[benpazt]

i love Momota but after his answer i love him more.. humble, smart, respect for everyone. such a great personality!!

[chandrasekhar]

I liked Momota's reply. Very very insightful.

[kantansa]

I love both the 'nobody' & 'everybody' answer. Simply brilliant. Showing their individuality and intelligence.

[rahule.v]

I pray for Momotas comeback everyday. What a humble yet incredibly talented athlete

[denzelnolet]

Momota giving the most Japanese answer possible 😂
While Watanabe going chaotic neutral

[AwonDanag]

LD and LCW are spectacular in that after all this time I think they are (if not) the only players who you could say became bigger than badminton itself. They contributed so much to popularizing the sport.

Happy to see Natsir is getting some love! She made it all look so easy back in the day

[aliceningkan]

Momota you are the best. Yes everyone is equally whether they are rank 1 or 100.you are such a humble person 👍

[arandomguy]

For sure hendra & ahsan is most likely the idols of current double players, they've got so much respect and be in the top for so long. But i'm a bit shock with LZJ's answer because almost all malaysian's badminton idol is LCW but his answer is a bit different but for sure Chen Long and Victor are among top of the players for a long time

[srinivasanp]

Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan are the greatest players of all time just like Pele and Maradona in football. They have contributed a lot to the sport and they will be remembered forever

[yourwellwisher]

Hendra & Ashan the best all rounders, players, maturity, socially, respectful, fair, cool, fit, list goes on and on !!
✌👌👍👏👏🙏🙏🤛🤛

[awaluddin]

For role model in attitude, respectfull, integrity, fit body, Ups and down mental siklus i guess The DADDIES is the Living Idol (They still playing in high level) Such a legend.

[kokkok]

It's LCW for me. I love seeing everyone play but he is the definition of consistency and "never give up" attitude.

[t.c]

Lin Dan. No other player changed his style like him. From a aggresive Player (2008) to a tactic/defense player in 2017. Simply the GOAT.

[zhanyuxie]

for me: Lin & Lee
current players: someone I don't dare to say his name as I know I'd get laughed at
after watching this interview I guess TTY & Momota & Watanabe were saying they had no idol since they see themselves as ones and that's fair enough in my book
Momota 's defense & stamina back in 2019; TTY & Watanabe 's tactics esp Tai's deception and Yuta 's (i couldn't figure out any specific word to conclude but I'd say he always returns shots in the cases where his opponents thought he would've never returned and even won the rally)
back in 2020 or 2021, there was this little activity where BWF asked players to pick players (one from each of 4 or 5 categories) and form their own prefect player, I had Tai and/or Watanabe and/or Setiawan and/or Kevin Sukamuljo for intelligence

[sampanurag]

Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei rivalry is what made badminton amazing in the last 2 decades.

[dhavalbakshi]

Kento Momota sums it up for all... This sport is everyone's efforts in the arena ... There are legends always but the new generation of players are sweating it out to make this game recognised at a global level... 🙂🙌🏼

[suryasjv]

0:09 lindan most dominent player ever played
no one can come close to
legend of legends
really miss him

[aroundthisprettyplanet]

Momota's reply was awesome. Can't wait to see he is back in his original form <3 😍

[rkubqld]

for me, theres only 2.. lin dan and hendra setiawan. they r the GOATs in their category, both in terms of achievement and playing style. they r unique and artful. the depth of their badminton cant never be replicated bcos it is beyond just physical and mental field, that many can achieve. Their understanding, anticipation, reading, control, efficiency that separate them from the legendary players.. its like how we see messi playing football. Its the same as these guys too, in badminton.
