Most Athletic: Wilt

If we are looking at athleticism alone, it is probably some obscure benchwarmer. I lost count how many super athletic freaks were there in the NBA that just weren't that good at basketball.

I’d argue he’s not just the greatest athlete in nba history, he’s the greatest natural athlete in documented human history

7’1 with elite hand-eye coordination, track speed, a 40” vertical, and strong as an ox. He’s a mythical creature. Idk how you could possibly find a more well-rounded overall athlete than that

Jim Thorpe; being the greatest athlete isn’t just about measurables, it’s also about what you accomplish.

He is a mythical creature. As in, most of what is said about him is a myth.

Or just Michael Jordan again

For real, there are some absolutely insane athletes in random European leagues. Look up Yves Pons highlights.
