    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?     He's overrated

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

    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

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

    Op you should know that Owens would get killed by hschool runners today due to advanced Eastern Bloc training that didn't exist back then.

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