Jones I can see, but Tyson not so much. Just different styles, I guess.

Jones' highlights have more in common with guys like Jordan and Sanders in that they all had an almost unnatural control over their own bodies, making their crafts look less like a sport and more like an art form.

That's not to say I don't have respect for what Tyson did, mostly through sheer brute force and tenacity, but personally it's not as awe-inspiring to watch.

But he is still a highlight reel.

No Vince Carter?

Yeah, I think when VC was healthy and in his prime he was the most gifted pure athlete ever in the NBA. He had the built and ability. Extremely strong for his size, top 3 in the NBA, greatest dunker of all time, could run fast and had amazing all around quickness. He had it all, and then some with his unnaturally long arms and big hands.

Barry Sanders:

The greatest football player to ever live. Tell me you don't get chills when "5:10" kicks in. Christ was he fun to watch. He's god the eyes on Lions football fans, myself included.

If you haven't seen this video, I suggest you all watch it.

Yeah I don't even like football but the likes of Sanders and Jackson were amazing to watch.
