There are certain athletes whose names transcend the games that made them famous.
Think Ruth, Ali, Jordan and Gretzky. In soccer, before there was ever a Lionel Messi or a Cristiano Ronaldo, another South American globalized the game and showcased its beauty like no one before him. His is Pele. Now, his journey from a shoeless sensation as a boy to Brazil's most profitable commodity (he was tapped a national treasure as a teenager to prevent European clubs from signing him) and biggest ambassador as a man has been made into what appears to be an epic biopic.
