Absolutely the greatest greatest.

Ali was the most divisive athlete the sports world has ever produced, loved, and vilified throughout the 1960s and 1970s for his religious, political, and social beliefs. His reluctance to be drafted during the Vietnam War, as well as his opposition to racial integration at the height of the civil rights movement, were all examples of his stance, per The New York Times. He is one the best examples of using his celebrity status to spread good in the world and will be always remembered for that.
This classic clip is a testimony of the man that was Mohammed Ali.

In another example, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gave away his people's choice award in 2021 for the best cause. While accepting his award, Johnson acknowledged a Make-a-Wish recipient, a girl named Shushana, who was in the crowd. He said, "Being here tonight with us and with you guys, this is her wish. She has no idea I'm doing this. This is a total surprise. I met her earlier. I told her how inspired I was by her story. She is a survivor, she has fought literally for her life, she has inspired her family [and] friends."
He added, "I want to tell you just how much you've inspired me and everyone around you and certainly everyone here. I want to give you this because you represent everything that it means to be a People's Champion so this is for you." The actor and wrestler then read out a quote from Muhammad Ali before handing his award to Shushana. He said, "The service to others is the rent you pay for the room you have here on earth." Before leaving the stage, he added, "It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice."
