Who is the greatest athlete in American history?

Who is the greatest athlete in American sports history?

Was it indeed Lance Armstrong, as some suggested in the wake of his seventh straight Tour de France championship? Was it Jackie Robinson, the Hall of Fame baseball player who also won an NCAA long jump title, was a two-time Pac-10 scoring champ in basketball and an All-America running back at UCLA?Was it multi-sport stars like Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders? A decathlete like Bruce Jenner? Single-sport specialists like Mark Spitz or Carl Lewis?Just who should lay claim to such a terrific title?

These dozens of greats would be lined up and told they were going to be selected to compete in a random sports competition to be drawn from a hat - anything from cycling, running, football, golf, boxing, basketball, swimming, mountain climbing, obstacle course, kayaking, triathlon, kick the can, etc.

Now, you have a chance to win $1 million if you pick the one athlete who wins that random competition. Who would you select?
