I think if we ever see one again, it will be an NBA player because you don't even have to be fully committed to the season. You can sit out half the shít and no one would bat an eye.
Will we ever see a professional 2 sport player again?

Its too difficult now even though I think with the way today’s players have become so naturally athletic several of them could do it.
If you watch Deion’s 30 for 30 and see how much shyt he got trying to make it work in the SAME city then you’ll see why many wouldn’t want the hassle

No. And definitely not at a high level
thats the way it'll probably go down. Steph has played in a pro tourney before i think, and there's tons of other guys across team sports who are scratch golfers.
So maybe a guy who plays in the NFL but then plays PGA tourneys in the spring.
I could see Bronny doing professional gaming while he leads a G-League roster.

That was going to be Nate Robinson, but Basketball was the path with the most longevity.
Nate and Ted Ginn were the likely the last two who had a legitimate shot at competing in two sports.

Yes my great nephew in about 14 years.
I don’t think so.
Sports have become so specialized over the years. If you play baseball, you’re playing it all year long. High school. Summer leagues. Traveling teams.
There’s no room to play another sport enough to get good at it. Certainly not good enough to go pro in both.
You can argue that not playing a variety of sports is bad for long term health and development. And you might be right. But that’s not changing this trend any time soon.
Even if you want to point at guys like Kyler Murray or Jameis Winston or Tim Tebow, ultimately none of them were able to play both at the highest level.

Those seasons basically run parallel
