That would be like nick bosa getting a sack then taking the offense down field as QB and scoring a TD
Except Shohei is leading on both sides. 200 threes in a season mightve led the league 30 years ago, but 300 is a better mark nowadays.
Edit: in the 1987-88 NBA season, Michael Jordan won Defensive Player of the Year, and on the offensive side of the ball….he was Michael Jordan.
Greatest athlete alive.
Being the best wide receiver on an NFL team, like a Jerry Rice, but also being a DB like Deion Sanders on the next possession…consistently.
Insanity
Comparing sports is pretty apples and oranges but I’d say it’s closer to being an elite offensive and defensive player in basketball rather than an elite quarter back doubling as an elite safety or something.
Like Connor McDavid scoring 153 points only playing as a center in the first two periods each game while playing every game as a goalie in the third period allowing at most one goal
Do people watch baseball or just Ohtani?
It’s like Joey chestnut slurping 100 glizzies and receiving all 3 Michelin stars for his own hotdog stand
What about Bo? Jackson
John stocktons passing on offense. Stealing ability on defense.
In football it would be like if Justin jefferson also played DB and was as good as say.. Jalen Ramsey. Play both sides of the ball, nearly every snap (or every other series) and ends the season with a stat line of:
128 receptions 10 Tds 6 INTs 81 tackles
Bo Jackson was an All Star and a Pro Bowler. Dieon Sanders played in a World Series and won a Superbowl
Realistically it would be like being an all-pro on both sides of the ball in the NFL. Don’t matter what position. Think of the Patriots utility guys but at an all pro level. Basketball it’s hard to say because there’s already amazing two way players and it’s just a different sport.
