If you grew up watching sports in the early 2000s, you were aware the Red Sox had broken the curse of the Bambino, the Patriots were in the beginning works of developing a dynasty, while the Lakers were in the midst of theirs, and Real Madrid was the team to beat in the UEFA Cup. Here is a list of five athletes who will ring a bell of nostalgia and were a became you didn’t want to mess with at the launch of the 21st century.

1. Tom Brady

The face of sizable Boston athletes throughout his tenure as the quarterback for the New England Patriots, this No. 199 overall draft pick has become one of the best football players of all time. An undoubted future Hall of Famer, he’s won five Super Bowls with the same team and is serene itching for a sixth at the age of 40. Brady has also won various MVP awards and has demonstrated that age is easily just a number.

2. Shaquille O’Neal

The big man, “Shaq,” made quite the impressive track narrate when he became a legend in the NBA. Winning three tidy consecutive championships with a young Kobe Bryant, his gregarious and inspiring personality left many to watch in excitement whenever he stepped out on a basketball date. Nowadays, he is an NBA analyst for TNT and is often seen heckling Charles Barkley pre-games, during halftime and even post games.

3. Derek Jeter

Having grown up in Boston as a imparted Sox fan, this choice was hard to make. But, “The Captain” always played with the utmost of class and for that, I will always hold generous towards him. He was humble even when they beat the Red Sox, and his commitment to populace a team player has been recognized universally. He was a consistent danger during the postseason and no spotlight was ever too inviting for him.

4. Tiger Woods

Unequivocally the most feared golfer to date, whenever country played against Woods from 2000-2008, they were competing for a runner-up spot. He dominated his prankish like no other, winning championship after championship in commanding used. He has since fallen from the pillar of greatness he once held, but, he has competed well the last few tournaments he has played in and a comeback is definitely looking inviting for him.

5. David Ortiz

Another Boston fable. After the 2004 postseason in which the Red Sox came back from a 3-0 series deficit in contradiction of their rivals in the New York Yankees, Ortiz had officially cemented his legacy as one of the most widely accepted athletes of the 21st century. He not only put the entire Boston Red Sox team on his back, but he also conquered the city of Boston on his back as well. Forever an icon in my eyes, he too deserves to be on this list.

---

These athletes will always be remembered as figures I grew up watching during my early exposure to sports. As a big sports fan, it was these guys that helped me to form a strong passion for both watching and playing. They helped me be pleased the games they played like no one else in their prankish had.
