    It says this list is for basketball related only. Otherwise you would definately figure to see Tiger Woods, and the Williams sisters on here.

    I'm surprised John Thompson, Lenny Wilkens, & Bill Russell are not on the list.

    The fact that he is the first majority owner that is black in the NBA's history says a whole lot...I don't think there is a problem if he is at number one...Tiger Woods is at 2 and Serena Williams is 3...

    The whole list has many other athletes. He only put the ones that had to do with basketball in it.

    Im very surprised that Robert Johnson is number one. I would think MJ or Tiger would be number one.
