Ali was my first and only true hero, Since then heros dont stand up to the test of time, like Ali has, and only Ali.
Most athletes are steroid users and thugs, abusers of everything, drug taking , no drivers licencse having,dope smoking gamblers,whoremongering unfaithfull dog killing wife beaters, no tax paying chaufer shotgunning liars.
I know I'm jaded now and I don't call anybody a hero, even if they may deserve it. There have been a very few that could possibly make the list. Muhammed Ali will always be on top of the short list of true sports Heros.

Lets name a few.

Clyde Drexler..., I'm running outa names, You name some.

When I was child I was always told that Ali was a coward and a criminal for not going into the draft.

Now I find that it's not about cowardice, or religion. It was about liberty and the right to be free. The Draft is diametrically opposed to liberty, although found to be well within the right of the government.

It's not like forcing you to have health care, or forcing you to take the census. The draft is conscription.

A Patriot if you ask me.

Man, did Will Smith ever do a good job capturing him. I recently saw "I am Bruce Lee", and Bruce watched films of Ali's fights over and again to help develop footwork when he invented Jeet Kune Do.
