    Who are your sports idols/heros?

    I have two...Edgar Martinez because he's played for the Mariners his entire career, he came into the bigs as a subpar hitter actually known for his fielding but he is now one of the best Designated Hitters in the history of the game and IMO deserving of the Hall of Fame. Not only is he a tremendous hitter but he is active in the community and donates to his home of Puerto Rico.

    Second is Steve McNair, he is the true epitome of what a football player should be. He is a leader, plays through any injury he is laden with, and he is of course the MVP of the NFL along with Peyton Manning. If he cant make a play with his arm, he makes it with his legs, if he cant make a play with his legs, he makes it with his arm.

    Michael Jordan, I grew up idolizing him and his greatness, I was heartbroken when he was playing baseball, I almost lost my love for him.

    Michael truely is the Greatest of all Time (GOAT) in the NBA, nobody will ever reach his standards in my opinion, he is just to outstanding.

    Michael Jordan is my idol and also the greatest NBA player of all time. I plan to go to the NBA and show everyone who will be better than Michael Jordan
