What do these men have in common?

John Elway, Michael Jordan, "The Great One", Brett Farve, Vince Lombardi, Jack Nicholaus, "The Iron Man", Roger Staubach, George Brett, "The Bus", Tiger Woods, Jim Thorpe, Pele, Sweetness, Lance Armstrong, Ozzi Smith, Muhammad Ali and my personal favorite, Jerry Rice.

A combination of natural talent and work ethic, nothing more.
