The Great Debate
The Universal Greatness Index
By Scott Blaise
Who deserves to be called the greatest—and how can we compare them fairly?
From unforgettable champions to disputed contenders, Scott Blaise examines greatness across eleven sports. The Universal Greatness Index gives readers a framework for weighing achievement, dominance, longevity and influence, while making room for the disagreements that keep sport alive.
This expanded edition develops the athlete comparisons, era differences, tie rules and weighting choices behind the rankings. New discussions explore omitted contenders and the relationship between competitive achievement and ethical greatness. Reader scorecards invite you to build—and defend—your own assessment.
