In today's episode, I'd like to present to you one of the most important athletes of the first part of the 20th century. Jim Thorpe
James Francis Thorpe, better known as Jim, has made himself a place in the history books of at least three sports.
A two time Olympic champion in decathlon and pentathlon, champion of the Major League Baseball with the New York Giants and a member of the very first NFL all star team,
Jim Thorpe can be considered as one of the best athletes of all time.

French version of this video : • 🏈 Le plus grand athlèt... - Спорт
he also was in 3 single track and field events in the same olympics on top of the 2 multi sport ones and finished 4th, 7th and 11th in those. he also played a little pro golf, won a national ball room competition and even a yacht race
Thanks for your comment. I didn't find any good sources on the fact he played professional golf but the man is an absolute legend.
@@Ad-excelsum i forgot where i found that. but i had read it somewhere. . if i can find it again i will try to get you a link
btw. the person i would put 2nd gratest athlete of all time is Wilt chamberlain and for best overall female athlete, Babe Didrickson (not sure if spelled her name right) but she was almost the female version of jim
I read it too but couldn't find any evidence, so I didn't put it in my video. As for Didrickson and Chamberlain, they are definitely on the list.
Out of curiosity, which moment from Chamberlain's career would you have me highlighted? His 100 points game?
@@Ad-excelsum hard to say or pick just one. 100 points is incredible. i don't care if you do it against a high school team. still impressive. of course there is the 55 rebounds (against bill russell). or the clip where he blocks kareem's skyhook three times in one posession is kind of intriquing , or a clip of him blocking a shot where his hand is almost even with the top of the backboard. or just simply the 70 recoreds 50 years after retiring. really hard to pick a single thing
Very moving, thanks !
Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for your comment!
Badass athlete
An absolute legend!
His Great Grandfather was CHIEF BLACKHAWK! 🤗
Thank you for the info.
Had no idea but I'm not surprised.
Hope you enjoyed the video
The fact that the majority of people don’t know Jim Thorpe, is a travesty.
Absolutely agreed!
I'm Native American
It's not a travesty, it's just life.
