Baseball player in the NBA?
MLBs versus NBAs in b-ball. To watch it play out is the stuff of fantasy, right?
I mean, we won't see it happen. High dollar contracts and nightmares of at least ankle and hand injuries for anyone involved. So, it really wouldn't happen as some exhibition.
The two-sport athletes of acclaim in my generation were Bo Jackson and Neon Deion Sanders. Neon did the double spot in Atlanta. If Jackson was home at Arrowhead too?

Listening to the waves and heard a Reds pitcher played college baskets, while Billy Hamilton claimed he was second best baller on the team. Steve Nash of NBA fame had the footwork and fancy free soccer skills. It'd be interesting to assemble a list of high caliber cross-sporting.
Dave Logan, Dave Winfield (who I knew from my baseball cards), and Mickey McCarty are three people in history who have been drafted in three sports.
An actor, Chuck Connors seems to be an interesting character.
