Was talking to a buddy and I was pretty much saying no matter what happens in all of Wisconsin sports we have zero right to complain about anything because we have Aaron Rodgers. As much as I have complained about the NBA only being competitive between a few teams, or how frustrated I've been with the Brewers and their recent past misery, I have realized in the grand schemes of things I have nothing to complain about. Or perhaps other fans frustrations are more justified than mine.
I was saying it's like we have our own Lebron James and then I kinda stepped dead in my tracks. Cause it is... Lebron James. Even though IMO football > basketball its hard to ignore how big of an icon Lebron is. Then for a little while I was thinking damn who would I rather have.
So here's the question. Lets say of the 4 major sports Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Hockey, if you could pick any active player to be on your team who would it be. There's a few factors that come into play. What type of championship would you like to experience winning? Everyone has different preferences, some prefer basketball over football, baseball over basketball, hockey over baseball ect. Also, whoever you pick you take their past, present, and future into consideration. So if you pick an older person like Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Or Albert Pujols that means you will have been able to experience them in their primes and winning championships for your team. If you want you can pick someone younger who is a superstar but doesn't quite have a legacy yet like a Kevin Durant...or a very young player with Superstar potential like Andrew Luck, Kyrie Irving, Mike Trout or Bryce Harper.
So who would you pick?
Brady
Manning
Rodgers
Kobe
Lebron
Durant
Pujols
Verlander
Ovechkin
Crosby
