The 50 Greatest Sports Athletes of All Time

Basketball icon Michael Jordan has beaten fellow American legend and boxing hero Muhammad Ali to be named the best sports athlete of all time.

And sports fans over at the TheTopTens voted the ex-Chicago Bulls superstar, who won six NBA championships in the 1990s, at the top spot ahead of Ali.
