Multi-sport athletes are a rare breed. These outstanding athletes didn’t limit themselves to one sport, but instead flourished in a number of sports and leagues. Among the greatest who have ever competed professionally in more than one sport are legends like Michael Jordan, Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Jim Thorpe, Charlie Ward, Herschel Walker, Lionel Conacher, Jackie Robinson, and Jim Brown, but only one can come out on top.
For this list, we’ve chosen professional athletes who have attained some level of success in multiple sports.

Michael jordan
Nate Ebner and Tim Tebow
The fact Otto Graham isn't on this list is sin
And after football Jim Brown became an actor
No non-Americans?
y not boxers who became mma fighters its 2 totally different sports
for once, mojo more or less gets it right. they could have given honorable mention to Eric Lindros tho.
I think Clara Hughes should be on the list. She is the only athlete male or female to ever win multiple medals at both the summer and winter olympics. And she did it between 1996-2010, so it was in modern times which makes it even more impressive.
Michael Jordan shouldn't be on this list he wasn't that great at baseball like Bo Jackson or Deion sanders
Jordan was a shitty baseball player
Jim Thorpe
most of the players belong to Baseball, basketball and rugby what's that chemistry . Andrew Flintoff was a cricketer then he moved over boxing ring Also.
No Danny Ainge?
hmmmmm I wonder who could possibly be number 1…
Otto Graham won an NBA title as a point guard and an AAFL title as a QB in the same year.
Where's Dave Debusschere? Nfl and MLB
Chuck Connors… Dave DeBusschere… Wilt Chamberlain… Danny Ainge… Tom Glavine… Willie Gault… Renaldo Nehemiah… Bob Gibson… Clara Hughes… anybody with a medal in Modern Pentathlon…
No Otto Graham?
Jim Thorpe had better be #1. He was the greatest athlete of all time. Mildred "Babe" Didrikson Zaharias should be the highest woman.
i have dion sanders baseball card
If wrestling were considered a sport, three names immediately come to mind. The Rock, Goldberg and Steve McMichael. Steve McMichael and Goldberg had good football careers. McMichael with the Chicago Bears, Goldberg with the Atlanta Falcons. And The Rock was about to start a professional football career when he got injured and ventured into wrestling. Roman Reigns also comes to mind. He played football too
Since wrestlers weren't included on this list, you should do a list of wrestlers who competed in pro sports. Lots of names would come up
Who gives a fuck about Babe Diedrichson?
LMFAO… ask mojo aborting yet another top 10 list. They have MJ on here??? Seriously? He was not a good baseball player. They leave off guys like Dave Winfield and John Elway… Smh.
aw manny pacquiao should be in the list he was a playing coach in basketball in a professional basketball league called PBA hahhahahaahhaha
Michael Jordan was a bust in baseball come on
Michael Jordan 63 points is an all-time record they must have forgot about Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100
deion at 3? wtf? he won the world series and the super bowl and was mvp for least 1 of those
801-718-8623
bo was inspiring! great memories watching him! I can't think of an athlete I'd rather take the lunch! So many good times watching him
