Anthropomorphic Measurement of NBA bigmen 60s/70s vs Modern NBA era

[QUOTE=jlauber]Meanwhile...here is what Bob Hayes had to deal with in the '64 Olympics...[/QUOTE]

He may have well ran faster than that if modern timing devices were in place back then.

Oh my god. You guys are mentals. :yaohappy:

This just in. A ****** who couldn't even breka the 10s was actually better than Bolt.

:yaohappy:

Put Bolt in the same circumstances...with shoes that don't fit, and on a track with trenches in it, and let's see him run a 9.59.

BTW, (and 32Jazz mentioned this already)...

Bob Beamon long jumped 29' 2" in 1968. That mark stood until Mike Powell barely broke it in 1991, with a leap of 29' 4"...

which is STILL the record TODAY.

So, in 44 years we have seen the long jump record increase by TWO INCHES (and that was set over 20 years ago.)

Bolt is NOT the norm, he is the exception. Just like Bob Beamon was when he set the long jump record that stood for 20+ years until Powell ( an early 1990's long jumper) broke it, and i believe it still stands.

:biggums:

You guys are trolls. This discussion proves it. You might be some of the greatest troll out there. Dat ****ing routine. :yaohappy:

Name me a better sprinter/long jumper than Carl Lewis was in the 80's....

:coleman:

The 80's were 20 years after the 60's. :yaohappy:

Put peak Bob Hayes or Jimmy Hines in 00's, give them the best nutrition, medicine, medical technology (to prevent and overcome injuries), with much better techniques and training that have been learned in the last 50 years, with better and lighter shoes, and MUCH better track surfaces...and does anyone think they would still be running 9.95's?

Is this the first time you've heard of Bullet Bob Hayes??

:confusedshrug:

[QUOTE=Punpun]The 80's were 20 years after the 60's. :yaohappy:[/QUOTE]

And here we are in 2012, 24 years since Carl Lewis's prime, and their still isn't a better olympic athlete than he was.

Just like there isn't a better 2-guard than Jordan, or point guard than Magic, or a more skilled center than Hakeem.

And to add to that...

Hayes ran a 10.06 100 meters in 1964. Which is STILL the fastest EVER by a LEGITIMATE NFL player.

Darrell Green, in the early 80's, ran a 10.08. (Incidently, and as a sidenote...Green just turned 50 a few months ago...and promptly went out and ran, get this... a 4.43 40!)

Green in is prime has the next fastest time to Bo Jackson in the 40-yard dash ( an 80's athlete)...ridiculous 4.1 range.

but the athletes back then sucked and are inferior...:facepalm

That why a Nolan Ryan (pitched in the 60's) could throw a high 90's fastball for 27 years in eras without pitch counts and were required to FINISH THE GAME. Relievers were used only if his arm was ready to fall off.

While today's fast ballers tear their arms up in a matter of a few years....but today's athletes are better....:facepalm

Guys, seriously. Please tell me either by MP or her ethat you trolling. Else, I'd be truly worried about your mental health state. I'm asking you man to man. Eyes to eyes.

Just exposing how incredible ignorant you are to great athletes of the past.

Next you're gonna tell me you've never heard of Bo Jackson too right?? :oldlol:
