During the Afternoon show Tyrone, Jenn, and Connor played a fun game with listeners. The “GOAT” draft.  The criteria is simple. Pick a team compiled of the “Greatest of All Time.” The listeners got the first pick in the draft so the afternoon show was behind the 8-ball.

Listeners Greatest of All Time List

Here is the afternoon shows list!

  • 1) Michael Jordan

    Michael Jordan was chosen by Tyrone.

    Lebron went #1 which made this an easy choice for Tyrone.

  • 2) Michael Phelps

    Michael Phelps was chosen by Jen.

    Michael Phelps is probably the greatest, most dominant Olympic athlete ever.

  • 3) Muhammed Ali

    Muhammed Ali was chosen by Connor.

    Ali is considered by many to be the best boxer of all time.

  • 4) Wayne Gretzky

    Wayne Gretzky was chosen by Tyrone.

    Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player ever and to get him at pick 9 is a steal

  • 5) Tom Brady

    Tom Brady was chosen by Jen.

    The QB GOAT.

  • 6) Usain Bolt

    Usain Bolt was chosen by Connor.

    Not many would argue if you said Usain Bolt was the most dominant track and field star ever.

  • 7) Jim Brown

    Jim Brown was chosen by Tyrone. 

    Jim Brown at pick 15?! The guy was a dominant force in football, basketball and lacrosse and basically dominated any sport he played.

  • 8) Pele

    Pele was chosen by Jen.

    Pele introduced a lot of people to the sport of soccer. A truly dominant force and one of the best to ever play.

  • 9) Carl Lewis

    Carl Lewis was chosen by Connor.

    9 Gold Medals…..NINE.

  • 10) Willie Mays

    Willie Mays was chosen by Tyrone.

    I know Tyrone thinks Willie Mays is the best baseball player EVER so to get him at pick 21 is incredible value.

  • 11) Wilt Chamberlain

    Wilt Chamberlain was chosen by Jen.

    The fact that the listeners let Wilt drop to pick 23 is insane.

  • 12) Roger Federer

    Roger Federer was chosen by Connor.

    Roger is certainly in GOAT status with tennis. A sport he has dominated.

  • 13) Babe Ruth

    Babe Ruth was chosen by Tyrone.

    HOW DID HE LAST TO PICK 27?!

  • 14) Jackie-Joyner Kersee

    Jackie-Joyner Kersee was chosen by Jen. 

    JJK might be the greatest female track and field star ever.

  • 15) Jackie Robinson

    Jackie Robinson was chosen by Connor.

    Jackie Robinson wasnt just a stud baseball player. In fact, many experts said baseball was his WORST sport and tennis was actually his best sport. He was a stand out track and field star at UCLA and also a football player as well as basketball. An athletic freak.

  • 16) Kareem-Abdul Jabbar

    Kareem-Abdul Jabbar was chosen by Tyrone.

    Most points in NBA history.

  • 17) Martina Navratilova

    Martina Navratilova was chosen by Jen.

    What a BUST OUT but also a STEAL at pick 35. shes not the greatest female tennis player ever but shes absolutely in the conversation.

    Jack Nicklaus was chosen by Connor.

    An absolute legend in golf and someone who has a case as “The Greatest Golfer of All Time.”

  • 19) Sugar Ray Robinson

    Sugar Ray Robinson was chosen by Tyrone.

    Sugar Ray Robinson had 174 wins and 109 of those was by knockout. Thats insane.

  • 20) Magic Johnson

    Magic Johnson was chosen by Jen.

    The greatest point guard to ever live.
