Whole NBA on Noah Lyles head rn

You don’t think Isiah Stewart from pistons is benching 400+?

GREG SHEPARD ON KARL MALONE: People always ask me how much can Karl Bench Press. I give them this dead pan look and say, "About 350 pounds ... are you impressed?" They sort of wrinkle their forehead and answer, "Yeah, I guess." But, you just know they wanted to hear something like 500 pounds.

Anything over 300 lbs. on that bench is a lot of weight. That's why when you see NFL Linemen push 600 lbs+ it's

Most I got was 6 reps on a bench press at 225 at a height/weight comparable to many CB's (6' 165-170). 1 rep max is something around 260 lbs.
Seeing some CB's do that for 15 reps is unreal.

I just posted the average NFL linemen ad a vertical of 28", that's for 300 lbs. The average NBA vertical jump is 28", which includes people under 200 lbs.

Nonetheless though, remember we're talking pure Explosive Index originally: Bench press, Broad Jump, Vertical Jump, 40-time.
When you take those factors into consideration, it's not close. Explosive Index actually a metric used during the draft process, NBA players would not fair well:

Breaking Down The Pat Kirwan NFL Combine Explosive Rating

Let me start this post off by saying that I am a huge fan of Pat Kirwan. For those that do not know it, he is the co-host of the show Movin\’ The Chains on SiriusXM NFL Radio. Before his radio gig, Kirwan spent eight years with the New York Jets, beginning as a defensive […]

it's just basically a rating scale used to mention overall burst. Usain Bolt for example would probably wreck that rating considering his bench press also goes well into the 300's (by his own claim) and says a lot of T&F sprinters can bench press way more than that.


Maybe I should not have been more specific that I was referring to pure peak explosive burst rather than overall athleticism

The NBA averaging at a 28" vert is a piece of information that shows up on Google but has no real source.

DraftExpress - Average Measurements by Position

Average athletic testing (height, weight, wingspan, standing reach and more) of basketball players by position.

www.draftexpress.com

This site actually compiles past NBA combines. Over the past 25 years the center position averages 32.6". There's no way modern players are at 28".

As I'm typing I'm realizing that the standard is probably the two-foot "no step" version. Still centers are at the bottom at 28.5". At all positions it appears to average out to 30".

Yeah I don't disagree that NFL players are more explosive.

It’s crazy I thought 200 was his best race

This is why you need to make sure that if you're going to talk reckless you better be able to back it up. And in his case, it won't matter that he won the 100m or any other races. The fact that he performed so poorly in this one is going to have everyone coming at him

Yeah what they lack in endurance (which unfortunately is important in a lot of sports) they make up for it in force production. These guys are explosive as fukk.

How many can do this let alone massive guys like wirfs

This is just dumb lmao he still a gold medalist

Which would be a great story if he didn’t talk so much shyt. You go the villain route, you have to win everything.

Ran a 19.7 WITH COVID..... Meanwhile, Embiid can barely stand up and walk around without tearing something.

No, you don't. 100M is the MAIN EVENT of the entire Olympics clown... Go process some living wills....get back to work Lionel

He is still leaving the 2024 Olympics with more 2024 Olympic medals than the USA basketball team

Even if they get the gold, he got the same shyt he got

nikkas be at the crib waiting for a gotcha moment shyt cray

 

[obarth]

A bounce back with the gold in the 4 x 100 would be big for him. Three medals, two golds, with the last one being gold would help with recency bias. He's gonna have to deal with people getting these jokes off for now
