I'm sure that there are more, but this list is extremely small. And these guys are very gifted athletes, and less than 1% are good enough to play or get drafted in multiple sports.

Right, even Jordan was just a mediocre minor league baseball player when he tried to give that a shot. Everyone says Lebron James could be a professional football player if he spent a couple weeks practicing. I don't think that's true, there is so much more to going pro in any given sport than basic athleticism.
