I have to say I agree with Jod.
Jordan, Ali, Pele... these are huge international personalities brought forth due to their unbelievable sporting abilities.
Bradman, Gretzky etc. while arguably having being legendary in their own right through statistical achievements, are not at the heroic level that the aforementioned names are. It's not about that unmatched nature of their stats, its about their symbolic status - their image as super-humans and tales of rising through the ranks which gives them such aura.
At least someone see's the light.
