Who is your favorite professional athlete?  My favorite of all time is Jerry Rice or Eric Lindros

My favorite athlete right now is Russel Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks. He is very humble and I like his leadership skills. The only quarterback in the history of the game who earned a ring on his second season. I could be wrong maybe there are other quarterbacks in previous years who have achieved the same goal but that is something impressive.

My favorite professional athlete is Michael Jordan.  I love the way he has invested his money and plans for the future.  He gives back to the community and is an all time great when it comes to basketball.  :)

My favorite professional athlete is Joe Montana.  He was humble, kept his cool under pressure and a winner in every sense of the word.

That's tough for me to choose one. But for the sake of this thread I'll randomly select just one from the many that I am fond of. Okay.... Andrés Iniesta. He's such a good guy on and off the pitch, real class he is. I really enjoy watching him play, such a joy to watch. He just about never has a bad game, he's so brilliant in the way he plays and how he moves.

MJ is awesome! He went to the university I attend!

This is the internet, learn to let people have opinions. And don't be so sensitive.  8)

I would have to say Tennis player Rodger Federer. He never loses his temper on the court and has accomplished so much. He took time away from the circuit to be with his wife while she was having their baby.  One of my friends is a VP with Nike and, when the Tiger Woods debacle went down, I asked him if there were any clean athletes out there.  He said, with out missing a beat, Rodger Federer. My friend gave an example of how Roger went to the VIP Nike booth, knocked softly  and asked if he could join them to watch one of his upcoming opponents.  My friend said that he had never been asked so nicely and said Federer, while being one of the best athletes around, is also humble.
