If you could be a god in 1 sport....

What would it be
I would choose soccer. It's a lame sport but the fame is world wide. Even in America we know Beckham or Pelé.... Plus I rather pull all the european & central/south American chicks with that fame. The pay isn't as high as baseball/basketball but the effort on playing is just the same. PS: I don't even like soccer
15 National Championships and one Urban Meyer heart attack, Roll Tide. 23 NC's in wrestling and one badass Herky, Go Hawks.

Golf. Millions of dollars, hot women, outside 7 days a week, can be relaxing, can remove stress, country club sport, fun.

I go with soccer as well for mainly the same reasons as FU. Even though the salaries arent as good you can make it up with global advertising money. And I have always wanted to play in a world cup.

Boxing. I know it's a dying sport, but if you're great you can pretty much name your price in each fight. I would probably fight anywhere from 2-4 fights a year for about 35-40 million per fight. Plus endorsements and personal appearances.
My second choice would be golf.
The main reason why I would choose these two sports is because they are individual and you don't have to depend on teammates for help or management surrounding you with a decent supporting cast.

Golf for sure.
Not physically taxing (no long term health problems), outside, ton of fun to play, country club sluts, lots of money, and in warm weather all the time.
Basketball is second.
Ton of money, again no long term health problems most likely, fun as hell.

If you play as hard as Tiger, your knees will be gone. His knees are slowly, but surely decaying.

I'm sure that has nothing to do with all of the navy seal training he did.

Well basketball would be interesting. If someone comes around now and is considered better than Jordan, that would be a pretty fun path to take. You would be winning like 7 Championships and just dominating everyone.
Baseball would be pretty cool also. Out of all the players to play the game there isn't really one that jumps out as the best to ever play. Maybe Willie Mays? To be that one player would be pretty damn amazing.

Baseball. Favorite sport, would love to be the dominating starting pitcher, but they don't play enough, so I would go with shortstop or CF. I would love to be able to do what Matt Kemp is doing, beast mode

IF you were a true god and could get about 9-10 Ks a game you would easily approach close to 10 thousand strikeouts in your career. Plus pitching every 4-5 games you would sell out every game no matter where you played.

No doubt about that, but I am talking about myself, I would prefer to play everyday over every 5th day

Although that is a high amount of Ks for a career no matter how good you are. Maybe 6k

Basketball. I'd love to be able to go out there every night and drop 30+ on anybody at any time.

Disc Golf, if they tournaments actually made decent money. Love the game, not too taxing on the body, get to be outside and play different courses all the time.
But otherwise-football, but I'd want to still be a Left Tackle. That's what I used to play and I loved it.
