A New York yankee getting a standing ovation in his last game at Fenway park says all it needs to about Derek Jeter.

[@grimhunter2223]

Biggest Kobe fan but Derek on another level when it comes to leadership. He never quit on his team once. Derek is the greatest leader because many times he wasn't the best player on his team and all those guys still followed him.

[@deanzachariades6365]

Kobe is a close second to Jeter. People don't realize how difficult it is to win an NBA title with the Lakers. Yes they have won 17 but the spotlight is so intense it will shrink most players. Tim Duncan had it easy playing for the Spurs, that is why Kobe was a better leader. Same with Jeter. Winning five titles with the Yankees under that intense spotlight is incredible. DJ and Kobe are 1 and 1A.

The same dude that publicly called Shaq fat. The same dude that gave up in a GAME 7 against the Suns to show the media that he needs to stop passing the ball...THATS A LEADER?!?!?! Tim Duncan had great supporting cast and an all time great coach. Kobe had that too.

@@rishiprabhuram4368 As a Michigan alum I have nothing but respect for Brady. However, he played for the Patriots, a team that no success prior to his arrival. Whereas Jeter to the Yankees and Kobe to the Lakers are huge because they came in under the biggest spotlight in their respective sports. Secondly, there is the matter of Brady playing three years for the Buccaneers. He won a SB with them but that stint tarnished his otherwise sterling legacy.

[@johndeming4015]

25 years ago was 1995. Michael Jordan had a three-peat and a 72 win season post-1995. I think he should be in the conversation.

[@ThePmfan]

He clearly is. Bill Russell, Magic and Bird as well in Basketball. Jeter, Mattingly and many others in baseball. But it's time to talk about Jeter, so I have no problem with them pointing out how Jeter managed to keep his nose clean for 20 years. He had the intelligence to, for example, wait to get married until he wasn't on the road all the time. His parents should get a lot of the credit, just as Aaron Judge's parents seem to have done a good job.

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

As the GOAT, sure. As a leader I’m not to comfortable on that because really anyone with a big enough stick can be called the leader by simpletons but true leadership isn’t just being the best player.

[@ccwnyc5671]

Best Jeter story was he told Bush after 9/11 "Mr. President, they'll boo you if you don't throw it from the top of the mound." and Shepard called it STRrr-IKE!

[@ArianTyson]

I have never liked the Yankees (being a lifelong Cardinals fan and native of the STL); however, DEREK JETER (based on the time frame given) IS the greatest leader over that span. What separates "The Captain" from anyone else that comes to mind (i.e. Tom Brady) is that he played his entire career with no controversy attached to him. He remained consistent through ownership and management changes (nearly 3500 hits, 5 World Series titles (including one three peat) in 6 appearances. Currently, the man holds MLB postseason records for games played (158), plate appearances (734), at-bats (650), hits (200), singles (143), doubles (32), triples (5), runs scored (111), total bases (302) and he did this when steroids was a major issue. His name was never attached to any controversy. It's not Brady, it's Derek Jeter and he should have went in unanimously, like his teammate Mariano Rivera did last year and how Ken Griffey, Jr. should have been unanimous as well.

[@thetodd2738]

Smartest comment I've read today. As a yankee fan I may sound biased but Jeter navigated the New York media market without ever having a problem with them. No teammate of his can say he was anything but the best leader. Never acted selfish. I agree Griffey should have been a unanimous choice. Without injuries, Griffey would have shattered records. Sweetest swing in baseball.

This is ridiculous. First of all, stats wise, he was basically Paul Molitor (probably even worse if you count dj’s horrendous fielding stats). Also, baseball is such an individual sport, it’s silly to think that one player can affect a team like how a QB affects football or how a great basketball player can affect a game. Those yankee teams were also stacked with hitting and pitching. Again, he’s basically Paul Molitor.

The guy in the red jacket tried putting Jeter under the bus BUT NOPE! Jeter has no dirty while playing MLB

[@18magicMARKer]

Mariano was the best closer almost every year! Jeter was maybe the 3rd best SS during his prime? in his 20 year career he was 2nd in MVP out of 15 teams? try winning the MVP against all the players like in NBA, NFL. He was lucky to be with the Yankees when some really great players players who cheated and an owner who spent like crazy. Jeter is the most overrated player ever. He benefited from being a really good player (not great) for a really long time in the center of the baseball world. If you ask an GM and said build your team around any player, no would pick him!

Derek Jeter in my opinion is the best to ever play the game. And it was a treat to watch him play in person at Yankee games.

Omg you shouldn’t even be talking baseball with nonsense like that!!!🤦🏿‍♂️

Kobe is a great leader because he leads by example what he doesn't do is babysit players

[@sedaw3261]

Please, we all know Tom Brady is the greatest leader in sports, the greatest intangibles

[@muhammedheib7108]

They did my man Jay dirty. I mean, you end the video as he started talking about kobe bryant... come on ESPN, you can do better.

[@justinsullivan5839]

Tom Brady and Ray Lewis are/were better leaders than Jeter.

[@Mr_B79]

As a life long Mets fan (yeah yeah I know) I've tipped my cap to Jeter over and over again. a true leader for 162 + games a year over the course of 6-7 months , that's more than half a year with your teammates and he never faltered on that leadership role. Oh and doing so for the Yankees which even if you're 9th in the lineup you still have a spotlight on yourself. # 2 is MJ #3 Popovich #4 Tom Brady/Bill Belichick.

Baseball is boring

[@bradlewis6514]

It's of the extremest rarity in professional sports that u have men - not just that on the field, but who r also the definition of a gentlemen off the field! Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera are in that extremest of rarity, mind-boggling that they played together for the same franchise! Not one epitome of a role model, but two! There are more than many who should very well take a cue from these two about how to conduct yourself! It's great having game, but when it comes to real life, your image stands out over all!
