Usain Bolt Vs. Every Sprinter In the History of the World Is Pretty Cool
This is going viral today on NY Times. Pretty cool shit. Makes me wonder whether my 40 time in elementary school still holds up as the fastest 40 of all time by a 6th grader. Probably not I suppose.
u can pretty much take this graph and compare it to every sport out there. So if you think the dream team in the 90′s is better than todays think again.
aids.
@rcht2370 yea because speed and basketball skills equate……..wow
not just speed its how we evolve in sports. If you look at this graph and all you get out of it is speed then you prb dont grasp much.
@rcht2370 what else is there to grasp with this graph? I think this whole video was about people getting faster
@2rcht2370, stop it top to bottom the 92 team is better than the 2012 team. The 20 year difference isn’t that significant
This years dream team has no answer for 1992′s dream team. 1992 would half court them to death. Game over, and 92 wins by 10+.
At the end it makes out like 3 seconds isn’t that significant between the 19th century and now. It’s a fucking 10 second race I’m pretty sure that’s a big improvement.
Oh yeah I totally buy the guy who counted to :12 in 1896 and told his child to tell his child to write it in a book to tell us today as totally accurate.
@rcht this edition of the US team won by 4 to a shitty Lithuania, whereas the dream team beat a stacked Lithuania team by 51. shut your mouth, case closed.
Look at it this way, Dream Team would have the best 4 big men as well as the best PG and best overall player. The current team doesn’t score at all in the post and good luck driving and finishing over Robinson and Ewing, the only way it would be close is if the 12 team was unconscious from the 3 point line, but i just dont see it happening
Humans can’t physically evolve in just a century. This graph shows how much more widespread sports are now, the development of training methods, increased knowledge of proper nutrition for runners, better equipment, etc.
Why did it take a bloody wanker to put rcht2370 in his place? You fuckers are giving me ulcers.
@rcht votes for Obama
This is startling to me, guys made the olympics in the 70′s and 80′s over 10 seconds? I fucking ran 11 flat in highschool, that was good for 2nd or 3rd rarely a first place finish. There was a guy on my team running 10.7′s in HIGHSCHOOL – what the fuck happened to make people faster in 20-30 years? Is it in the water? I mean I’m a white motherfucker I didn’t do anything special…I wouldve worked those fucking slow bastards from the 1930′s
