Admittedly there's always recency bias but someone combat this fiery hot take:
Did the 90s not give us the most dominant athletes in sports?
My case: MJ, Gretzky, bonds.. GOATS in their respective,
the plethora of QBs, Kelly, Marino, aikman, Favre, young, moon, elway. Not to mention Jerry rice, the GOAT until TB12 surpassed him.
Lance Armstrong, Pete Sampras, aggasi, Mike Tyson, fat Ronaldo, early toger woods.
At the time almost every sport had a GOAT in the 90s. Some of them are still there.
