"Greatest" is a hard modifier to apply but Jonny Kim is a:

- Navy SEAL (LT Commander USN, Seal Team 3, awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star)
- An astronaut (NASA Astronaut Group 22, Increment Lead for Expedition 65 on the ISS)
- A Doctorate in Medicine from Harvard.

That's pretty high on the "Resume I wouldn't want compared to mine" list.
