I largely agree with you on Messi, actually - I think he is overrated due to the recency bias (many people state he is the GOAT, when he's clearly not). Personally I rank him at 4th place, but you're right that he is probably borderline top 5. Certainly Pele and Maradona are above him, and the case can be made for several others such as Di Stefano, Puskas, Cruyff and Beckenbauer.
However, this is still clearly greater than Novak Djokovic, who ranks only 9th among male tennis players all-time, and is not yet in Tier 1.
For Bolt, I was referring to sprinting only, where is the clear GOAT.
Nadal too.It sure is. It started when Fed won 4 times straight from 2005-2008.
Really don't care if Novak won......Don't worry, when Djokovic retires it will stop.

It's for individual sportspeople, and there aren't a whole lot of international, individual sports for which they'd be likely to give the award and which have a high enough profile internationally.Laureus Award....it turning into a tennis award.

Isnt sprinting a segment of track and field. Similar to how rebound ace or slow hard courts is a segment of tennis. I don't see how Djokovic being the GOAT at the Australian Open or on slow hard courts is any different than Bolt being the sprinting GOAT.
I also rate Djokovic higher than 9th. All time rankings are subjective.
How do you yourself determine if someone is in Tier 1?
I think by most metrics I'd have him there, so I'm curious as to how you would determine it.![]()
Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest players ever and there ain't nothing you can do about that Phoenix. I know that burns you inside boo boo.Borg is the lowest Tier 1 great of the Open Era, and he won 11 slams while playing in a 3-slam per year era. Novak Djokovic has to reach around 13 slams before I'd consider him Tier 1.

The tower closest to river in each lane. Duh!What is a tier 1.
No, because in tennis, the same players compete across all surfaces. It's one sport.
'Track and field' is actually several different sports, which are lumped together under one umbrella level. It makes no sense to say that Bolt and Bubka competed in the same sport.
Yes I know you rank Novak Djokovic higher than 9th - he can't be much higher up than that though, there are several who are surely greater than him.
Congratulations to Lex Luthor and his fans! Well deserved.
And without your consideration, Novak is going to continue to have sleepless nights...Borg is the lowest Tier 1 great of the Open Era, and he won 11 slams while playing in a 3-slam per year era. Novak Djokovic has to reach around 13 slams before I'd consider him Tier 1.
Lex Luthor won the last time in 2008.
Nope. Lex Luthor won it this year for the 3rd time in his career. You should know better as you are one of his fans.
No, you're wrong. I'm a fan of Superman.

An appropriate nickname for Novak Djokovic is not Superman but the Antichrist.
You're wrong that I am a fan of Lex Luthor.
Then why is your avatar that of Lex Luthor?
