Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5267771, member: 833"] The answer to the original question is: Football- Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders. Stats only begin to describe the things these two could do. Basketball - Dominique Wilkins is the best ATHLETE to never win an NBA title. Despite being lazy and defense optional for most of his career, he was the Human Highlight Film. The things he could do with his body were breathtaking. He found religion on defense late in his career, but he no longer had the talent around him on the Hawks to challenge for a title. An example of what a freak Wilkins was is that he blew out his Achilles in late January 1992, at the age of 32, and returned to start the next season and average 29.9 points and finish 5th in MVP voting. For at least the next 25 years, no NBA player made close to that kind of recovery from an Achilles. [/QUOTE]
