Not saying he’s the best athlete, but deserves to be in this conversation:

Rafael Nadal. Soccer to Tennis. At just over 6 feet, could he play ball like Nash? I think so. Dude is in as good ‘shape’ as anyone in the world…

Randy Moss people. The guy ran as fast as Deion, is 6’4, has a 51 inch vertical(better then Lebron or even Jordan) was a highschool football, baseball, basketball, and track star. “He’s the best high school athlete i’ve ever seen” “he has the most range out of any centerfielder I have ever seen” “Lets be realistic, Randy Moss is just a better athlete then anyone else on the field” “Watching a 7th grader that could dunk was special” “He is like a taller version of Deion Sanders” “Randy Moss looked like an olympic high hurdler there(as he jumps someone)” That’s just some of the quotes i’ve heard about Randy Moss. Moss could have been a star in Basketball, Football(as he is, 3rd all time in TD passes, a bunch of records), track, baseball, and probably more sports.

I don’t know of another athlete that has his height, speed, verticle, and the rest of his skillset. The only person that is even close is Calvin Johnson.

“Bo Jax was a beast running the ball but he wasn’t known as a RB who would catch the ball out of the backfield.”

Sorry for the typo……

T3,

I can’t argue against the fact that Deion was not a good tackler. But in his prime, it didn’t matter as much because QBs were scared to throw the ball in his direction.

But understand that for everything some players do great, they have things that they don’t do so well. A few examples – Lebron James. Although he’s having his best year at doing it, he’s not a great FT shooter (73 % for his career). Wilt was a ‘freakish’ athlete but he was a terrible FT shooter. Bo Jax was a beast running the ball but he wasn’t known as a RB would would catch the ball out of the backfield. Also, he was an excellent baseball player but fielding the ball was not one of his strengths.

So, my point is that eventhough a player may be a great athlete, he or she may have or will have flaws. But, they’re still great athletes nonetheless.
