Maddux was a dominant pitcher throughout the ’90s, winning four Cy Young Awards in a row from 1991 to 1994. Perhaps even more impressively, Maddux is the most accomplished fielding pitcher in league history.
In a 2002 episode of the TV series “Do-Over,” the main character lost a baseball game to a young Greg Maddux, who was portrayed by Shad Hart. In total, the gorgeous pitcher collected 18 Gold Gloves during a career that made stops in Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
Joe Namath - NFL
Joe Namath, AKA "Broadway Joe," started in the American Football League (AFL) before transitioning into the NFL during the ‘60s and ‘70s. What made the quarterback so unique was his incredible charisma and charm. He helped the New York Jets win their first and only Super Bowl in 1969, which helped turn him into a household name.
In 1985, Namath was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, an honor he earned with flying colors. His stats included more than 1,850 successful passes, with an average 50% success rate. That’s over 27,663 yards throughout his career - though, it's safe to say that fans tuned into games to see him smile!
Magic Johnson- NBA
The most revolutionary player in the history of the sport, Magic Johnson’s uniqueness will have him at or near the top of these lists for decades to come. With size and vision that the game had never seen before, Johnson took the league by storm, heading the attack for the electric “Showtime” Lakers.
Players like LeBron, Tracy McGrady, Penny Hardaway, and most recently, Giannis Antetokounmpo all resemble bits and pieces of Magic’s style. Still, the league may never see a floor general with Magic's size and leadership again.
Julius Erving - NBA
Dr. J might be remembered more for his nickname and beautiful head of hair, but the 16-time ABA/NBA All-Star was also one of the best ballplayers in league history. He stuffed the stat sheet in all aspects.
For his career, Erving averaged 24.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 4.2 assists per game. Dr. J also shot a fantastic 50.6-percent from the floor. A true entertainer, Erving accomplished everything with a flair the league had never seen before.
Boris Becker - Tennis
Becker, the German former world No. 1 pro tennis player, is also one of the sport's most handsome players. He is a six-time major singles champion and was the youngest Wimbledon men’s champion when he was 17. In his career, he won 3 Wimbledon titles, 13 Masters Series titles, five elite indoor titles.
He is the only player to have won all 3 Open era season end finals ATP Tour Finals, WCT Finals, and Grand Slam Cup. Becker also won the Olympic gold medal in doubles. From 2013 to 2016, he coached the legend that is Novak Djokovic.
