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.

Double it.

Are you telling him to double what Wilt did? He better get busy.

Ironic that Chamberlain was named Wilt with given his prowess

 

[JJacket]

Not sure if he played any other sports, but just his 4 TD record performance has to get him in the discussion

 

[BigChooch0405]

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

Hershel Walker

How about his other " Hershels"?

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.

364 days until hockey try outs.

 

[GTCrew]

Yes. Look it up.

Deion's best legitimate 100m is quite a bit faster than Bo's. If Bo was faster then it didnt translate to the track meets. I know some cat at Auburn timed Bo at 3.8 in the 40, but do you really trust Auburnites with such advanced technology operations as stopwatches?

Kim Jong Il once shot an 18 in a round of golf. Think he was an absolute beast at everything he did.

Poop hold champion of the world.

Kim Jong Il once shot an 18 in a round of golf. Think he was an absolute beast at everything he did.

That's been debunked for awhile. It was a 34 on the scorecard with 5 holes in 1. It was later determined that the scorecard was recording strokes over par, and so he actually shot 34 over par.

[FLTech]

Danny angragham was abbeast at both

 

[RussianOffense]

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

 

[MSCI99]

Calvin Johnson. Football and whatever sport he gave up to play more football.

 

[ramblinwise1]

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.

Speaking of Smoltz, looks like he played a senior pga tour event this weekend and placed 76th out of a field of 78. (scroll to bottom of story)

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
