Sir Donald Bradman: Greatest cricketer Ever by almost 50% to the 2nd best player in History, which makes Jordan and Tiger Woods live in Awe of someone Greater. He Also Was probably one of The most friendly quiet people, He also never cashed in on his success and only played sport for the love of it, not money.
He is now in his afterlife giving Babe Ruth lessons on how to improve his batting. RIP

Adam Gilchrist: Most entertaining Batsman in the modern era is also a wicket keeper (If you don't know cricket, don't worry)

Jason Gillespie: My favorite Current Bowler (cricket)

Curtly Ambrose: West Indian Bowler, loved his attitude, great bloke

John Ronald Reuel T: greatest author

Robert Trujillo: my favorite Bass player (Infectious Grooves)

Al Lowe: The Larry series, plus some earlier and later games

Tim Schafer & Ron Gilbert: For obvious reasons

Dan Castellaneta: Homer Simpson, Grampa Abraham Simpson, Barney Gumble, Krusty, Groundskeeper Willie, Mayor Quimby, Hans Moleman, Sideshow Mel, Itchy, Kodos, Gil, Poochie, Squeaky-Voiced Teen, Burn's Lawyer, Mr. Teeny, Bill Clinton

Hank Azaria: Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Moe Szyslak, Chief Clancy Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Lou, Carl, Dr. Nick Riviera, Snake, Kirk Van Houten, Captain McCallister, Bumblebee Man, Supernintendo Chalmers, Professor Frink, Cletus, Dredrick Tatum, Pyro

Harry Shearer: C. Montgomery Burns, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, Otto, Reverend Lovejoy, Dr. Julius Hibbert, Kent Brockman, Jasper, Lenny, Edde, Rainier Wolfcastle/McBain, Scratchy, Kang, Herman, George Bush, Judge Snyder

Those last 3 incredible vocal talents, that I'm sure everyone can appreciate.

Imagine if you had that talent, you could make a speech pack on your own

Thomas Edison: Inventor of the electric hammer

That's enough

[Helm]

Herge too, yeah.

[Nacho]

Buff... Ergé, Moebius, Bill watterson... The list is growing with many notable comic people.

Talking not on artists, let me add Karl Schindler and all the people "without movie" like him who risked their lives ashamed of the acts of their insane regime.

[SSH]

Karl Schindler

Wasn't it Oscar, nor Karl?

[Barcik]

Ronaldo--he is the footy master.

And a shirtty person.

I triple Farlander's latest notion.

[Nacho]

Sorry... It was Oskar Schindler, indeed.

And... About Barcik´s last notion, now that he mentionet it... Ronaldo is not an admirable person (in my oppinion) because he had betrayed the people who believed on him.

He was in PSV when Barcelona hired him. It was not a very smart operation, but legal... He was injuried during His PSV´s las year and nobody missed him. That year he played his best football, but he was hired Inter Milan for money, not taking care of the 120,000 sould that healed him each sunday.

And (in spite of being Barcelona Fan) that´s not the worst. He was seriously injuried during his stay in Milano, but the crowd never critisized him, the contract was never revisited and he was full paid.

After that... a good World Cup Tournament and... He betrayes Internazionale de Milano for hiring Madrid. That´s disgusting!

It´s like you´re married with an ugly woman that everybody except you hates, then she enters in a surgery room and becomes the cutiest lady in the town. And then... she divorces of you and gets engaged with the city´s playboy (Real Madrid, God blame him). Would you felt betrayed?

Sometimes the things you do become more important than your personality or your acts, but this is not the case. Ronaldo spents money in buying private islands and yatches, not in poor guys as many other brasilian players do.

Trust me, there are more football players to admire, more brasilians, or more Real Madrid players (Roberto Carlos, maybe) if that´s what you like, but not Ronaldo, please.

Tìmôsít¥: Thomas Edison??? Take that bastard's name down, and put up Nikola Tesla.

[Timosity]

Tìmôsít¥: Thomas Edison??? Take that bastard's name down, and put up Nikola Tesla.

I hope you're tring to be witty being a Simpsons fan, I also could have said Homer Simpson invented it

[plasticman]

While we're listing comic artists, i absolutely have to mention Enki Bilal.

[Trapezoid]

For comic artists, I'm gonna go with Steve Purcell.
I have other people whom I admire, but most of them have been snatched up by other people. I like to be original. So, uh...

Adolf Hitler - His mustache, anyway.

Shaq - I must admire his graceful acceptance of Aaron Carter's superiority in basketball.

The Crocodile Hunter - I know of no other man who can slay an 18 foot crocodile just by looking at it, and while in coitus with his wife, no less.

Thor - I just have a funny feeling that if I don't admire Thor, something bad will happen to me.

Splinter, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Same as with Thor. He's a giant rat for chrissakes.

Siegfried - But not Roy, that fucking bastard.

Is that ten? I'm not counting. I'm just gonna pretend it it.

[Barcik]

Adolf Hitler - His mustache, anyway.

That's not even close to being funny.

[Eggie]

I admire every half-decent cartoon artist under the sun...or in their case under artificial light in a dark room, scribbling frantically...

[Trapezoid]

Barcik, truly sorry if I offended you. But people have been making Hitler jokes for the past 60 years. My joke was that no one in their right mind would admire Adolf. Would you have reacted the same if I listed Joseph Stalin's mustache instead?

[Barcik]

I just can't see how it is right to put people like Hitler or Stalin in a list of admirable people, even as a joke.

[Trapezoid]

Ironically?
Anyway, just forget about it. I didn't really mean to be offensive, just stupid. Never mind me.
