So Lionel Messi has won his third straight Ballon D'Or -- the third man to win 3 FIFA Player of the Year Awards (with Zidane and Ronaldo), but the first to win 3-in-a-row. Or, counting the Ballon D'Or before it merged with the FIFA award, he joins Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini and Marco van Basten. That's some pretty illustrious company, and it certainly can't be said that Messi has no competition at the moment.
I've never seen the guy even look like he's trying hard. He can barely keep his hair out of his eyes, but he never misses his target. He's genuinely beautiful to watch. But the greatest player ever?
He's got to be in the running.

No fucking censorship. Ever.
