On Wednesday, "First Take" debated Michael Phelps' rank among all athletes. This comes on the heels of Phelps winning his Olympic-record 19th medal in a team event on Tuesday. Skip Bayless wouldn't put him in his top 100 athletes of all time, because of swimming's smaller talent pool compared to, say, basketball. Stephen A. Smith thinks there's something to be said for absolutely dominating your sport in a way that Phelps has, regardless of the competition involved, though he puts Phelps below someone like Carl Lewis. What's your take?
