Why he might be annoying:

He is only remembered for one particular moment.
He has never won an individual Olympic gold medal.
He had an endorsement deal with Nike.
He had a hard time getting sponsors months after the 2008 Olympics due to the economy.

Why he might not be annoying:

Prior to the men's 4x100 freestyle relay at the 2008 Summer Olympics, Frenchman Alain Bernard said his team would smash the U.S.. When it came down to the final 100 meters, it was between world-record holder and 100 meter freestyle gold medalist Bernard, who had a sizeable lead, and Lezak.
With the performance of a lifetime, Lezak would beat out Bernard to win the gold for the U.S.
His finish in that relay helped in Michael Phelps' successful quest for eight gold medals at those Olympics.
He lit the torch at the 2009 Maccabiah Games, which is an all-Jewish athletic competition.
He has a business/economics degree from UC-Santa Barbara.
