David Letterman is stepping down after decades as the host of The Late Show, and there has been a lof of fanfare surrounding his illustrious career. He has had thousands of guest on the show over the years, but some of the best interviews were when he would have a famous athlete on.

In honor of the final show for the beloved host, here are five of the best-ever athlete appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman:
5. Phil Neikro
Neikro was a great pitcher back in his day, and it was during an appearance with Letterman that he actually revealed that he cheated while on the mound.
4. George Steinbrenner and Billy Martin
Steinbrenner was famously hot-tempered as the Yankees' owner, and nobody set off George's temper better than manager Billy Martin, who butted heads with the owner across a number of managerial stints.

3. Ben Roethlisberger
Big Ben is one of the NFL's most recognizable quarterbacks, so it made for great television when he appeared with Dave for an interview and a trim.
2. Bill Belichick
Dave still showed off his trademark interview skills in recent months, letting everyone know that he was stepping down while still on top of his game. Nobody exemplified that better than when he gave Bill Belichick the business about Deflategate.
1. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson
When he was at his best, Letterman brought out the best in his guests, and a pair of NBA Legends appearing on the show set the stage for great theater.
