We as men have always looked up to the professional athlete like they were a god like species above ourselves. Here are the top 10 athletes that I think we all have dreamed of trading sneakers (or cleats) with.

Rank Name

1

Michael Jordan

The guy had a theme song about being like him. Need I say more?
2

Babe Ruth

The Great Bambino, and all the other names they called him in The Sandlot, is truly a legend and an icon in American sports. What baseball loving kid wouldn't grow up wanting to be him?
3

Muhammad Ali

The bravado, the attitude, the good looks. One of the best who ever did it. What guy hasn't dreamed of being Ali?
4

Derek Jeter

Can you even watch a Yankees game without the camera holding on Jeter for less than ten minutes at a time? He's a stud and he brings personality to the game.
5

Dan Marino

No doubt Marino is one of the best quarterbacks we've ever seen. He bowed out gracefully in his career, unlike some players who would have been in his category, and he still seems cool enough to actually hang out with.
6

The Rock

More of a movie star than an athlete at this point, Dwayne Johnson crosses mediums and is super cool no matter what stage he's on.
7

Oscar de la Hoya

Although he talks with sort of a girly high pitched voice, The Golden Boy is the only boxer who could take hits to the face for years and years, and still look like a model.
8

Tiger Woods

At one point he may have just been fun to watch. But with the yachts, super-modelesque girlfriends, and love triangles, Tiger is one lucky son of a gun.
9

Barry Sanders

The torch went out far too early for Barry, and every football player I know wishes they were as quick as him. Too bad it couldn't last.
10

Allen Iverson

Although he certainly isn't anyone to look up to, his rugged good looks and bad attitude towards basically everyone made every kid in my neighborhood want to be AI.
