The best athletes of all-time

I was watching ESPN this morning and in the wake of the magic Michael Phelps is performing in Beijing these days, the hosts were discussing where he ranks with the greatest athletes of all-time.

Then they began to discuss what defines an athlete since one of their first selections was Babe Ruth and then they pointed out the Babe wasn't much of an athlete as he was a sport-changing player.

It made for an interesting discussion.

So I ask you guys, who would you rank as your top five all-time greatest athletes? Where would you rank a Michael Jordan? Jesse Owens? Carl Lewis? Michael Phelps? Jim Brown? Bruce Jenner? Babe Ruth to name a few?

Let me know, I'd really be interested in seeing what you guys deem as an athlete.
