Best Overall Athlete of All Time?

[OG Talk]

Not just the most physically gifted (Bo Jackson) or the most accomplished (Bill Russell) but the best combination of both..

The fact that I'm a 80s baby has me thinking it might be Wayne Gretzky or Jordan...

The fact that he was so dominant in a physically brutal era makes me think Jerry Rice is in the discussion...

Any boxers? Track stars?
