Luis Suarez is the ultimate anti-hero of football. You love him or you hate him, but you can't ignore him. He is a maverick like Eric Cantona and Paolo Di Canio. He divides opinion, but even his biggest critics would concede that he's hell of a footballer.
Comparing him with the greats of his time, he is yet to attain the iconic status that the likes of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo enjoy. However, on the field, there is nothing which Messi and Ronaldo can do that Suarez can't.
On April 20, 2016, the Uruguayan produced one of the greatest performances of all time in La Liga.

After winning a fifth Ballon d'Or, Messi named Suarez as the world's best out-and-out forward player.
"It is difficult to compare him to all the ones (goal scorers) I have played alongside. There have been so many. What I can say is that he is the best out-and-out forward there is in the game today. He has so much to offer the team and it is a pleasure to play alongside him. We also have a very good relationship off the pitch and I am very happy to be sharing everything with him," Messi said.
When the Argentine was injured during the initial months of the 2015-16 season, Suarez carried the team on his
He had many a very successful career and been awarded with many awards and honor. All the awards and honor that was given to him was because he won races like clasica de san sebastian, best male athlete aspy three years in a row, kids choice award for favorite athlete. But all of this honor and awards that was given to him was not deserved. Cause he had to cheat his way into glory and honor by doping to be the best. I don't think he deserves any of these awards because he cheated his way to the top when other athletes tried and didn't

It looked like Rodriguez would go down in baseball history as one of the game's most prolific offensive players. In 2010, he became the seventh player in Major League history to hit 600 career home runs.

“But to be the best, you must face the best. And to overcome your fear, you must deal with the best.” Barry Bonds was determined to be the best player in Major League Baseball, and with that mindset, he has smashed multiple records.
In 2005 he was second in the National League in hits with 198, and batted .323 with 33 home runs, 43 doubles, two triples, and 116 RBIs. He was voted to his second consecutive All-Star Game along with teammates Paul Lo Duca and Dontrelle Willis, and won his first Silver Slugger Award. His 33 home runs made him the youngest player in Major League Baseball history with back-to-back 30 homer seasons, at 22 years, 143 days. Albert Pujols did it at 22 years, 223 days. Cabrera also became the first Marlin in history to hit at least 30 home runs and drive in at least 100 runs in back-to-back seasons.[citation needed]
Ricardo Kaka, renowned AC Milan/Real Madrid player and native Brazilian, he is one of the most openly religious players in soccer and has contributed much of his personal funds to founding churches and supporting charities. Furthermore, Ricardo Kaka demonstrates a level of humility not often seen in the sporting world especially at the level he has competed at and the awards that he has received. After receiving the Ballon D’Or, the highest individual award in soccer, in 2007 (the last player to do so since the Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo winning streak) he attributed the skills
Thus giving my family’s native country, Mexico a new face, Javier Hernandez or commonly known as Chicharito. Regarded as an upcoming prodigy due to his father’s prior success in the game Chicharito was destined for glory and was heavily welcomed. Although short lived, Chicharito was shrouded with harsh criticism and negativity as poor form and failing success in the beautiful game overshadowed his launch as the “Little Pea”. Who till this day is often overlooked and is an overall underrated player due to prior form and his father’s success outweighing his progress.

He’ll always be welcomed in Toronto with open arms, and he’ll always be remembered for that game five bat
When I was growing up all I did was watch basketball. My two favorite players at that time were LeBron James, and Kobe Bean Bryant. I always thought LeBron was so much better then Kobe, but others may think otherwise. LeBron is just a better overall player, but Kobe is a close second to LeBron. They both play big roles on their basketball teams, and have a lot of responsibility to. Some people might say Kobe is better than LeBron because of all the awards he has won. LeBron and Kobe each have a unique game, but LeBron is just capable of so much more because of his size and speed. Kobe has that back in the day basketball mentality, but it is really effective for him.
