Great athletes as well, but when you consider all athletic attributes ( size, speed, arm strength, hand eye coordination, jumping ability, and power) it's hard not to consider Bo the best athlete from the state.

It is also hard not to consider two of the greatest Olympians of all time not the greatest athlete from the state. Track and field no less, not some bullshite event.

I'm not asserting he isn't. In fact, since I never saw those others play I would personally put him first but those others have a valid claim.
