Athletes nobody hates

Just watching the packers preseason game. I think this is a short list - big time athletes that everyone likes (or at least doesn't despise).

My short list:
Brett Favre
Tony Gwynn
Michael Jordan
Wayne Gretzky

I think MJ is the only iffy pick, but I'm no hockey expert. Any other candidates, past or present?

I don't hate Favre but I'm getting tired of everyone that gets on their knees for him.

Oh God, yes. Watching a Packer game becomes nearly insufferable due to the announcers' constant ballwashing.

I don't think Jevon Walker gets on his knees for him.

Lou Gehrig, I would think.

I'm not a Ripken fan. I'm not impressed with him riding the glory of a silly consecutive games played record. I don't hate him though.

For the British posters:

Paula Radcliff....oh sorry thats right everybody hates her.
