I see Richard Sherman on an open post-game mike the same way I saw John McEnroe on centre court at Wimbledon.  Both are/were serious players.  Both were/are close to being the best at their sport, but not clearly the best, in either case.

Wait McEnroe won the Grand Slam in 1983-84, at a time when the Australian Open was in December. He held the ATP world No 1 ranking for four years. If that's not clearly the best in his time, I don't know what is.

I'm also not sure how someone can say that Sherman isn't clearly the best this year. Is there any argument for anyone else? I haven't seen any.
