Actually, you guys are wrong.
Gretz' had 62 records, but was he the fastest player? No. Was he the best stick handler? No, he wasn't. He was not the most talented player in the history of the NHL....look at the legendary Bobby Orr, or maybe Lemieux, who had the best points-per-average of all time...hahahah he scored a goal the first time he ever touched the puck, and was probably the most dominant scoring threat in the history of the game....For all his worth, Lemieux wasn't as technically proficient as Gretsky. No one could see the play develop as well as Wayne and it his integral knowledge of the game - the fact he's been right 99% of the time - is what makes him the best.
You can ask the top 100 sports experts of all time and i'm sure everyone will have a different answer to this question. The deciding vote in my opinion, goes to the reputations of each and what was accomplished off the court/ice - which goes to Wayne.
