There's not even a debate when it comes to this question.

Deion could've played in the NBA if he wanted. People forget that Deion was also Mr. Basketball in the state of Florida coming out of high school. Deion could've been an Olympics Track and Field athlete as well.

Yep, it's Deion hands down.

It's not wilt. All he did was dominate pasty white dudes. shyt. If you want to say wilt, you need to talk Bill Russell first, who usually had wilt on lock down.

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?

Michael Jordan (NBA). Mark Messier (NHL), Jerry Rice (NFL), Ricky Henderson (MLB)

Ricky Henderson was insane....People should look up some of his SB numbers..

His lead off was insane.

NBA: Wilt
NFL: Jerry Rice
NHL: Gretzky (altho Lemieux was putting absurd numbers up before the cancer. shyt, even after)
MLB: Bonds

Ricky Henderson was insane....People should look up some of his SB numbers..

you want to talk about a baseball player dominating. Breh had influence from the 2nd to the 9th hitter.

After watching Rand University

Randy Moss, the definition of a freak athlete.

Take 2 years off from Organized Football and still dominate

Bo Jackson made a Pro Bowl AND a MLB all-star game. Let's just think about that for a second.

and what about his track feats? this isnt about competition, its about being the best athlete. Which was Wilt.

IINM, Dave Winfield's one of 2 or 3 athletes ever to have been drafted into the NFL, NBA, and MLB. Gotta count for something.
