Interesting subject!
Of all these superstars who definately deserve to be called this way my favorite is Phelps. I think he is not “was” a human. It was always exciding watching him wining at the olympics one after another. I still clearly remember him wining this controversial gold I think it was with Russian, they finishe almost the same except Phelps had better reach. I’m a big fan of Ron Paul, he calls for taugh times to come, we shall see. With Gretzky I would include Jagr my favorite hockey player.
Great post!
