is phelps really overrated? 🤔

🎂 Michael Phelps just turned 40 — and it’s still hard to wrap our heads around what this man actually did to the sport 5 Olympics. 16 years. 39 World Records. 46 Golds (Worlds + Olympics). But here’s the wild part: With that resume, people are still out here debating if he’s “overrated”… or if someone like Dressel, Popovici, or even Léon Marchand is the next GOAT. Seriously? Let’s be real: 200 Free (1:42.96 WR) – 2008 Olympic “My best race ever,” he said. His winning margin of 1.89 seconds remains the largest ever recorded in Olympic history for the 200 freestyle. 100 Fly (49.82 WR) — 2009 World Championships! After Cavic talked trash and broke the WR in semis… Phelps answered. That’s legacy stuff. And yeah, we know about the photo. And the DUIs. He paid his price. Still showed up. Still won everything. Let’s hear it: 💬 What’s your favorite Phelps race? 💬 What’s his most underrated performance? 💬 And if he’s not your swimming GOAT… who is?
