First, I’m not a sports fan so I never knew all the terms that fans used when discussing sports. I consistently saw this term used when comparing LeBron to Jordan and finally I had to ask my wife (she is the sports fan) , “What the hell does G.O.A.T. stand for?”
Now that I’m educated on the definition I can say this, “I’m not the G.O.A.T. of high school wrestling.” Nice to be in the discussion but I don’t view myself as that guy.
Below is the guy that inspired me to climb the ranks early, plain and simple! Making the Olympic team at 16 is a feat that has not been duplicated nor has anyone actually come close to it since 1973.
On top of making the team in 1973 Jimmy won the Midlands his Jr. year of high school when it was by far the toughest tournament in the United States (mix of the best Sr. level and college athletes). What Jimmy Carr accomplished is sadly overlooked because I believe people had expectations of what was to come from him in college and beyond.
He passed away not that long ago due to a car accident and medical complications.
For those like me who don't know what G.O.A.T. means: Greatest Of All Time
