Unless you have liked the same athlete your whole life it is okay to break it down by era. For me:

In the 80's growing up was a huge Vinnie Johnson fan. The microwave's jump shot was deadly.
Even though now I look back and feel he was overrated, LOVED to watch Mike Tyson fight. By the time he fought Holyfield I was rooting against him.
Obviously Barry Sanders. He made me Lion's season tickets and still remember that run against the Cowboys in the playoffs when he was getting tackled by like 5 guys and squirted out to do the mad dash down the field.
Now a big Justin Verlander fan.

If I had to pick on that stretched a lifetime, would have to say Joe Montana. Whether it was that bad ass gold helmet or using him in video games, Montana was the man.

Dan Fouts. Chargers have been my team since late 70's. I loved watching Dan and the whole Air Coryell package. They played some exciting football.

Barry Sanders. Amazing. As a former Dertoiter, respect him more than any athlete.

 Peyton Manning because he comes to play every single week, I trust that when I put $$$$ on Peyton hes going to give his all.
