2. I said Deon because I think he was the most successful two sport athlete, and the question is who was the best athlete to play any of the four sports, not each ;)
  
  For hockey I think Mario Lemieux was better than Gretzky. If you compare Gretzky and Lemieux during their peaks, their numbers are very comparable. The only difference is Gretzky scored a lot of his points when goalies were not as great, and defence was not as developed.
