I think Tiger and Jordan are both amazing athletes and I'm happy to have seen Jordan play and to currently see Tiger. But I find it a bit hard to compare someone who plays in an individual sport with someone who plays in a team sport.
I think right now Tiger is the best active athlete...unless you include Roger Federer in the discussion. Then it gets a bit more interesting

True, it is hard to compare individual sport vs team sport. I think I'm looking at the complete body of work. I agree if Federer enters, it's more interesting.
