SI cover trivia quiz - cctop - 01-22-2024

Stolen from today's Morning Brew newsletter:

Friday's mass layoffs at Sports Illustrated sparked a wave of nostalgia about the publication, including its iconic covers.

Below is a list of the athletes who appeared on the most covers (through 2016).

The athlete's sport and number of covers is given.  Can you name the athlete?

1.  Basketball - 50 covers
2.  Boxing - 40 covers
3.  Basketball - 25 covers
4.  Golf - 24 covers
5.  Basketball - 23 covers
6.  Basketball - 22 covers
7.  Football - 20 covers

My guesses --

1. Michael Jordan
2. Muhammad Ali
3, 5, and 6. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson (in some order))
4. Tiger Woods
7. Tom Brady

You guys agreed on the easy ones. :-)

1.  Michael Jordan - 50 covers
2.  Muhammad Ali - 40 covers
3.  Basketball - 25 covers
4.  Tiger Woods - 24 covers
5.  Basketball - 23 covers
6.  Basketball - 22 covers
7.  Tom Brady - 20 covers

Kareem and Magic are two of the others but not in the positions you listed, and you're missing one other basketball star.
