Just because poker is on ESPN, that doesn't make it a sport.

That's why I picked Spitz: it's the closest to Hachem in that it demonstrates outstanding performance over a pretty short period of time. The others are all much longer-term.

BTW, Nicklaus not only won eighteen majors, he placed 2nd in majors an additional NINETEEN times. THIRTY-SEVEN top two finishes in the biggest and most prestigious golf tournaments in the world. Now THAT'S greatness and Tiger will never match that.

Kobayashi wins! Anyone can races through mountains in France...but eat 50+ hot dogs in 12 minutes...that is the ultimate.

You can't compare him to Lance Armstrong until he wins the WSOP 7 years in a row. Even then I don't know how you can compare a mental sport like poker to any other physical sport.
