"I never watched Pele play except for the clips of him on YouTube. Yet, he was a presence in my life, and I look at soccer matches through the images he created. This greatness lives beyond your prime and even your own life. If anyone deserves to rest in peace, it is Pele." — Tang Li
So, the question of what defines “greatness” needs to be asked. In answering that question, I would probably say that the answer lies in “artistry” and “humanity,” which are inevitably hard concepts to understand in a world driven by data and statistics. Pele has statistically done many things which today’s modern superstars are still struggling to overcome. However, the old saying is that “records are made to be broken.
In the case of Mandela, it’s easy to see the greatness – he was a national leader of high moral standing and inspired hope on a continent where national leaders are better known for inspiring despair. Can the same be said of sports heroes? Unlike, say, artists or musicians, they don’t leave behind something tangible.
