    Stan Musial and Roberto Clemente to name a couple. It's a shame the guys that cause problems get more headlines when they screw up than the guys that do great things behind the scenes.

    On a real note though, Lebron James has to make the list. He was in the mega star limelight since 16 literally. Built up as better than MJ coming into the league at 18, and he lived up to the hype. All that mega money and fame and he has never been caught partying it up or doing anything shady. Kept his life long friends close and employed. Faithful (from what we hear) to his GF now wife. Pretty well spoken as far as athletes go.

    I know he had "The Decision"... but if a guys worst mistake was a one hour "all eyes on me" tv show raising millions for the Boys and Girls Club, he hasn't really done much wrong.

    Maybe not THE classiest, but Cal Ripken Jr. makes the list for me.

    Reggie White turned out not to be that good. Took all that money people donated to his church burning down and ran.
