In 2014, Maradona said of his drug use: 'I gave my opponents a big advantage. Do you know the player I could have been if I hadn't taken drugs?' That is quite a scary thought that a top 5 in history player spent his entire career as high as a kite.

Maradona.
Didn't know much about him but watched the Maradona documentary a couple of days ago. What an amazing story.
RIP

When the news popped up both me and my other half compared him to George Best.
Two hours after I'm browsing Twitter, only to see that not only did Maradona die on the same date as Best, 15 years later, they were both 60 years old at the time of death.
Spooky.

I think the fact that they died on the same date at the same age is where the comparisons should end. Maradona was levels above Best imo.

More the skilful footballers who had legendary careers but lived very flawed lives. Eerily similar in some ways, yet completely different in others.

Comparing footballers across a 15 year age gap is tricky so it’s understandable that you could be wrong about this.

I agree with Celtic but I'm comparing the opinions of posters across a 15 year age gap so I could be wrong.
Is there any way we can work BMI into the equation?
I have no idea what I'm on about, I just wanted to join the conversation.

Maradona’s BMI was also levels above George Best’s too.

Meh, you think Maradonna could do this on a wet Saturday in January?

Personally, I rank Maradonna Top Ten, possibly Top Five. Certainly behind Messi and CR7 in the fulfilled potential lists.
In the ‘brilliant but flawed’ category he’s close to level with Best.
Reasonable enough for you?

I'm just more confused.
I was saying Maradona v Best in a straight up 'who was better?' debate, that Maradona has to be levels above Best. I get the feeling you disagree. I asked 5 football fans and they all said Maradona was way better. If you're not disputing that, then I apologise.

They all said he was levels above? Best wasted his talent more, but Best clearly wasn't that far behind Maradona when he was at his peak. Levels implies a massive gulf between the two.
I think there is an issue comparing between generations as Messi has likely done more than Maradona ever did, and is likely better technically than Maradona was at his peak. Both were clearly the best at their peak; and you'd struggle to argue Best wasn't amongst the very best when he was at his peak.
