It follows the Illinois resident’s sporting life at high school, Auburn, Kansas City, Los Angeles and Chicago. It is full of great legendary stories of Bo. The documentary portrayed him as Adrian Peterson and Ken Griffey Jr. combined.
Frank Dye, Auburn's football coach and AD, told the Auburn baseball coach Hal Baird "you'll be coaching the greatest athlete that ever lived."
"I know he's great but come on,” replied Baird. “As time went on, I came to believe that it is absolutely true,"
Hall of Fame teammates George Brett, Royals, and Howie Long, Raiders, were praising Bo for his knowledge and athleticism. He is apart of sports mythology with Jim Thorpe, Jackie Robinson and now Bo Jackson. He is truly a once in a generation athlete.
This might be biased because I grew up loving Bo, he even made me a White Sox fan for a short time while aspired to be him. As a child, I dreamed to be a MLB All-Star and NFL Pro Bowler like Bo. Now I know that was an unattainable dream for everyone and Bo was the greatest.
Rating: A
One of the best 30 for 30’s yet.
