Got to thinking about this after having a discussion about the greatness that is Stockton and Malone. Here's who I thought were the greatest off the top of my head but there are many others worth mentioning:

MLB - Ted Williams
NFL - Dan Marino
NBA - Stockton/Malone (impossible to separate the two)
NHL - Don't care

Patrick Ewing.

if we're counting racecar drivers:

Stirling Moss (early F1 driver)
Mark Martin (NASCAR)
Helio Castroneves (Indycar)
Mario Andretti (Le Mans)

re Dibiase, it's amazing to me that Roddy Piper never won the main title wherever he was at
