Dave De Busschere in 1996 he was named one of the 50 best NBA players of alltime, pitched a couple of seasons with White Sox, at age 24 became the youngest coach in NBA history, was later commissioner of the ABA & helped the league merge with the NBA is worthy of consideration. Terry Baker , Heisman winner playing qb & starting guard on OSU basketball team. Bob Hayes was once the fastest man in the world & was a terrific wide receiver for the Cowboys. Babe Zaharias Olympic Gold Medal winner & a fmous golfer that won 10 tournaments. Jackie Jensen for baseball & football became first to play in a Rose Bowl & a World Series game.

Not to brag, but I played South Texas AAA private high school basketball and competed on a rec league kickball team in the mid-2000's.

I was always amazed at the workload put in my Sara Jay, Brandi Taylore and Alura Jenson.

Pro golfer. Never made it to the NHL, but was a football legend in college

Spent time in the NFL as well, before having to serve hard time after taking a joy ride and crashing while liquored up.

It should be possible, albeit difficult, to compare Bo and Deion's speed from game film.

I personally think Deion was a hair faster but Bo was the superior athlete in every other way. Seeing is believing:



Bo stiff-armed Deion to the ground on one of his TD runs, video of which I posted before

Tech Auburn game maybe '85. Tech leads getting late and Bo goes around left end and runs away from Tech players like a man running from little boys. We lose. Somebody find a video of it.

Chuck Conners - Some say first player to break a glass backboard in NBA. I understand pretty good with a rifle and a broken sword, too.
GT's Tom Hammonds if you consider Motor Sports to be sports
conners played, or was on the rosters for a time, for the l a dodgers and boston celtics
