Is Michael Jordan the greatest ATHLETE ever?

Just think about it. When ppl talk about greatness, what name is used the most? MJ. Jay-Z says he's the "Mike Jordan of recording." How often does anyone say, I'm the Tiger Woods of... or I'm the Wayne Gretzky of... or Babe Ruth of.... Those are great athletes but Jordan's name is synonymous with being the best, and 11 years after his retirement people still talk about him like he's playing what do you think?
