Basically...Muhammed Ali is a badass.
I found it funny that McMahon said he is, not by her opinion solely, but is the greatest athelete of our time. I found it funny because even though I could easily argue and disagree with her, i agreed. There are plenty of athletes that are technically "better" than him, but as We Were Kings said generations from now, people will still know the story of Muhammed Ali. He made such an impact that it is impossible to ignore.
I wrote about him for my high school application essay. I said that I found him to be a hero of mine. Can he truly be my hero if there was no interaction? I find him admirable and I am amazed by him.
So my question is: Is Ali the greatest? Can one athlete be considered the greatest over all others even in other sports?
Ali's answer would probably be Yes.

I think to be the greatest you have to KNOW you are the greatest... Ali knew that he was the greatest because he was the underdog and smaller, slower, and "technically" not the best boxer statistically. I think he can be a hero because we admire him
