Ruth, Mantle, and Jordan transcended not just sports, but society (in a way that I'd argue no one else has).

And it was one person for each generation there. Doesn't seem like anyone has fit that bill since though.

The two current choices would be Lebron or Tom Brady, with Lebron having the edge. But I don't think either is idolized in the same way as those prior guys.

It's interesting how opinions differ. I'd take Brady by a country mile in that debate and I'm certainly no fan of the teams he's been on.

Oh I would too. But I'm referring to the presence and popularity as an icon in the sports world, and I'd say LeBron is above Brady there

Brady is only popular in the USA. LeBron is popular world wide except for Hong Kong. Ali definitely transcended sports, more so than Mantle. Tiger had his chance, but personal issues derailed that.

Brady has about as much personality as a tree stump.
People may dislike LeBron for the stands he takes but at least he’s interesting. Controversy never hurt any celebrity.
Very suprised Ali not a bigger deal. Or even Tyson.
It’s interesting how Pele cards have skyrocketed lately.
Soccer cards exploding. It’s a big world.

Ali in 1996, at the Atlanta Olympics was larger than life, being introduced to a new generation. But due to his health conditions and inability to continue in public, I think his popularity is kind of stunted.

Ok everyone, I am fine with making Ali fourth on my list. Worldwide, he is definitely above Ruth and Mantle. I admit to being the typical american bastard and thinking mostly of the impact here at first.
