The Wall Street Journal ranks the greatest athletes:
We gave the performance stats and achievement records of 79 male athletes to a panel of 5 judges, and asked them to rank the competitors based on six criteria: speed; vision and reflex; stamina and recovery; coordination and flexibility; power, strength and size; and success and competitiveness. The final category examined success—records held and victories—as well as competitiveness, based on the sport’s popularity.
Sidney Crosby made the list at #6.
Update 1:53pm ET: Joe Dumas at Off Wing Opinion takes a closer look at how WSJ measured their choice.

Pointless article..of course the decathlete is the best “athlete”. But let’s see how well each of them can play the other guys’ sport. I’m sure Crosby is a better basketball player than Lebron is a hockey player. Can Lebron play golf or tennis? Probably not. Or are they looking for a big guy that can run fast? Pointless......

I actually agree with everyone who is ahead of Crosby.
