EPISODE SUMMARY

There are five men who we consider the greatest ever in their respective sports: Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, and Tom Brady. These were great players, with many great moments and multiple championships in their careers. In this episode we talk about a part of each legend's career that is not often discussed: their last game (or fight) ever.
