Who do you guys think are the best video game athletes of all time?

This could be a cool discussion. What athletes dominated the game they were represented in the most. Instantly a few stick out in my mind:

-Barry Sanders in Gameday '98. You could stiff arm and spin your way down the field with him in the game and he would never get tired. If you didn't get him down at the line, it was almost a big run every time.

-Juan Gonzalez in Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball. That whole Rangers team was stacked in that....Franco, Palmeiro, Pudge but Juan Gone was the beast. Dude was just so freakishly big and could just crush the ball. I remember my bro hit like 80 HR's with him in a season.

-Micheal Vick in Madden NFL 2004. Could throw 60 yards on the money every time and with playmaker you could take out every defender to open the lane for Vick. And of course the speed cheat normally in Madden games didn't apply to him. It was like everybody else was in slow motion.

And the mecca, the king, the granddaddy of them all....

Michael Jordan in Tecmo NBA Basketball.
In Tecmo Basketball there was this weird glitch that if the ball handler was good enough you could never cut the ball handler off. If a defender was next to you, you could just dribble your way to the basket unimpeded. Luckily, if you had MJ this wouldn't matter, because he alone could outscore your entire team. EVERYTHING he shot would go in. He would dunk on everybody(and this is when they had those nasty cutscenes.....you would see those at least 15 times a game with MJ alone). He could steal the ball at a whim and could outrun everybody on the court. Playing my brother, I scored, no BS, 137 points with MJ alone.
