My Comment : 드디어 마쳤습니다. 그나마 제일 마지막 등번호들은 NHL 스타들이 있군요.

그 중에서도 역시 레전드 중의 레전드!

웨인 그레츠키가 제일 마지막 번호인 99번을 장식했습니다.
마이클 조던의 설명에 'Any Question?'이 있었던 것 처럼
웨인 그레츠키에 대한 설명에도 'Convincet Yet?'이라는 역설적인 문구가 있군요.

마지막까지 보신 분들 대부분 생각하시겠지만 CNNSI의 이번 선정은
정말 너무나도 미국적인 판단에 근거한 거 같습니다.
종목별 안배같은 기준도 없고 근현대에 대한 충분한 고찰도 부족한 것 같구요.
철처하게 미국인들만이 좋아하는 미식축구에 큰 비중을 두고
다른 종목의 레전드 들이 되려 찬밥 신세가 되어버린 느낌이 드는군요.ㅋㅋ
