So I would say both those two would be the best players I have ever watched.

I think the bolded is one thing that separates the best from the rest.
I've only seen two athletes do that in person. One was Iggy, who could take over a game nearly at will.
The other was LeBron James. We saw a game in Miami, and the heat were down until LeBron took a foul he objected to. He proceeded to take over the court and basically singlehandedly ran roughshod over a full NBA team.
