I think Calvin Johnson is hands down the world's greatest wide receiver. Jordan Spieth, in my opinion, is the world's greatest golfer, though he is ranked as the world's No.2 golfer officially.

On June 15, ESPN asked athletes if they think LeBron James is the world's greatest athlete. Multiple athletes gave their opinion.

Jordan Spieth, 21, gave his:

"I would say yes, but I'd put into that same equation Calvin Johnson and Cam Newton. As an athlete, I feel like Calvin Johnson can do anything. Cam Newton's hands are twice the size of mine; he's a freak athlete. Or Bo Jackson still might be the best."

Calvin Johnson got wind of the kind words so he decided to send him a little thank you gift.

According to Detroitlions.com, Calvin sent Spieth an autographed jersey and football.

"Jordan best of luck on tour," Johnson said.

Hey Calvin, I think you're better than LeBron! Feel free to send me some swag as well!
