| Guys, this isn't a Whos' Best contest. It's a Who's Now contest. Skill in the sport is only part of the equation. Popularity, endorsements, household name status, earnings/winnings are also factors.
Shaq vs. Phelps. Phelps is arguably one of the best swimmers in the world yet his winnings are a fraction of Shaq's earnings and 9/10 people will know who Shaq is, the other 1/10 might know who Phelps is. Shaq is now.
The contest may be silly, but wtf cares? ESPN still has some entertaining to do and this is one of the most boring stretches in the sports year. All we have is baseball talk and pre-season football shit starting 2 months early.
Parker vs. Federer I do agree may be odd.. but that's probably a case of the finals and his wedding being so recent.
