Some athletes are so multi-talented and they excel at whatever sport they choose. Some famous names among them include Aaron Judge, Tom Brady, Mookie Betts, and now Brandon Crawford. While everyone knows Crawford from the San Francisco Giants, he can apparently play basketball too. The shortstop already has some impressive titles under his belt when it comes to baseball. But he’s not bad at shooting hoops either.

Winning the Gold Glove award three times, Crawford was also a two-time winner of the MVP title with the UCLA Bruins. The Giants player has achieved accolades from his time playing college baseball, so no wonder the San Francisco team drafted him in the 4th round of the amateur draft in 2008. But if a recent video is anything to go by, Crawford could have easily gone in the NBA direction too.

The Golden State Warriors from San Francisco were left surprised as the shortstop strolled up to the court and shot a side three-pointer rather easily. The NBA team practices at Chase Center in the Mission Bay neighborhood, where Crawford was seen. The official Twitter account of the Warriors posted a video to Twitter, captioning it, “@bcraw35 made his way down to Chase Center and casually drained a 3-pointer ?”

Fans, of course, were left in surprise and awe.

Apparently, Crawford was a three-sport player in school, with the third one being football. He probably would have aced either of the other sports if he hadn’t chosen baseball.

Which other MLB stars are all-rounders?

Crawford is not alone in his multi-sport skills. He’s joined by names like Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts, and retired NFL star, Tom Brady. Judge was also a three-sport player in school with the same sports as Crawford; as was Brady. While the Yank played the position of wide receiver, Brady was, of course, the quarterback.

But unlike the others, Mookie Betts is a champion bowler. His love of bowling is well documented, as he regularly attends tournaments across the country. The Dodgers’ player has scored a perfect game at least 5 times and recently found himself toe-to-toe with the number one player in the world.
