Part of Gretzky’s legacy and genius is his storytelling ability and his way of deflecting credit to others who supported him along his journey. If you listen, almost every question is like a parable where he shares a story about another individual who helped him achieve greatness. He doesn’t really indulge in his own accomplishments at all. Master storyteller and one of the most humble superstars we will ever see.

@mcgee9777 2 года назад

The most unselfish GOAT sport has ever seen, it's never about him, always his teammates and his idols. He may hold the scoring record and more records than most of us can count but Wayne still considers Gordie Howe to be the best there ever was. To me he'll always be the classiest player regarded as "the best" of any pro sports league. Truly a legend among legends.

@ryancampbell5267 2 года назад

Not from Canada, not even a huge hockey fan but Gretzky is the Man. #1 in hockey, top 5 at least in all of sports.

@derekwalter7100 2 года назад

I was going to comment the same thing. The man is the greatest athlete in his sports history, but immediately directs the accolades to his peers, and those that came before him. The star players from the "big 3" sports could learn a lot about humility from this guy. And man, what I wouldn't give to sit down over a couple of pops with Wayne, just to listen to him tell stories.

Growing up, my dad (from oshawa) always told us the story about how they beat Gretzky's team in 5 games in the finals in a tournament when they were 11. Pretty crazy to hear the same story from Wayne... I guess my dad wasn't lying!

@leatherrecliner330 2 года назад

My dad would also like to point out that, yes they were so well coached because two of their coaches had played on the 1958 whitby dunlops that won the world hockey championships (one being Tommy o'connor, couldn't remember the other). AND , that 3 guys from his team did end up making junior A out in the maritimes, so suck on that walt! ;). My dad said even back then at 11 wayne was extremely kind and humble, the man never lost his roots!

This was awesome. I’m from Louisiana and I got into hockey because my dad loved Gretzky so much. Played for a couple years in pee wee but sadly the independent league team that provided the ice folded and the nearest town that had a team was several hours away. To this day when I see another guy that I played with from 5-7 years old it’s a special bond just because not many people at all down here have ever even put on skates, much less played hockey.

Anyway, Wayne was 14 at the time, and it was a great thrill, because I was very aware of this dude's reputation from the time he was 10. I was living just outside London, and playing for Lambeth in an annual tournament held in Strathroy, Ontario. Thank you so much for this upload!!! Just fantastic!!!!

A lot of hockey guys have good stories, but you find out as you follow them that they repeat the story a lot and even in the same way.... then there's Gretz who has a tome of good stories, with rarely a repeat and if there is a re-tell, it's told in a whole new and interesting way. The guy breathes hockey with a memory as good as his stats.

@TimLinklater 2 года назад

Being a Winnipegger- it is exciting but heartbreaking knowing that 99 was so close to becoming a Jet. I always heard stories but never from Wayne nor at this length. So crazy to hear that these stories were actually true- and you could have had the greatest player ever if you offered him a new car. So nuts!!! Gretzky and the Oilers went on to become the greatest team ever assembled though IMO- so it all happend the way it should have. But I still would have loved to see 99 as a Jet.
