I got owned by a video? Right.
People adore Maradona because of his individual action skills. The same reason why people like Ronaldinho and all the other circus players.
It looks nice. Although I'll immediately admit Maradona was easily the best individualist out there, I simply don't rate individualists that highly. The crowd does, however.
And YouTube video's don't mean dick. What I mean with "watching a player play" is to watch him actively, over many seasons, on a consistent basis. And I highly doubt any of us on this board are old enough to have seen old legends play on a regular basis.
I'll put Diego in the top 5, but not top 3.
And there is no best player ever. Not Maradona, not Cruijff, not Pele. They're incomparable.
Fair point, although i totally disagree that he was a circus player because his achievements with Argentina, Boca Juniors and Napoli dont back that up. A player that doesnt play for the team doesnt win. Same applies for Ronaldinho. When i said the video owns you i meant that it proves my point that Maradona was one of the best passers of the ball. As i said before, i watched Maradona alot when i was a kid and i have seen a lot of earlier games. I think himself and Pele were the best. Maradona appeals to me more. But to each his own of course.
I meant to post that before hizzle. interesting.
