- He has his own flavor of gum (Whitemint), which I happen to be chewing right now. Not bad.

- He has three video games that bear his name. Whether they are good or not is a different story, but how many people in his field (or his age) can say the same?

- He’s been on the cover of Rolling Stone twice. And on one of those covers, he’s paying homage to Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar.

- He has two Olympic gold medals. He’s only competed in two Olympic games. That means that he showed up, declared himself best at what he does in the entire world and then backed up the hype four years later. I couldn’t even match my high score that I set playing Angry Birds last month.

- He isn’t even 30 years of age yet.
