The decathlon winner is usually considered the greatest athlete of all time. Check this article out: http://www.muscleprodigy.com/the-10-biggest-athletic-freaks-of-all-time-arcl-1124.html. I'd say it is Bryan Clay. The 5’10, 180 lb. Clay was tested by the SPARQ, which is a standardized test for athleticism. “SPARQ” is an acronym for Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction and Quickness. In the football test, Clay recorded a football score of 130.40, the highest ever recorded. By comparison, Reggie Bush scored a 93.38 on the test. Clay has a vertical leap of 43.5 inches, one of the highest no step vertical jumps in NBA/NFL Combine history. He ran the 30-yard sprint (distance from home plate to first base) faster than Jacoby Ellsbury, one of the fastest major league baseball players and had the same SPARQ rating in baseball as him. Clay performed all tests, and his other ratings were: SOCCER 96.50, BASEBALL 102.00, BASKETBALL 90.00 and ATHLETIC ASSESSMENT 145.00. His basketball SPARQ rating is the better than every professional basketball player including Derrick Rose, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and Dwayne Wade.
