Bo for sure that's a fact bro... I've watched his 30/30 multiple times and it blows me away every time to hear some of those stories he was unbelievable best athlete in the history of the world!!!
@Drew Blood u don’t have to dunk, run back and forth on a court, jump all the time, and block with ur actual hands. Just because u have 2 run fast, doesn’t mean a sport is more athletic (baseball)
Bo was stronger and had better overall speed. Jordan was quicker, better agility and could jump higher. I would give the edge to Bo but it's close. Jordan was a freak athlete too.
@@tonye2400 , Jordan could not jump higher than Bo. There is a common misconception that because basketball players are usually taller than other athletes that this somehow gives them better jumping ability. That is just not true. Power and strength give you your jumping ability and football players, especially Bo Jackson, are stronger, on average, than basketball players. It is proven through the combines for both sports that football players have higher vertical jumps than basketball players. The top basketball players barely crack a 30 inch vertical at the combine. Whereas the top NFL players crack the 40 inch vertical at their combine. As far as quickness goes, Bo could get to his top speed, which was way faster than Jordan's, in a very short amount of steps. Jordan was to tall to be quicker than Bo as it took longer for his limbs to get going. Bo was a far more dominant athlete than Jordan ever was.
I think Jordan is the best basketball player of all time without question. Dude was an animal, all the time. Bo Jackson was/will be/always - best all around athlete to have ever lived. If he was around a thousand years ago we'd be singing songs of him and and his glory. Thankfully we can just watch his highlights or the documentary they did on him and realize that we saw it folks. We saw the best athlete to have ever played professional sports Edit: any physics guys out there wanna calculate the comparison of a full speed Bo hitting you head on? I bet it would literally kill someone
Bo could’ve went pro in 3 sports. Did in two. All star in both. No comparison. Wish they would’ve had a category for fighting. Apparently micheal Jordan intimidated b- ball players. Bo would’ve picked up mike over his head and broke him like that bat. No comparison.
Put it like this. MJ was a freak of nature. But there have been several people with similar builds with equal or even greater athleticism then him. Bo was 230 lbs and ran a 4.1 40. There has never even been CLOSE to another Bo Jackson. Especially to do it at the highest level like that. Case closed
Bo was a naturally gifted specimen of a human being, he could have excelled at any sport he wanted, if we are talking about greatest athletes, it is no constest, Bo Jackson for sure.
Bo is the greatest, and if he never had serious injuries, the world would marvel over him for centuries. I just giggle watching him. Bo was the King of Nike too, but the Jordan brand came to life when Bo needed to stop playing.
Grew up in Birmingham, Alabama and was so blessed to have meet them both in their prime. I will never I meet Michael Jordan at the Rick Wood classic in Birmingham. Rick Wood Field is the oldest functioning stadium in America. I know BO. though family Bessemer Alabama born and Raised
Wilt Chamberlain vs Bo Jackson would be how the finals would shake out. People seem to forget that Wilt was the original freak of nature athlete. Bigger, stronger, faster. If he were only 6' tall and white, he would be the 6 million dollar man, Steve Austin.
@@ObeyDarkYT01 Wilt was FAR stronger than Bo. He was probably close to as fast, though not as quick as Bo. Wilt was a track guy too, could run and jump better than should be possible for a guy that size.
In their sport, Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever. I don’t think you can say bo is the greatest football player or baseball player of all time.. but as an athlete “freak of nature” bo Jackson is the clear cut winner
@@michaelmayers3622 no you are right! I agree I don’t think anyone can be called the greatest ever, I’d rather say the best of their generation or the best while they played and I think many would agree MJ was. But nobody can ever prove the greatest ever, so I agree with you, it’s a kind of a stupid debate that people have all the time. When really all it comes down to is personal opinion
BlackBeltValeTudo Ya but Bo also could have qualified for the Olympic finals in the 100. So it’s most likely accurate. Who’s to say that that “error” didn’t make his time slower than it actually was.
@@masonbrevig3652 In the track and field world it's generally accepted that hand-times are typically faster than electronic times typically, just because of anticipation. Obviously it's possible, but it really can't be said with any great deal of confidence
VinylUnboxings I agree, hand times can be inaccurate and generally faster. That being said Usain Bolt (who is undoubtably faster than Bo but adjusting for spike/shoe technology advancements not a ton faster) ran a 4.2 40 in sneakers after not training for several months. And Usain is one of the slower elite sprinters in the first 50 meters of a hundred meter dash due to his size.
ANYBODY WHO KNOWS SPORTS, KNOWS BO WAS A BETTER ALL AROUND ATHLETE THAN MJ, MJ HAD TO PLAY MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL , BO PLAYED MLB AND NFL FOOTBALL AND WAS A STAR IN BOTH LEAGUES
JomoDaMusicMan bo is better at football and baseball don’t talk about all around me had more success in basketball then no did in football and baseball combined
JomoDaMusicMan why are you writing in caps? Second you clearly have an agenda or know nothing. Jordon humped in baseball in his late 20’s after not touching a baseball in a decade. The fact he hit 200 in double A is amazing. He also improved a lot by the end of his first yr. if he played through College and continued he would of been much better. Heck if he kept going and never went back for the second 3 peat he would of kept improving
@@robb5270 FIRST OF ALL THIS IS MY KEYBOARD, I PAID FOR IT, THEREFORE IF I WANT TO TYPE IN CAPS, THAT'S MY CHOICE, NOT YOURS. AND WHO THE FUCK IS JORDON. AND IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT JORDAN. MY POINT IS STILL VALID. HE PLAYED MINOR LEAGUE, WHILE BO PLAYED MAJOR LEAGUE AND IN NFL. SO STFU
@@robb5270 ALSO IF IS THE BIGGEST LITTLE WORD IN THE DICTIONARY. FOR EXAMPLE IF A BULL FROG HAD WINGS HIS ASS WOULDN'T BUMP THE GROUND. SO COME WITH SOMETHING ELSE , STUPID ASS KRA'KA
All of his natural athleticism without ever having lifted a weight or running a mile in his life. It's not just incredible, it's uncanny and unbelievable!
Arch Angel he didn’t lift “weights” but he did shoot a bow and arrow all the time and did various tedious activities which gave him freakish proportions and practical strength and skills
Wilt did not have a 40 inch vertical jump! If he did his head would be way over the rim when the jumps. However he can't even get his head at the rim, so his vertical is in the low 30's
Michael is one of the greatest champions, but when you to talk about raw power & speed and to be on top of the two professional sports? No contest, Bo all the way.
I got young shaq off pure physicals. Dude was fast as hell, quick, agile, bouncy, coordinated. I always factor in height cause I see what a difference it makes in the sports I've played.
Im going to get e-murdered for this, but I think a better comparison would have been Lebron Vs Bo. Not that Lebron is better, but he’s way more athletically gifted.
You must be under the age of 30 to say some thing so ridiculous. MJ was the better athlete by far. Lebron has size, that's it. Shooting, agility, speed, quickness, vertical. I mean, come on.
Last Dragon shooting isn’t part of athleticism. Lebron is a genetic freak. MJ was a fairly average build man, with insane work ethic and competitive mentality, and awesome basketball IQ.
I’m not saying Lebron is a better basketball player so untwist your panties XD Lebron is built like an NFL linebacker and can run as fast and jump as high or higher than most of the small guys in the NBA. Dudes 270 pounds and runs a 4.6. He could dominate literally any sport he put effort into.
Why is this even close? Michael Jordan is an amazing basketball player, but seriously? Bo Jackson is a beast of a man, and how could Michael even compare?
I think the fact of the matter is in order for you to generate enough force for your leg to be jerked out of place with his amount of muscle mass/strength is absolutely ridiculous. Whether it was him or the guy twisting... that physiologically doesn't make sense haha... 100% freak
Narrow margin. Bullshit. 1. Mike tried baseball. Bo excelled. Same field. One an allstar the other hell no. 2. Bo is bigger, faster, stronger, quicker, and played a tougher sport. 3. Bo would whip MJ's ass in a fist fight. Its not even close. Bo wins hands down. However, we are talking about nerds and geeks trying to gauge athleticism.... Not going to happen
Spider walked the wall this dude was a freak of nature i never seen anyother baseball player do that to bad he had that career ending injury he would had been the first 2 sports hall of famor no doubt 💪💥
Richard Davis That is how you measure both players reaction time fairly. Use the same sport and calculate the same ball speed and direction. Evaluate which player reacted quicker to the baseball. That will determine who has a better reaction time fairly.
You know, these young people comment on shit they don't know. They're comment on things they didn't see...Most don't even read... Bo was fast as hell....man! All these people that played including Deion Sanders will tell you Bo was no joke. Bo did things unhuman in his time. If Bo hadn't gotten hurt, Bo would have been in the NFL and Baseball Hall of Fame. People aren't lying to you when, they tell you this was a very athletic dude.
Bo Jackson was doing Parcore before it was even created. Michael Jordan Failed to do what Bo Jackson did. Bo Jackson was an All Star in 2 sports. Michael was an all star in 1.
Riley Dinkleman Relearning to play a sport he hasn’t played since childhood in 2 short years isn’t failure. It was a bucket list. A fair assessment could be given if he had devoted more years to develop the fundamentals and skillset.
Let's all appreciate a time when sports center actually went over a minute without mentioning Lebron, if hey had this shit now they'd give it Lebron without a second thought.
There is a difference between what it takes to be athletic in all sports. MJ body style would not have let him play football. He was custom built for basketball. I bet Bo didn't have a 50" vert. If we put them together and had them play 10 different sports bo would probably win everything but basketball and golf
I agree completely, there is a difference between greatest of their sport and greatest overall athlete. I would even put Dion Sanders about Michael, which isnt saying much either because everyone knows Dion was a freak. But Bo still stands above any athlete for overall prowess, could you imagine if he was 6'6 like Jordan? That man would have tore about rims.
What if Bo never got hurt! We were all cheated of his greatness! He was so strong he pulled his hip out of socket then it went back in but blood loss to the femur is what really what ended his career! Basically his hip joint died from the lack of blood!! Still the best athlete I ever seen in my 45 years on this Earth!!
Free - Range excuse my ignorance but who is Jim Thorpe as in the land of Oz IV never heard of him and in my personal opinion wilt Chamberlain is the greatest athlete that IV looked into and bo is unbelievable but wilt is not human.
@@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58 He was a Native American athlete and Olympian. He won the gold in Pentathlon and Decathlon. He played played college and Professional football, baseball, and basketball. He was an amazing man
Free - Range well that's unreal to be honest why isn't he more well known? It would appear as though he's been hidden in an attempt to hide how good man once was to today. Like I feel they do with wilt constantly because it pains them that people from not to far back where actually better physical and mentally than what we now are
Bo is the greatest athlete of all time hands down!
Wilt
@@juanio7036 hell no Will always be bo
Bo for sure that's a fact bro... I've watched his 30/30 multiple times and it blows me away every time to hear some of those stories he was unbelievable best athlete in the history of the world!!!
Herschel Walker is in the argument too.
You a lie
This is based off a pure athleticism. Bo was definitely one of the most athletic humans ever.
Man Im sure we can all agree, sure wish Bo was never hurt
Are we all just gonna ignore the fact that Bo and Jordan teamed up with a hockey player to fight bad guys on Saturday mornings?
BO way more well rounded athlete. He coulda been a great boxer too if he wanted to.
Bo is the ultimate athlete and a really good competitor but Michael is the best competitor and the best at their respective sport.
@Drew Blood u don’t have to dunk, run back and forth on a court, jump all the time, and block with ur actual hands. Just because u have 2 run fast, doesn’t mean a sport is more athletic (baseball)
Overrated
Bo knows...
Bo was also a sharp shooter and great at archery.
I like Primetime and Bo as top athletes.
Jordan's athleticism was sport-specific. He was built to play basketball. Bo was built to do almost anything.
What if there's a weight class involved lol
On an artificial hip, no less.
I'm sorry but Bo Jackson blows Jordan out the water as far as a complete athlete!

Best overall athlete? Bo
Agree 100%.
Bo is the goat but also let's have a moment of silence for all the ankles Jordan broke 😂
Bo VS Bruce Lee should be finals. Haha.
Jon-Paul Palmer FACTS
This is about greatest athlete and hands down Bo wins because Bo knows everything
No question. Bo
Back when sports center was sports
Bo Jackson and Jim Thorpe are the best two athletes in the last 100 years imo.
Free - Range excuse my ignorance but who is Jim Thorpe as in the land of Oz IV never heard of him and in my personal opinion wilt Chamberlain is the greatest athlete that IV looked into and bo is unbelievable but wilt is not human.
@@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58 He was a Native American athlete and Olympian. He won the gold in Pentathlon and Decathlon. He played played college and Professional football, baseball, and basketball. He was an amazing man
Free - Range well that's unreal to be honest why isn't he more well known? It would appear as though he's been hidden in an attempt to hide how good man once was to today. Like I feel they do with wilt constantly because it pains them that people from not to far back where actually better physical and mentally than what we now are
@@n.w.owhoknowstheshadowknow58 He is well known really. He played before Wilt the Stilt. Wilt was an amazing athlete without a doubt.
lol sorry no white boy gonna compete.
Jordan's conditioning and thirst to win was much higher than bo's.
Bo jackson no question.
Bo was the greatest athlete of all time, MJ was the most dependable and reliable person to have on your team, both amazing athletes.
