Sports Competitions
Few players under the spectrum of sports covered by ESPN have ever come forward and publicly declared themselves the best all around athlete among their peer group.
Mohammed Ali proclaimed his greatness within boxing then proceeded to back it up. Deion Sanders proved it in football and baseball.
So it is no surprise that LeBron James or Aaron Rogers can't, or simply won't, claim their dominance over their respective fields of players.
Meet Andrew Klein.

Accept the Challenge
Poker should be a legitimate competition, whether contested in a licensed casino, played legally online or at a private setting. All law abiding poker players should have a right to enter tournaments at any licensed facility in the USA without arbitrary discrimination or apprehension about the fairness of play or their ability to safely collect their winnings.
These citizens must be guaranteed the ability and right to play for poker's World Championship; the World Series of Poker Main Event owned and controlled by Caesars Entertainment Corp.
Presently, there is no governing body for the "sport" of poker that assures this. The WSOP/Ceasars Entertainment Corp continues to arbitrarily ban any patron they choose for "no cause".
This can no longer be tolerated as the US government has ruled poker to be a legal and taxable entity. All Americans must be guaranteed the right to pursue the livelihood of their choice, protected by our Constitution. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are basic rights.
The LegitPoker.com Sports Challenge brings a focus to these Poker Player Rights for all Americans.
The LegitPoker.com Sports Challenge originated in 2011 and is open to any ranked poker player, with the payout (and entry fee) derived from the lifetime poker earnings of its sponsor, creator and eleven year reigning Champion poker pro Andrew Klein (currently over $450,000). $10,000 of this purse is designated to the charity of the event facilitator's choice.
The LegitPoker.com Pro Athlete Challenge is a separate competition, initiated in 2016, that is open to any pro athlete, entertainer or celebrity for a purse of $100,000 (of which $10,000 is directed to charity) with $50,000 on the Sports Challenge component and $50,000 on a heads up poker tournament. The poker will be played at a licensed casino, screened to assure compliance with these Poker Player Rights and all other US laws, in a best two of three match format with a 25 second shot clock to enhance the appeal of televised coverage.
