Who's the best athlete in sports history?

[Sweet Pea 50]

I agree with this. The man was ridiculously agile for a man of that size and strength.

Michael Jordan comes to mind. Haven't seen Bo Jackson as I'm not american.

He was what the "Tumbler" was based on in the Bat Man movies.

Jim Thorpe.

[El Fenomeno]

Meh.



No padding, probably been running constantly for the previous 50 or so minutes prior to any of the clips.

Drafted by the Cowboys as a 20 year old having never actually played American Football in his life.

That's all I needed to read.

Usain Bolt and its not even close.

He red lights, he is done.

Let me break it down, in car terms.

A (not mine) big block, 500 gun Mustang runs against (not mine) daily driver Camry.

I trip the beams.

I lose to a 16 second car.

When I have a 7 second, back bumper on the street, fire breathing monster.

We know that he can run but it would be nice to see him display other athletic gifts. The best athletes are the most versatile athletes imo.

He also dominated his sport like few have ever dominated a sport before. And the guy is an absolute physical freak.
