the game. And in this case, the patriots have more knights than pawns

Greatest example of why football reminds me of chess is the two giant vs patriots super bowls. Both were won because Eli Manning and tom coughlin knew how to manage and outsmart brady and belichick despite having a team that was given last rites at the end of the season. Or John elway the drive.

Let me know when there's a 300 lb. fucking foward in fucking soccer. Let me know when there's a 130 lb sumo. Let me know when a physical fucking statistic isn't somehow related to a position. It's not "skill", as much as it is fucking fact. I don't care how much you skill you have as a fucking 4'10 serbian manlet, you can't compete well against a 5'5" Israelite in most sports.

>>67031214
If all pieces were equal, it would be straight chess. However, pieces aren't equal in sports. Football has the most position deviance in sports. Chess is simply the analogy,bc there's a similar setup between opponents. tl. it's simply the most strategic professional game because winning is not conditional on the quality of your pieces, but your strategy. Having better pieces helps a great deal tho, cause nogs
>>67031229

>Game requires no skill
>Europe can't even play the game

Height isn't necessarily a win-all, but in football, certain positions are benefited greatly by height. Some aren't.

It's not hard overly dominate a sport where you can get from one end to the other in 10 seconds and at best have to beat 2 opponents. Also the puck moves so fucking fast, and no one plays hockey besides USA, Canada, Sweden and Finland
>>67029870
How would you rank schumacher and vettel and fangio and that Finnish guy? I don't watch this sport but those are the only 4 names I ever see.

dis
what exactly is so impressive about basketball? You literally just have to be almost 7 feet tall and raise your arms and you're just a foot away from being able to dunk. There are players in the league that need a 20 inch vertical at most , not to mention scoring this way is so easy and braindead that they don't know how to so anything but a layup which is why the whole league doesn't have a 90%+ free throw percentage. Can you honestly tell me why a fucking professional athlete cannot make free throws? These fucks have $20 million dollar contracts for fucks sake. Basketball is shit.
>messi
>10 years dominating
he is NOTHING like his former self. he does not dribble past fags like he used to, he is just a statpadding babby like Ronaldo nowadays. there is no magic surrounding him anymore, and it has been gone since 2011.
Gretzky and Jordan are obvious.
Kobe and Brady in the 2000s as well.
both completely dominant and changed their games drastically to remain ahead of the curve of their sport
>>67033778

>>67033717
You know there's only a handful of players that can't make free throws right? And yeah if you're over 7 feet tall and don't have blown out knees or fat ass fuck then you have a decent chance of being in the nba
>>67024289
He's never won the World Cup, the sport's most sought after trophy, so no. Not only that, but his performances at the World Cup have been good at best, no where near goat status. Other athletes have dominated their own sports more. Of course, messi's sport doesn't lend itself to individual domination as much as those with fewer players (or a quarterback in a pass heavy team) do. Still, that should not count against those other players. Wayne Gretzky was more dominant than messi has ever been. Football strikers in general are overrated and euros' and others' insistence on calling it "the beautiful game" is currently the most harmful thing for the sport. It's just a job like any other. Good evidence for this lies in the second leg of this year's juventus-Bayern tie, in the half of which pep wanted his team to tap the ball in or some shit, which obviously wasn't happening. So he changed it up at half time to "Douglas Costa just cross it from 50 yards out, which proved extremely effective, and instead of calling pep a fool like they should everyone wants to suck him off.

No mention of Heather Mckay? I'm sure people will point out that squash isn't played by a lot of people, but Heather Mckay went undefeated from 1962 - 1981. She's also been a member of the Australian female hockey team, and won plenty of big racquetball tournaments following her retirement from squash. To dominate like that until the age of 40 in a sport as physical as squash is nothing short of amazing.

>Leading up to the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, it was announced that NHL players would be eligible to play for the first time. Gretzky was named to the club on November 29, 1997.[115] However, Gretzky, was passed over for the captaincy, along with several other Canadian veterans including Steve Yzerman and Ray Bourque in favour of the younger Eric Lindros.[120] Expectations were high for the Canadian team, but the team lost to the Czech Republic in the semi-finals.[121]
