No big surprise here. Jim Thorpe is undoubtedly the greatest multi-sport athlete of all time. This guy did everything.

In 1912, Thorpe won Olympic gold in both the pentathlon and decathlon (both of which show ridiculous versatility). He played professional football for 13 years, Major League Baseball for seven years and professional basketball for at least two years.

It's hard to say which sport Thorpe was best known for considering his multitude of talents. As a professional football player, he was an All-Pro back. Statistically, his baseball numbers aren't staggering, but he was able to compete at the highest level. On the hardwood, Thorpe barnstormed all over the country alongside his fellow Native Americans, displaying an array of ability.

Simply put, anything Thorpe attempted athletically, he succeeded in. He is an American icon and a sports legend.
