Re: Best use of talent in sports history
For me, this topic is basically "who is the best player to not waste any of his talent". Somebody who achieved all they could, didn't really slack off, and a great career beginning to end. Plus, maybe a little bit of the guy not being the greatest physical specimen ever. That gives me:
Wayne Gretzky Never had a bad season (slowed down due to age, but never horrible), dominated for an extended period of time, won everything that could be won in his sport, and looks like an accountant.

[ QUOTE ] David Beckham. [/ QUOTE ] Are you serious? [/ QUOTE ] Kinda yes. The amount of money he's made is certainly unique. If we're only talking about on the field he's still a pretty good answer. England captain, part of some pretty good football teams even though he's very limited talentwise. What was the George Best qoute? "He cant kick with his left foot, he cant tackle, he cant pass a defender and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right" or something like that?

Zach Thomas. Guy was supposed to be a total nobody in the NFL and wasn't supposed to do jack. Couldn't be more wrong.
