He could hit 500ft HR's and run 80 yards for a TD, until injuries got him. Dion Sanders is another great two sport athlete.
Wilt's athleticism transcends time much like Bo (one of my all-time favorite athletes) and Prime. I think Wilt's place in time actually argues more in his favor as he didn't have modern equipment, medical, training or dietary advantages that someone like LeBron has had. And that's no nock on LeBron.
