According to Leland Stein, the top black athletes of all time are:
35--Ervin "Magic" Johnson, basketball great/Olympian; one of the greatest passers in the history of the game. At his retirement, he was the all-time NBA assist leader. His team oriented play pushed him and his teammates to five NBA titles and one Gold medal (in '92 Games).
34--Jackie Joyner-Kersey, Olympian; she is arguably the greatest all-around female athlete. Joyner-Kersey is the only black woman to win two Olympic Gold medals in the heptathlon in '88 and '92, as well as Gold in the long jump ('88).
