Jim Thorpe.

One of the greatest athletes in history. Could do it all in track, great footballer, good at baseball and basketball. Who was doing that?

Always wondered how he'd have done vs Jack Johnson in boxing, Johnson about 8 years older.

Apparently he broke President to be Eisenhowers leg, guess he played for Army.

So far no one has really come up with athletes who were REAL stars at multiple sports.

JIm Thorpe and Bo Jackson are true exceptions. Technically Jackson was a three sport guy since I do believe he ran track and field.

What is the definition of a REAL star? Bo Jackson was an Alabama state decathlon champion, but did nothing at Auburn. Don Hutson went to Bama on a baseball ride, he was All State in basketball, a 9.7 sprinter on the track team and a Hall of Fame WR, is this a REAL star?

TONS of NFL players were also track stars, Bob Hayes a stud HS baseballer, Olympic gold medalist and a Hall of Famer in football.

Milt Campbell was the best hurdler in the world, he won the Olympic gold in the decathlon, he was stud in judo and played in the NFL..
