Jesse Owens overrated. He was the Larry Bird of his era.

[Mr Bones]

Sure he won 4 Olympic Gold Medals and his long jump record stood for 25 years, but in today's track & field, he wouldn't even get a college scholarship. See? He's overrated.

oh, wait:

See?:lol He's overrated:lmao

LMAO, Jesse Owens had PRs that would get him D-1 offers from all over the country:lmao:

Personal Bests: 100 – 10.2 (1936); 200 – 20.7 (1936); LJ – 8.13 (1935).

All he would have to do is take 21st century designer drugs to compete w/ Bolt just like every other sprinter, thb:lol

You are bringing false equivalencies. Jessie Owens was an athletic freak thus isn't a good analogy for Bird.

By today's standards he wouldn't be an athletic freak in a high school state track meet.
