Was a huge Bo fan back in the day...Well, I still am, and occasionally still add to my Bo collection. Especially now that they're cheap.. I'm not even the slightest bit salty about how much value I lost on his cards either.
What's amazing is how awesome I remember him being, and then go on youtube to check out some highlight videos of him, and am still in awe...Living up to usually overblown childhood memories is one thing, exceeding that memory is incredible..
Now, statistically I'm not gonna say he belongs in the Hall of Fame(in either sport). But damned if I can't think of any player in any sport that was more famous(or more marketable) than Bo at the time.. With the obvious exception of his "ProStars" co-stars, Jordan and Gretzky. And I'd go as far as saying he was possibly more famous than Gretzky..
And for anyone interested. "Bo knows Bo" was a really interesting read..
