Opinion | Defining sports dominance
Dominance, how does one define it?
In sports, dominance can be measured in a number of ways. Some think athlete dominance is based on the number of championships one wins, while others believe individual statistics are what make an athlete dominant.
The fact of the matter is that dominance should be measured using a combination of championships and statistics, as well as performance in the clutch and overall importance to his or her sport. When you think of a sport, you generally think of one single player as the face of that sport.
