Joining me to finish up the show, and I'm looking forward to this, is Michael Arkush.

Michael has written or co-written 15 books, including New York Times bestsellers from the outside with Ray Allen,

the big fight with Sugar Ray Leonard, and more.

And with the second of four golf majors taking place this week down in Charlotte

at Quail Hollow, I thought it would be a good time to talk about Michael's new book, The Golf

100, a spirited ranking of the greatest players of all time. We love list books. You know, in mentioning just the book that you did

about Sugar Ray Leonard, I was thinking that we as sports fans, we love kind of list making

and rankings. We'll get to your book. We'll get to golf in a moment. But boxing has always been, right? Michael,

one of those sports like golf where the conversation is always about rankings and lists,

you know, the greatest ever, the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of all time. What sport?

What sport do you think we as sports fans do this the most with?

That's a good question. It seems like we do that with basketball a lot. Maybe that's because

LeBron right now is wrapping up his career and make the comparisons to Michael Jordan. I don't

think we do it as much in baseball and football, but certainly in basketball,

but you're right. The individual sports, boxing and golf lend themselves so perfectly for this

because there's no place to hide. There's no point guard to blame for not getting you the ball

or no coach who didn't start you. You are on your own and you're exposed, and that's the

wonderful thing about those two sports.

Yeah, and in bringing up basketball, it's usually, you know, it can be teams that we rank, you know, the greatest teams of all time, but it's position-based.

You know, it's the greatest point guard, it's the greatest center, and in football it would be, you know, the greatest quarterbacks.

I think we probably do greatest quarterbacks of all time as much as we do almost anything else.

Yeah, I would think so.
