nikka Gatlin ran a 4.42 in the 40 at the Tennessee Pro Day.
shyt y'all asses down nikkas
Do y'all think Gatlin and Demps would be running track if they was good at football.
Demps dreamed to be an NFL player as a youngin. nikkas in the USA doesn't dream about the Olympics.
except attributes to be olympic level sprinters mean nothing
andre degrasse is 5'9 155bs
tyson gay is 5'10 165
so what attributes are you talking about?
YOu either HAVE IT, or you don't have it. Going by what your saying every 7 foot athlete should be dominating in the nba,
What you're also forgetting is the doping programs. That's one of the main things I mentioned as to what top football talents would have to do in order to compete on those levels and crack those sub 10 100s. These top track athletes now weren't cracking sub 10 until they started doping either. And yes I'm aware football and bball athletes are probably doping but it isn't the same doping track athletes are doing.What's being lost in this conversation is that Jamaica has a population roughly the same size as the city of Chicago. Them being able to produce Bolt, Powell and Blake goes against conventinal wisdom. We are talking 3 of the 5 fastest men in history.

the coli y'all :haha:
compare the 40 yard dash to the 100m
I already said top flight SPRINTERS are at their highest speed at 50 meters
for the 100 you have to be able to change gears from your power, to your cruiser speed, then to your final quick turn over speed the last 20 yards. So a lot goes into it. The forty, if you have strength and you are lean enough all you need to get a good time is how quickly you get out the gate.
compare the 40 yard dash to 100m y'all

Last comment...it's also been A LONG ass time since the US had track athletes that were household names. If I went and asked 100 kids ages 5-10 if they wanted to run like justin Gatlin, 97 wouldn't know him. If I asked if they wanted to be cam newton or lebron....they're gonna say yes. When I was a kid, I knew flo jo, Joyner kersee, Carl Lewis on GP, Michael Johnson made "MJ" into a trifecta (Jackson and jordan). That does a lot to get people interested, when was the last time we had a T&F athlete with that level of notoriety? JA has ascended since Bolt stepped up/out....that's not coincidence.

nikka you're the one that brought up Jeff Demps 40 dumb nikka
yeah idiot, I borught up jeff demps because he had ONE OF THE FASTEST 40 times ever yet could not run a sub 10 100 time. To show you how a 40 means NOTHING compared to a 100m race.
