The great ones are just must see TV. Not just during the playoffs or major events in their sports. There have been many great players in all of the sports during my lifetime. And I would call myself a pretty avid sports fan.
In golf I was privilaged to see Palmer, Nicklaus, Watson, and all of the current stars. But Tiger Woods was the must see guy every week he was competing.
In hockey. Howe, Orr, Richard, Lemieux, Messier, etc. But the must see guy in hockey was Gretzky. If the Oilers were on you watched. It was must see TV.
In football there have been so many it is hard to even quantify listing. Unitas, Sayers, Simpson, Montana and Rice to name a few. Mahomes has entered that category of must see TV.
Baseball is harder. Mays, Mantle, Gibson, Ryan, Griffey JR, Reggie Jackson, etc. One guy that was trending towards must see was Bo Jackson, but his career was cut short.
In basketball I've seen Russell, Chamberlin, Kareem, Bird, Magic, and the current list of greats. All awesome to watch. But the must see TV guy was Jordan. Hands down.
And while we watch all the great ones and admire their talents, the Tiger's, Gretzky's, Mahomes's, and Jordan's are must see because you just never know what they might be able to do that you have never seen before in that sport. When you think you have seen it all, they out do even themselves.
