How's this one?
Jim Thorpe (may be best athlete of 1st half of 20th century).
Bo Jackson (may be best athlete of 2nd half of 20th century).
Abby Wambach (one of leading female athletes of recent history, inspired millions of girls, and, since LGBT was mentioned in an earlier post, is openly married in a same sex relationship).
Secretariat (sheer dominance that's hard to compare others to).
Also considered Pele, Ali, Jim Brown, Tiger, Wilt, Kareem, Serena, Gretzky, Ruth, Cobb, Aaron, Unitas, Montana, Tyson, MJ, Oscar, Owens, Lewis, Phelps, Jenner, and probably several others.
