Pictured is the bronze statue of Jim Thorpe at the Jim Thorpe Museum in Bricktown in Oklahoma City. Thorpe is depicted in a period football uniform with a football under his left arm and holding a leather helmet in his right. The statue itself is on a two-tiered red brick base. The Associated Press ranked him as the `greatest athlete` from the first 50 years of the 20th century, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted him as part of its inaugural class in 1963.
