AVN and Sports

Bo Jackson was a professional Football and Baseball player of legendary status. He was faster, stronger and could do things other great players couldn’t. He still holds the unofficial 40 yard combine dash in the NFL at 4.12 seconds. Incredible for a big strong 225 pound running back. In baseball, a fly ball going long in the outfield he would leap for the catch. Normally in this situation if the outfield wall was in the way you jumped and crashed into the wall. Not Bo Jackson, he ran up the wall, turned dropped and would laser throw the ball from the outfield to home plate. If he struck out and did not hit a homer, he would break the bat over his thigh like a match stick. Normal big good players do not do that. Bo Jackson unfortunately developed hip AVN after a traumatic tackle in a football playoff game, injuring his hip. The hip AVN was not immediately diagnosed, and his hip did the most feared complication of AVN, an accelerated rapid joint degeneration occurred destroying his hip joint.
