Holy playmakers, Batman!  That's right we did it, after much research in our bat cave we've come up with a list of the best sidekicks in sports history. Because like Kato and the Green Hornet or Bert and Ernie,  where would the greatest number ones in sports be without a loyal sidekick?  With the likes of the NBA all-time assists leader and one of the best skinny-post route runners the to grace the gridiron, our list of Robins contains the guys who were always dependable and sometimes even took center stage when it mattered most in the biggest games (see Richard Dent in the '85 postseason).  So without further ado, we bring you The 25 Greatest Sidekicks in Sports History.
