Has any other sportsman been SO dominant in his chosen sport? No.

Pele, no.
Gretzky, no.
Jordan, no.

Bradman is the greatest. EFT.

I don't think "far" more dominant

Bradman averaged more than 50% higher than his closest rivals - that is, he was worth 1.5x the *next best player* who was already off the charts good.

Jahangir Khan won the same number of titles as Jansher.

"The Jansher-Jahangir rivalry would dominate squash in the late-1980s through to the early-1990s. The pair met total of 37 times in tournament play. Jansher won 19 matches (74 games and 1,426 points), and Jahangir 18 matches (79 games and 1,459 points). This record doesn't include exhibition matches and league matches between them."

So, if Jahangir wasn't even much better than the 2nd best, how can you say he was as superior as Don Bradman?

A five and a half YEAR unbeaten Streak.




Bradman sucked ass as a bowler and you have to look at the complete package.... sure he may be the Greatest Batsman of all time but not 'player'.

You could argue George Lohmann was equally if not more dominant in his chosen sport than Bradman.
