Top 10 Greatest Fictional Athletes of All Time
Everybody knows - and after a few beers will admit - that sports fans will argue about anything. Especially after a few beers. And one of the most often heard "discussions" among sports junkies is, who is the greatest movie or TV athlete of all time?
In sports fiction, from baseball to football to martial arts to arm wrestling, the most common plot is the underdog-succeeds-against-all-odds tale. What makes them stand out is a combination of personality, humanity and a never-say-die attitude, all topped off with amazing athletic ability.
