To this day I have thought about greatest sports personalities - TopicsExpress



          

To this day I have thought about greatest sports personalities ever. As a kid there was Maradona, Ayrton Senna, sergei bubka, Paulo maldini, Steffi, Schumacher and Pete Sampras. OK Agassi also. They embodied their sport. But I always thought that the best sportsperson has been Joe Louis. Today I can say that record, like many others, has been shattered by a mile by Sachin Tendulkar. It is said that Louis defeated the biggest pressure a sportsman can ever face against Schmeling. But to carry the burden of a billion people for 24 yrs and to have an image like FDR is beyond Louis. Like Teddy Roosevelt said: speak softly, carry a big stick. The stick here is a cricket bat. He has always spoken loud enough with it and with great dignity. Cricket will be a different game without you Sahin.
