My 2nd favorite stat(right after taking away all his goals he'd still be points leader) is that hes the fastest to 1000 points at 424 games, he's technically also the 2nd fastest at 434 games from 1000 to 2000 points

Gretzky completely changed the sport on ice and off - his impact was enormous. This is why he is the greatest sports person ever.

I don't want to make it seem like I'm diminishing Gretzky's accomplishments, but he also played in an era where defensive systems weren't anywhere as developed as they are now, and most players wouldn't play him as physically as they would others. Mario Lemieux I think was just as good in a scoring sense, if not better (not as good at assists, though), but his lymphoma and back issues kept him from racking up stats like Gretzky. I think McDavid is more talented, but the way the game is played is different now, plus McDavid needs another decade plus at his level and getting his name on the Cup a time or two before he's fully in the argument. Bedard... could make it to that kind of level, but similar was said about Crosby and he's still rated by most behind the "top 2" mentioned above.

It is true, his numbers are simply out of reach, not sure if any other pro athlete even comes close to the level of dominance

Gretsky is the Einstein of hockey. They are so far above everyone else that everything that comes after them builds off of their work.

Gretzky showed the power of pure offence in hockey. His ability to score goals, and more importantly, to set up his teammates to score goals, is unmatched. It's like he could generate offence at will. A singular talent.

Not really comparable to Don Bradman but very impressive anyway.

At the beginning, the voice says he doesn't watch hockey, or know anything about it. He is right! Maybe he should do a video about gardening. Just no more hockey! The voice says there was nothing exceptional about Gretzky. Everything about Wayne Gretzky was exceptional!

I can live in Costco! They have beds and sheds and pillows and blankets and food!

I go to my Costco about 3-4 times a year only, and I hate it every time because of the people who treat it as some sort day out activity. It's in Mexico so the product assortment is much more unique than other stores, and I have a chest freezer I fill up with a bunch of freezer goods, but it's getting less and less attractive to devote a weekday morning to avoid the crowds just to go.

My ex bought a casket at Costco.

Go to Costco because it’s for the middle-class and it’s the best place to avoid minorities

lol, crates of kitkats and kettlecorn. I've had a costco membership for years and so did my mom and grandma before her. The place has a learning curve that's for sure and I'm sure every new membership holders wallet is stricken with fear the first time they walk in. That being said if you can just focus on the essentials you'll be fine. You don't need an executive membership and you definitely don't need to walk down every damn isle every time you enter the store. Judging from the peoples carts around me when I'm shopping there not everyone learns so quickly haha

Damm this hits hard, I spend so much there on food and have to rush to eat it all before it goes bad. I never leave there without spending 200

I have had my membership for 1 year now and never ever have we left that damn place without spending less than $400. It's very easy to shop at Walmart for $100-120 but never less than 400 at Costco. Won't be renewing the membership next month.

Stan Lee was a writer, publisher, editor and producer, not an illustrator. He wasn’t “alright at drawing comic books”, as you say, because he never did so. Ffs

1:06 not true. There's Lemieux

maybe only Euler comes close

Retiring 99 on the NHL remains stupid. It always seemed like the NHL's feeble and tonedeaf response to the MLB retiring 42. I say this as someone who grew up idolozing Gretzky and still have a soft spot for him in my heart today

I grew up watching Gretzky and I can tell you I thought many other players were greater than him. They were faster, had a better wrist shot, were stronger. Gretzky wasn’t exciting to watch. But here’s the thing with Gretzky : when the game was over and his team had won, you would notice quietly that he had five assists.

this vid is gonna have a lot of views

As a Canadian, I feel ashamed i have to watch this to catch up

The only player to ever come close to The Great one’s goals record is Ovechkin.

The biggest travesty in hockey is how his game in not studied extensively. It’s not the skill set or physical attributes that made him the best but the way he saw the game. This is something u can teach to anyone. When u can think faster than anyone else, ur faster than any one else. But everyone wants to work on skill

Crazy how, on that same list, is Mario Lemieux, who averaged 1.88 PPG; almost as high as Gretzky, but with vastly less points. His “What If” is one of my favorites in sports. He very well could have been right up there in the GOAT conversation, but the fact that we don’t know for sure means that it goes to Gretzky

The tallest recorded person in the world was 8’11”. 1/3 less than that is just under 5’9”. 6’8” is only 25% less. Less than 4 minutes into this video, and you’ve been wrong at least twice. Opinions are hard to believe when you’re caught lying.

Stan Lee was not “all right” at drawing comic books. He was a bad artist.

He played a ton of ice time. He was amazingly athletically gifted but as an endurance athlete, so he could spend a ton of time out on the ice. That's not as flashy as watching Connor McDavid or Sergei Fedorov skate up & down the ice with their jersey's flowing - but he's still athletically a remarkable specimen. Today we'd call that a high aerobic capacity or Zone 1/2 endurance rather than sprinter

‘ Stan Lee was pretty good at drawing comics’ !!!???? He wrote comic books for much of the 1960s. He never drew comics.

I mean this concept is confusing. Why would someone who doesn’t watch hockey be a good source to tell another person who doesn’t watch hockey why the perceived best player is indeed the best? It stands to reason the concept would lend itself to a less than effective case. Case in point: covert art with Wayne wearing the ole rangers tarp. Wouldn’t it make sense for a Flames fan to make this if you wanted to add an interesting element or a die hard fan’s guide for a casual ?

Stan Lee didn’t draw comics. “That’s like if the second tallest person in the world was 6’8” next to the first tallest person” So how tall is the tallest person in this scenario? This part of the video makes like 0 sense. Not even sure if what you said is a complete thought. “Wayne Gretzky… wasn’t even the most talented player in general” this is an insanely bold claim for anyone to make but especially for someone who 30 seconds earlier admitted they don’t really know hockey. Also the whole “Gretzky believed teams were too focused on the individual star players” thing doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and I’m pretty sure you are just making that up for a narrative. Would love to hear a source if I’m wrong. Not trying to hate on you but for a 3 minute video this just gets way too much wrong. the world has enough poorly made and misleading content out there, don’t need to add to it

Gretzky and Don Bradman are the two biggest outliers in sports. The two of them are so far beyond everyone else it's not fair.

Great vid dude!! Very well done. Keep going!

Bro said Isacc Newton was alright at doing physics. Cute 😂😂

"You score a goal on every shot you take" was my fav quote from him

Bobby Orr is the goat

Dude, Isaac Newton INVENTED physics 😂

Let's keep Ice Hockey aside, Wayne Gretzky is among the greatest players in Hockey history. Me being an Indian, never came across Ice Hockey till i started watching western sports media. For me and hundreds of millions of south Asians, we know or have known only field hockey.

Ughhh, that Stan Lee comment was so wrong and dumb it ruined everything.

Surprised this hasn't got more views, it was the first thing that came up while looking for an answer

This doesn't...realllllly tell what he was doing differently. I get that he was "more crafty" and "more of a team player" but like...what crafty things? What types of plays did he run through? Etc. etc. As a non-hockey fan I didn't walk away knowing much more about this guy than I did before

Shakespeare wore an earring?! 🤯

It’s kinda wild that guys like Wayne Gretzky, LeBron James, and Jerry Rice are just going to hold their records forever because they came into the NHL, NBA, and NFL and were dominate for 15+ years.

Only thing this video misses is Lemieux scores almost the same number of PPG and gets cancer in the middle of his career and comes back from it twice.

Doesn’t come close to Donald Bradman at cricket

Stan Lee didn't draw. He wrote.

He could see into the future, like a chess grandmaster thinking 10 moves ahead

There is a sportsman who matches or exceeds Gretsky in dominating his sport. Check out lifetime batting averages in cricket. The greatest players of your era usually average high 50s. The greatest of any era average low 60s. Don Bradman averaged 99.94.

Mario Lemieux is pretty close with 1,88 PPG versus Gretzkys 1,92. Dont get me wrong, WG is goated, but he is not as dominant as Phelps in swimming is or Simone Biles who is the most decorated gymnast in history being 27 years old and having 2 year absence

Bradman is statistically superior.
