Your opinion should be most iconic not necessarily the best, I have not searched for those more obscure sports and have just been honest and admitted i know fuck all about them, you can only be classed as iconic if non lovers of that sport have heard about of you.(imho)I reckon the younger you are the more difference there will be compared to us mature posters.

1. Football - Pele
2. Cricket - Don Bradman
3. Basketball - Michael Jordan
4. Field hockey - No one
5. Tennis - John McEnroe

That’s the one.

It was massive in the US for a period. I think it’s declined quite a bit in the past decade though.

I remember the official F1 magazine having a piece on Earnhardt passing away. Like they never ever talked about NASCAR. I don’t think I even knew what NASCAR was until they ran that article.

Also NASCAR was probably the biggest sports news story of the weekend. One of the drivers was caught using the N word in a virtual race...
