My favorite athlete of all time hands down is Michael Jordan. Noone has or will ever come close to his skills and charisma.

I think that is a great question. I would have to say Richard Petty because he would always try to spend time with the fans when signing autographs. He understood that without the fans there would be no sport. I also met Bernard King when I was young when he was a rookie for the Nets and I liked him.

That's hard to say. I'm a huge NY sports fan so I'll say either Derek Jeter or Eli Manning.

That's easy.  My favorite athlete of all time is Joe Montana. Nicknamed Joe Cool - the master of late-game comebacks and a WINNER. My Super Bowl hero!!!

I grew up a Kansas City Royals fan and George Brett was always my favorite player.

I think that Roger Federer is way up there.  He is gracious, a good sport and paparazzi proof because he leads a good and clean life.  I spoke to a Nike executive after the Tiger Wood's debacle.  I had felt that Tiger Woods was someone that had lead a good clean life and asked the executive if there was any athlete that was good and clean.  The executive said that Tiger's history was known well before it blew up but that Roger Federer and Raphael Nada were absolute gems.  Federer knocked on the door of the Nike Press booth and asked permission to watch a match.  He said that Tiger//Jordan would demand those things.

Venus and Serena Williams - the tennis sisters. They came from the tough streets of Compton to become one of the best players in Tennis.

A famous athlete is related to me but I'm not dropping names, so I'll have to go with Michael Jordan.

I would have to say my favorite athlete is Michael Jordan.  He not only did well with the sport he played but also has done a fantastic job on investing his money.   ;)
