There is a short Pelé clip in there, but I agree soccer could have been more represented, although it is obviously geared towards a U.S. audience.

To the comment about it being too Ali and MJ centric, they are clearly two of the top three athletes of the century, along with Babe Ruth, who was also very prominently featured (especially considering the relative amount of footage available compared to other two).

Also, we're dealing with iconic images. When I first viewed it, I thought they completely missed Jerry Rice, the greatest receiver and arguably the greatest NFL player of all time. It turns out he had a brief flash. But really, how many truly iconic moments did he command?

As far as Tom Chambers, that clip was like a half a second, and totally warranted inclusion, precisely for its WTF element. And the White Sox winning the WS happened after this video was compiled. It was an end of the century thing.
