Bo played in an era where the games were tougher and more rugged hes simply a legendary stud!! I'd say him & Jordan are the 2 greatest athletes of the 20th Century!!
There are a lot of great athletes but non with as many natural skill sets as him. Nobody who is 225lbs. Can run a 40 in 4.13 and hit 480 ft home runs, throw a absolute laser right on the money to home plate from the warning track.and nobody walks off the diamond straight into pro football no training camp no pre season and is hands down the best RB in the league. Nobody will ever be like him again in our lifetime.
So stupid. I know they can..It's ESPN, they have them. Im leaving this great interview right now half way through cause I am going to look for his highlights.
Imagine living through an era where you got to see Bo Jackson and Dion Sanders playing at the same time. Two of the greatest athletes ever. No one today could shine their shoes.
He was my childhood hero and the reason I grew up a Raiders fan. Then you add in the rest of the team and they were awesome. He is one of the greatest to ever play and it was a truly sad day when he destroyed his hip.
The younger generation has some good players but they will never understand the greatness of players like Bo Jackson, Deon Sanders, and Michael Jordan. Pure athletic talent and competitive spirit. I hate Bo hurt himself because we can only speculate how great he could be. I feel fortunate to be able to witness it in real life.
@@ericsigersmith2831 I'm an LSU fan but man Bo was in another league. Really a man amongst boys. He is by far my favorite athlete of all time. His ESPN 30 for 30 was great.
I loved watching him play anything. What a class act that deserves so much respect from all of us. He should be the role model for all athletes of today.
The Bo Jackson interviews never gets old. Bo speaks very well he has overcame so much adversity there are very few human beings who displays such humility and authenticity.
Man O Man!!! Bo Jackson was beyond words. It doesn’t matter your vocabulary and how eloquently you speak, YOU CANNOT truly give his talents justice through vocabulary. Not only was Bo a SUPER athlete, he was wise beyond his years. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love that he said it's not up to him to decide his legacy but his fans, what a class act! I've been nicknamed Bo since 1990 because I was such a huge fan of his.
One of the saddest things I've ever seen was when he tried to continue baseball after his injury and watching him try to run. To see such a strong, talented man attempt to do what his mind told him to do but, watch his body say no was heartbreaking.
I'm glad I was of age to witness this man. Truly one of the best athletes in history. He was 100 percent class so you could never root against him even if he was playing your team as well
It’s VERY SAD that Bo’s career was cut short by a hip injury! One can only imagine the number of records he would have broken if he had continued to be HEALTHY! THE BEST ATHLETE EVER!
The Story of Bo Jackson shows that life isn't fair. He is such a Great Dude!! I wish he could of had a long career in either baseball or football. I will ALWAYS have a lot of Love and Respect for Bo Jackson.
@JedirieFTW that injury was insane, Bo explains how because of the way he was Tackled from behind, he pulled his hip out of the socket and tore and artery. And he just got up and walked it off. JESUS Christ! It's as much a Shame as has ever happened in sports. The Sports World was greatly cheated out of what could have been the first person to go into the football and baseball HOF. Not to mention that Bo is nothing short of being a great person not just athlete. Bo is that rare human, that the stories never need to be embellished and often don't do them justice.
This video would have been better with the clips shown that they were talking about. But Bo was the greatest athlete I've ever had the pleasure of watching. The man was truly gifted.
Man , I was lucky to watch him here in Chicago . He is a great and humble legend , many young players should aspire to have his demeanor , a class act .
WoW I can't believe you said he seems like a wonderful person. Causes I don't get or understand it about what you're saying about that cause on the real That one just flew over the top of my head from what you just said so plumb your break's a little bit with that one okay
Bo is just too modest of a Human being...and he definitely could play both sports still today in his prime...his talent and athleticism was just that extraordinary...We(All athletes of every sport)Love You Bo always & forever!💯
I'm 41 years old. I was 12 when Bo hurt his hip. Of all the athletes in this world, this is the one man I want to meet. He's humble and he has old school class. I will always look up to this man What a star!!!
Same. I got to see him in 91 or 92. I didn't care for baseball because I was 10 or 11, but I sure knew of Bo. My dad always talked him up, I just watched him the whole time
The great Bo Jackson was a superhuman being.. everything this guy did whether on the football field or the baseball field is otherworldly.. it was totally insane watching this guy play football and baseball back in those days this guy's by far my favorite athlete of all time❤❤❤
Bo Jackson was electrifying to watch. My favorite player of all time. Thanks Bo for the memories. You definitely did the right way. You brought it every time I saw you in a game live. And back then Joe Montana was my favorite. Then here comes Bo . Thanks again sir . Wish you and your family the best.
Bo was the greatest running back I ever saw and a terrific baseball player too. No scandals with him, just went out and proved himself every game. He had a reputation as a great guy and I never heard a bad word about him from anyone.
I saw Bo hit a homerun in the ninth inning with the bases loaded to win the game at Angel stadium when I was about 12 years old. We screamed and yelled. He hadn't played the whole game, they brought him out for that play. We got free baseball card books that night. I still have mine. It holds all of my bo Jackson cards (and two Michael Jordan: white Sox cards). Thank you for the inspiration Bo
I really appreciate this footage and I watched all the moments mentioned live and I am so grateful to witness such an amazing guy and athlete. Seeing the Bengals game where he got injured was painful to all of his fans as well as himself.
Every kid I knew back then had the iconic “Bo Knows,” poster with him in shoulder pads holding the baseball bat. EVERYONE! What a tragedy it was to have his career cut short. What an amazing athlete he was.
There’s a video of Bo explaining to a child who he is and what accomplishments he had back in the day. It’s equally heartwarming and humbling to see his character.
He threw someone out at home from the warning track in left field in the air. Most incredible throw I ever saw. And, by the way, he was a great running back too.
Such a ridiculously gifted athlete and no arrogance very humble
6'1" 230 lbs and ran a 4.13 40-yard dash. He could also hit a baseball 500 feet.
Unreal.
More about 240 lbs
And he could throw a baseball at 320 ft
And had a fucking cannon for an arm.
@@erikpuka2627 227
@@Sosamygoat6804 and could do it with no momentum off of his back foot. Bo with no injuries, is a hall of famer in both sports.
Bo Jackson is the GREATEST athlete ive ever seen.
X G both two amazing athletes
I agree, same here... just another level... If you haven't seen Dion Sanders Bo Jackson moment on the Dan Patrick show.. recommend listening to Prime
Yes
Charles ,you are %100 correct
Charles Crimes yup me too. There’s been no one with as much natural talent since.
Bo is not only the greatest athlete I've ever seen, he's also a class act person - then and now...
Bo had it IN for Seattle.
Bo Jackson throwing a frozen rope from the outfield and getting Harold Reynolds out at home was absolutely incredible!
I never saw a throw like that it was insane.
Flat footed from the warning track !
And Harold Reynolds says it was the greatest moment in sports.
Such a insane throw, how his arm didn't go with the ball I'll never know.
Bo said he should have stayed at third.
Credits others during the interview. Class personified.
But fraudulently claims he ran over the box...wrong
We were all cheated out of seeing greatness by his injuries.
Injury
There are a lot of parallels between Bo Jackson and Gale Sayers. Two of the greatest athletic talents ever, both with careers cut short by injury.
I loved him
I’m old enough to remember him in a cartoon. I saw that game.
@INTOtheVOID11 the dislocated hip didn't end his career, the necrotizing cartilage from steroids did
Bo played in an era where the games were tougher and more rugged hes simply a legendary stud!! I'd say him & Jordan are the 2 greatest athletes of the 20th Century!!
Mike Sharon deon Sanders
There are a lot of great athletes but non with as many natural skill sets as him. Nobody who is 225lbs. Can run a 40 in 4.13 and hit 480 ft home runs, throw a absolute laser right on the money to home plate from the warning track.and nobody walks off the diamond straight into pro football no training camp no pre season and is hands down the best RB in the league. Nobody will ever be like him again in our lifetime.
And Carl Lewis
We can’t forget The Greatest...Muhammad Ali. But Bo knows.
Mike don't put him with JORDAN . Bo COULD play baseball very well.
Why are they not showing these highlights in the background
So stupid. I know they can..It's ESPN, they have them. Im leaving this great interview right now half way through cause I am going to look for his highlights.
EGGZACKLY. Good interview. most all of them are with Bo. BUT REALLY . no videos ?
Where are the highlights
Bo trying to cross his legs and cover his package is very distracting. What's up with the hip..?
Cause espn sucks
Imagine living through an era where you got to see Bo Jackson and Dion Sanders playing at the same time. Two of the greatest athletes ever. No one today could shine their shoes.
Brian Jordan went from football to baseball around that time too. Wasn’t both at the same time tho.
@@RollTideHoss19 Jordan played for the Dodgers for a minute, another stud.
@@billysyms5761 I remember him more for the cards and the braves. More the braves bc I’m in braves country lol
AND Barry Sanders!!
Bo, we heard you jumped over a 20 ft wall without any equipments during your 96' workout
Bo: no, it was 17 ft and I had shoes on
Closest man we had to "Superman" in real life
I see him as a Samson of our life time.
Ricky, c'mon, don't be ridiculous...
@@geraldrios2936 Who else could play at that level in different sports? Right now. Who else has?
Luke cage
HE REALLY WAS ! THANX BO !
Growing up in the 90's he was the man. Still one of my favorite athletes.
He was my childhood hero and the reason I grew up a Raiders fan. Then you add in the rest of the team and they were awesome. He is one of the greatest to ever play and it was a truly sad day when he destroyed his hip.
‘I told my wife she was pregnant” - Bo Knows .....lol!
"no, I informed my wife she was pregnant. She didn't know"
😂🤣
Such a humble man, always crediting others for his success. A true role model
The younger generation has some good players but they will never understand the greatness of players like Bo Jackson, Deon Sanders, and Michael Jordan. Pure athletic talent and competitive spirit. I hate Bo hurt himself because we can only speculate how great he could be. I feel fortunate to be able to witness it in real life.
Dang this guy is and has always been a class act.
Bo is just SOOO cool. Could listen to him all day!
Bo Know’s Class.
Imagine what his career would’ve look like if he was able to stay healthy.
He was my idol as a kid. I had posters of him on my wall and collected all his baseball and football cards
love the kids reaction.
“thats pretty awesome.”
he is respectfull and impressed but stays cool and collected, doesn loos it.
What a humble man and an athlete. Love you Bo. God bless!
You are absolutely right. He definitely deserves an award named in his honor, in both sports.
For a man who is so magnificent at everything he does to be so humble is. . . .amazing and only adds to his legend.
Man this guy was absolutely unreal. There will NEVER be another Bo Jackson. Favorite athlete of all time.
Same amen and war eagle ! One of the reasons I'm a auburn fan

Now I gotta go watch some Bo clips... talking about it with no clips does it no justice.
exactly...and now I have to go watch some clips too
Man O Man!!! Bo Jackson was beyond words. It doesn’t matter your vocabulary and how eloquently you speak, YOU CANNOT truly give his talents justice through vocabulary. Not only was Bo a SUPER athlete, he was wise beyond his years.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just listening to this man talk makes me cry....so much inspiration to so many people back in those times. NOBODY was better than Bo. NOBODY.
Legend... pure athleticism... he could run a 4.15 40 yard dash
Charlamagne 4.12
4.13
Ya it’s weird.. he was sooo thick .. don’t understand how he can be so fast
First MLB hit, routine ground ball to 2nd and he beats the throw! There will never be another like him.
@coffeeinthemorning was electronic
Bo still knows.
I love that he said it's not up to him to decide his legacy but his fans, what a class act! I've been nicknamed Bo since 1990 because I was such a huge fan of his.

Bo Jackson, what a great athlete, & a great gentleman, too .
What a disservice by ESPN of not showing the highlights while one of the greatest of our lifetime is sitting there. He was truly AMAZING 😉
I'm glad I was of age to witness this man. Truly one of the best athletes in history. He was 100 percent class so you could never root against him even if he was playing your team as well

I remember Bo,sfirst year at Auburn i kept hearing this Bo guy and I said, well what happened to Vincent Jackson? Is he gonna lose his spot?
Who knew? H Ha
@JedirieFTW Bo's injury was first a result of him being so GD strong and it went undiagnosed at first because of how Tough he was.
@JedirieFTW that injury was insane, Bo explains how because of the way he was Tackled from behind, he pulled his hip out of the socket and tore and artery. And he just got up and walked it off.

True legend and is the greatest running back of all time
Nope. Emmitt Smith.

He could have been if he didn't get hurt.
Emmit?? 😂😂😂😂😂 Barry Sanders...
By far.
This video would have been better with the clips shown that they were talking about. But Bo was the greatest athlete I've ever had the pleasure of watching. The man was truly gifted.
I'm lucky to have watched Bo. I've collected his cards sense i was a kid and still buying them today.
Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders...once in a lifetime and what a class athlete
Unforgettable mr. Bo Jackson, we were blessed to be on that generation who witnessed your greatness.
He's so amazing. Just his outlook on his history and everything. It makes you admire him even more. Now I'm off to look at clips.
He’s the reason I decided to pick up archery.
Lol
🙏
He can shoot a bow with his feet
So gifted and such a gentleman. Like the way he gives credit and homage to others despite being so unique.
Man , I was lucky to watch him here in Chicago . He is a great and humble legend , many young players should aspire to have his demeanor , a class act .

He was so much fun to watch as a kid. I remember collecting his baseball and football cards. I had a card notebook of just Bo. Fun times!!!
One of the greatest memories of my childhood was getting to see Bo Jackson hit a homerun at Royals stadium!!! Best day ever...
What a humble champion. Is without a doubt the greatest gifted athlete in my lifetime and I played Hockey my whole life!

what an amazing man. I'm so glad I got to see him play both sports as a young adult. I'll never forget.
I watched that Monday Night game live...... good times. Bo was an athlete on another level, just the best player on the field, without a doubt.
Bo knows humility. He is a personal inspiration to me and my children will know Bo, because his legend grows in our house to this day.
Tyreek Hill 5'-10" 185 lbs 4.29 40 time

Well Tyreek is probably faster now like 4.1s range
