For me, it has to be:
Lemieux
Jagr
Crosby
Polamalu
All are first-ballot Hall of Famers and were the best in their sport at one point or another. I sided with Troy over Big Ben because A) he won DPOY, B) had more All-Pro selections than Ben, and C) was on the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team. I also considered Cutch and Watt, but neither have won any championships.
