The distinguished winner of 28 Olympic medals (including 23 gold), Michael Phelps is undoubtedly one of the best swimmers of all-time. Phelps is so far ahead of the pack that there are few challengers to his crowd. However when Phelps was a youngster, he had to deal with a formidable foe in current Atlanta Hawks forward Kris Humphries.
Before excelling at basketball, Humphries was an excellent swimmer. At 10 years old, Humphries held several national records in swimming and even had better times than Phelps, who is the same age as the NBA forward and would compete in the same national races.
