He literally changed the geometry of basketball.
No individual has had a bigger impact on the physical game of basketball since Wilt because they changed all the rules to make it harder for Wilt.

@Scott Katusiime lmao how did he not he was the first winger to score over 20 goals the. 30 goals a season wingers used to just cross the ball until Ronaldo changed the game

@Jacko Bai It is true that Ronaldo had a role in popularising the cut-in style by wingers but it is wrong to say it was he that started it because we had others like Arjen Robben do it a lot and very successfully before him. It was literally Robbenโs trade mark

I think Serena Williams is the current athlete with most impact on sport, I love her most she never give up. She keep strive for greatness.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the only correct answer. Unfortunately Americans canโt comprehend football.

This show doesnโt talk about soccer so this shouldnโt be a discussion when it comes to the most impactful athlete
