I think Michael Jordan might have been every bit as dominating, but that's not an apples to apples comparison. Jordan had to also rely on the performance of his team. Wilt Chamberlin also comes to mind, but I didn't have the chance to actually see him play. Additionally, take a look at the career of Mr. Jack Nicholas. Tiger will probably catch his number of major victories, but also look at the number of times Jack finished second and his number of top tens.
Outside of sports, some of Einstein's theories have changed the world we live in, while I don't really know if I could say that Tiger has changed the way golf is played (of course, that opens the door to an entirely different conversation that I'm surprised no one has brought up).
And finally, the Scatterload is to things between bread what Tiger is to golf.
