With MJ, too, you have the option to foul and hope he splits a pair. Good point with being defenseless against Tiger. Now, Tiger in the above example vs. Willie Mays Hayes saying "I will steal this base" Ya that’s true. With MJ, too, you have the option to foul and hope he splits a pair.

Now, Tiger in the above example vs. Willie Mays Hayes saying “I will steal this base”

In the case of golf, you are totally and utterly helpless to the potential brilliance of your competition, meaning that there is nothing you could do about Tiger making that shot. While there is practically nothing you could do about Jordan, you could at least try to D up (see: Ehlo, Craig) and hope he has to push you on your ass to get open (I see you Russell) I’d say Tiger, for the sole reason that I can at least TRY to stop MJ by playing D.

What would be more intimidating:

Tiger saying “I’m making this shot” to you on the tourney-deciding chip for the Grand Slam
or
MJ saying “I’m making this shot” to you in Game 7 of the NBA Finals
??
