Best. Of today and all time. Any sport. Regardless of whether you like that player or not. I'll start in several sports: NBA- Magic Johnson (Dr. J a close 2nd); MLB- Bambino; NHL- The Great One (think about it); NFL- Too Tall Jones; Golf- Arnies Army (OK, so they didn't play. So what?); Soccer-....just kidding. I know some of you out there will leave me banging my head saying "why didn't I think of him?". Let's hear it.

Billy "White Shoes" Johnson. I think he pioneered the endzone dance.
