This poll is based on the current one at ESPN.
You can select up to 5 options.

Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, George Halas, Gale Sayers and Ernie Banks.
Hard to narrow it down to 5 cause there are many worthy names in there.

WRONG! well, it is only the top 5 for the first class and then they are apparently going to do another vote later I just brought the polls over here because I thought it would be good discussion. |

Oh quite. The discussion is a very good one.
I think Jordan and Sweetness were the two easiest. MJ redefined the NBA and took not just the Bulls but the entire sport to a new level. Walter Payton is now the second leading rusher in the history of the NFL but for a good 15-20 year stretch, he was the leading rusher of all time.
The other three could be interchangeable but I would be hard-pressed not to but Papa Bear in the first 5. I mean, he's Papa Bear. Without him, we don't ever have ... Da Bears!

Payton, Jordan and Papa are the easiest. But then...holy crap. Just throw darts at that point!! Although, I must say that Pippen is the easiest for me to leave off. |

Banks, Ditka, Jordan, Payton, and Hull. Walter Payton is now the second leading rusher in the history of the NFL but for a good 15-20 year stretch, he was the leading rusher of all time. As far as I'm concerned the leading rushers of all-time are still Payton and Sanders. To me Smith is overrated and the beneficiary of circumstances that could have led to about 8-10 other players from that era having similar statistics. ---BUT, that's getting sidetracked and is probably a discussion for a different thread. Suffice to say, I pick Walter Payton for the Chicago HOF. |
