That is an unavoidably subjective question (how far down the list of best NBA players would I give that label to?). Let's say that I interpret this as one of:

- Elected to his sport's hall of fame
- Very likely, in the QM's opinion, to be elected to his sport's hall of fame in the future

Then: Yes.

Looks like he played it in high school, but no, he's not famous as a baseball player.

Was this person playing (or are they still playing) their sport professionally or at the college level at any point in the 21st century?

17 questions in, and there are still lots of people he could be. Let's keep in mind the latitude requirement.

3/4 of the western United States is south of 45, and all of the eastern half. It will eliminate a few, but not many.

Well there is northern Maine and a tiny bit of New Hampshire, but I doubt many NFL players are from there.
