Most Popular In Their Prime (Streets Wise); Prime Time; Barry; Vick; or Bo Jackson?

[wstcoastgotti]

For those not saying Bo or Prime you must be too young, and Im not hatin, yall just dont realize how popular these two were.

Bo knows was a household term, everybody followed Bo Jackson.

And Prime, I would be all spatted up for my bball games just cus of this dude

 

[dirtylicious]

Sanders, just b/c he stuck around longer
Bo would have been #1 but that injury took him out prematurely

 

[q46tothee]

yall just don't know....

 

[sir rob a lot]

Around my way....its would have to be a tossup from Prime and Bo. IMO, Prime was more heavy in the streets.

Probably because Bubba Chuck never played in the NFL.

I assume OP mentioned all NFL players for a reason.

The question was which athelete was most popular in the streets/hood during their prime. If you don't think Jackie Robinson was a hero in the streets inthe 40's and 50's, you don't know history. Talk to any 70-80 year old black person about how much everyone looked up to this dude. He changedhistory. Maybe Joe Louis during his prime might be able match the same level of popularity.

I know he was a hero for all of America, but that wasn't the question.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yea I don't see why anyone would think Jackie WASN'T super popular amongst blacks LOL

 

[kicks off]

Bo Knows.

Pro Stars

I think Prime Time's personality might give him the slight edge over Bo...he had dudes wearing their visors backwards and flipped upside down

 

[shuges]

Then Vick or Bo.

The question specifically said STREETS WISE.

Prime was rocking gold chains and doing the flashy @!@# that most "street" cats was into.

On top of that, Deion played for popular teams (Yankees, Braves, Cowboys, Niners, Falcons) which all had huge followings.

Who the +*@+ was watching Kansas City back when Bo was playing? Quick, name 1 Royal Bo played with.

And

@ not one single person saying Barry.
