Best Fictional Athlete

The Best Fictional Athlete bracket is now posted! We have reformatted the blog design a bit, and you can now find the current and updated brackets by clicking the tab at the top of the page called "Fictional Athletes."

All of the current bracket's material will be posted there, allowing me to continue to post articles and commentary in this section without forcing the bracket down. Hopefully it works out for all of us.

In review, click the tab up top (link for lazy people), vote on the bracket, and tell your friends.

Enjoy!

Best Athlete Ever - Winner

We have our first winner, and it comes from our Best Athlete Ever bracket!

And the winner is....

(waiting....)

(waiting....)

Michael Jordan!

Jordan beat out Muhammad Ali in a closely contested battle. Both were well deserving of playing in the finals, but in the end, one had to win.

You chose Jordan. Can't really fault you there. 5 MVPs. 6 championships. Most dominant basketball player ever. One of the most recognized and respected brands in all of sports. Not hard to defend this selection.

You can view the completed bracket in our "Past Brackets" tab, and all completed brackets will now appear on that page. For those of you who are lazy, click here.

Now that this bracket is completed, expect our next bracket to appear later this week. It's going to be an entertaining as hell bracket pitting the best Fictional Sports Athletes ever against one another. Rocky, Teen Wolf, Icebox, and Wild Thing all look forward to your votes

Until then, remember to follow our blog, follow us on Twitter, and like us on Facebook!

Best Athlete Ever - Finals

No surprises here. The top two overall seeds have advanced to the final round of the Best Athlete Ever bracket. Michael Jordan vs. Muhammad Ali. No upsets here - just arguably the two most dominant athletes ever. Now it's up to you to decide which one was better. And no, you can't pick both.

Best Athlete Ever - Final Four

Finally, down to the Final Four. There might not have been any major upsets coming into the Final Four, but the matchups sure are epic. Jordan vs Gretzky and Ali vs Rice. Can't get much better than that. Rice narrowly edged out Peyton Manning in the Elite Eight, and advanced as perhaps the top football player. Jordan's streak of perfection was finally broken by one vote. Ali and Gretzky both dominated as Babe Ruth and Bill Russell fell. Any way you slice it, we have four of the greatest athletes ever vying for your votes.

Best Athlete Ever - Elite Eight

Epic matchups abound in the Elite Eight of our Best Athlete Ever bracket. This is where the voting becomes difficult and the pretenders are separated from the contenders. Walter Payton managed to make the Elite Eight despite the 10 seed attached to his name, but he now runs into the Michael Jordan buzzsaw. MJ still hasn't had a vote cast against him (I guess we chose the right number one overall) and he looks to continue that dominance. The other matchups almost seem too close to call, but eventually someone will have to advance. The choice is yours!

Best Athlete Bracket



Same instructions as always: pick one athlete from each pair based on whatever criteria you like to determine who was the better athlete. After selecting one of each, scroll to the right within the survey box and select "finished." Enjoy!

Best Athlete Ever - Sweet 16

Here we are - the Sweet 16. According to you, these are the 16 best athletes ever, and we are about to cut them down to eight. Thanks to wins by Dan Marino and Walter Payton, we are guaranteed to have a double digit seed in our Elite Eight. The 2 seeds are starting to show weakness as Pele was upset and Tiger Woods and Michael Phelps had close calls before finally advancing.

Some huge matchups remain in the Sweet 16 however. Can Michael Jordan continue his utter dominance of the bracket, having yet to have a single vote cast against him? Can Deion Sanders continue his run through the bracket against Babe Ruth? We have two cultural icons facing off (Muhammad Ali and Jesse Owens) as well as the two most decorated athletes of their respective sports competing against one another (Bill Russell and Michael Phelps). Should be an interesting round!
