Who is more dominant in their sport: Ohtani, McDavid or Mahomes?

It is just one game. Sam Gagner had an 8 point night one time. When you go on his whole season, it looks quite normal when stacking against greatest seasons of all time. He has ~.300 OBP compared to like bonds who had ~.600 in his best seasons. He isn't going to break RBI records or home run records. I would say those are the most important stats for evaluating a player objectively.

He ain't gonna break any home run records because he came over late.

He's the most dominant athlete ever. No one has done what he's done.

Is this poll about who has won the most championships?

The greatest define themselves by championships. You might not, but they do. That’s how they compare themselves to the other greats in their sports. McDavid has no championships. Imo he ranks himself lower than the other greats who have led their clubs to championships. Same for Ohtani and all the greats.
The greats are the best. They separate Themselves into tiers by championships. That’s how they think.

He literally does it all. He can be your #1 ace, the best hitter in the league, and all while swiping 50 bases. Insane.

The one knock is that he doesn't play the field. But I bet he could, just makes sense to keep him out of harms way at DH.

That would be an extremely reductive and shallow argument if this discussion was with regards to players in the same sport. When discussing players in different sports, I'd wager it's wilfully ignorant.

Ohtani might be the greatest all-around baseball player of a time. Neither McDavid or Mahomes are on that trajectory.

By this I assume you mean the best pitcher/hitter? There have been quite a few better position players...

Blows my f***ing mind Mahomes is 3rd in this poll.

NFL QB is by far the hardest position in all of pro sports. At least in team pro sports. On every given down you have nearly 11,000lbs of lineman trying to put you down. You have to read a defense in less time than it takes to flush a toilet. Then you have to have the athleticism to actually hit your moving target with this ball accurately from sometimes 50-60yds away. This guy makes it look like he's dicking around at the park with his buddies. He's actually won the whole thing with his team three times now which is the penultimate goal of participating.

I don't even like the guy all that much and but he clears Shohei and McD easily.

An award voted on by players never holds merit, they play too many games to follow the league in a meaningful way and just go based on their matchups with them. They are also the most likely to allow bias to affect their vote, and their vote is held to the least scrutiny.

As opposed to the so called journalists like Staples who have no clue, or that guy who voted Draisaitl for the Selke, or that Montreal jackass who left the Art Ross and Rocket winner off his Hart ballot so his local guy could win?
I'll take the players choice thanks.
