Legendary Facts About Legendary Players

[The Lonious Monk]

I was watching this video about a stint of time when MJ played PG and was racking up triple doubles and basically putting up prime Lebron type numbers.



I can't lie. I knew MJ had racked up some triple doubles at some point in his career. I didn't realize that he actually played PG and killed it at the position for a third of a season.

Anybody else got any crazy or lesser know facts about other greats from any sport?
