Black people are so strong and fast
Im a 6'2 hispanic.. grew up always playing around hispanics, so it gave me a sort of toughness and hunger that makes me a competitive ballplayer..
but there wasnt alot of blacks in my area (Southern Tip of Texas, RGV).. I lived in San Antonio and Austin the past couple years and really began getting into competitive ball and WOW playing against blacks is just an entire different game.
Theyre stronger, faster, bigger, quicker.. its crazy. Its made me into a better player.. I go back home and my old friends cant handle me, but up here its so different! I truly value the weightroom now.. Im trying to hit it hard because black people really bully me, not in a negative way but they are just physically dominant!
I know theres great athletes in all races, but I feel blacks are just on another level. :eek:

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
lol not all black people are good at basketball, believe me. if you cant beat someone with atleticism and talent, then you gotta beat them with smarts.

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
black people OVERALL definitely are more athletic, but not all of them.. i've played with black guys who are tall and lanky as hell, but can't stand their grounds cause they're like 130lbs..

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
Yeah they're strong and fast, that's true. But I feel the "blacks are superior when playing basketball" thing is exaggerated. Granted I play basketball in Australia, I don't know how black guys are in America. But the best basketball players I've played against are almost always white. They may not be as fast or athletic as black players, but they have solid fundamentals. Just being fast or athletic doesn't take you all that far in basketball games.

Wow. Come to Texas or NY or Cali... the best courts in the cities are usually 5on5 games, and 8 or 9 of those dudes are black. They dominate the game of basketball. Just watch the NBA or NCAA. Id say 90% of starting 5on5s in America are blacks.
Once again, its just a completely different game against blacks. And note* Im not limiting this discussion to streetball or pickup.. Im talking about upper level basketball players for the most part.

I was talking average joes. Black guys with fundamentals and skills and all the stuff you have to actually practice to obtain, they're hard to beat, no doubt.

the top 10 greatest bball players are pretty much all black, 90% of top 100 are all black.

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
Fat black dudes with bounce are hard to guard. I have yet to guard a fat white dude or a brown or asian dude with hops but today I was runnin 5s at Pan Pacific and there was this fat black dude looked like Big Baby Davis with a mohawk was gettin every loose ball and had serious vertical. Im sure if he turned that fat into muscle he'd be a serious prospect dude was like 17 but he was so damn wide and so athletic there wasnt a way to stop him inside.

what would you consider hops? 30+, 36+?

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
i think it depends how they train their self. and how they detemine to improve their self.
example the players from other country. like spain. argentina. they are not black but they are fast and strong. even in asian country like china and philippines.

[QUOTE=halffttime]what would you consider hops? 30+, 36+?[/QUOTE]
I say even 30 inches is exceptionally good for a fat player. 36 would be good for a 'healthy' individual...
-
Re: Black people are so strong and fast
the average NBA vertical jump is 28". the world record is reported to be somewhere in the low 60's. a fat guy having a 30" vertical would be really impressive. most "healthy" individuals can't jump 36"

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
Didn't someone post about blacks having more fast twitch muscles than any other race which made them explosive and athletic?
Basically it was a thread disproving that blacks were better not because of slavery but because of how their bodies are built.
Kinda like how blacks have high bone density which makes them struggle at swimming.
And how whites have the most slow twitch muscles which make them best in heavyweight lifting

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
Not just that, anyone of true negro descent has a different knee structure, something to do with the angle of the ligaments where the knee attaches between the upper and lower leg, along with a higher number of fast twitch muscles it creates a greater level of "explosiveness" which makes for what is seemed to be increased speed and explosive power.
Something I learned from a friend who was an Orthopaedic Surgeon, funny thing is not many medical practitioners even really know alot about it, it came up when this person was at uni doing an autopsy, sounds bizarre I know but apparently it's fact.
I'm 6ft and had a 44 inch vert with a very quick 20 yard dash time when I was younger, even when I got older and fatter I never dipped below a 34-36inch vert and still had a quick dash time, even when I was almost up at what would be 300lbs in your US measurements, after I blew out my knee I would be lucky to get higher off the ground than the ass of a mouse!

I thought Asians had the most slow-twitched muscles. However, I think every race has individuals with different body types...it's just that the majority of black ppl have the fast-twitched, long-limbed body type.

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
:roll:
Don't fall for the stereotype, bro. I play basketball every weekend against some the strongest and fastest white dudes, latinos, and even a few asian players. I am 6-6, black, and played college basketball, I have seen them all. So don't sell yourself short. We all can play the game.

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
Guys from the Cold North ie Scandinavia and inner Mongolia have developed over time more compact bodies to conserve heat. This gives them an advantage when lifting objects because of the shorter levers of their arms and legs.
Dudes from Western Africa for some reason have more fast twitch muscles in their bodies which give them advantages in activities that involve sprinting and jumping. But they also have smaller lungs than the average of the rest of the world, limiting endurance activities.
Men from Eastern Africa, like Kenya and Ethiopia have larger lungs because of the high altitude and tall slender bodies to dissipate heat easier. As you can imagine there is a reason why every long distance event is virtually swept by Kenya in every Summer Olympics
The tallest people in the world on average come from the mountains in the Balkans by the Adriatic sea in Europe.
On and on and on. People have different builds which lead them to excel in certain fields. But of course please remember this is not on a case by case basis this is just a average of the whole.

are you sure it is 28'? that seems pretty low, you think it would be like 32-33
unless we are talking about standing verts here..
in which case only 2 or 3 players in the league have over a 30'.

No, I dont think that the average person has a 32-33 inch running vertical. I might be wrong, but it seems very uncommon.

it is standing vert.. and only 2 or 3 players have over a 30' standing vert? lol, i could count to atleast 10 out of my head. rose, mayo, carter, bryant, smith, lebron, melo, robinson, other smith, hell shaq had a 32 inch standing vert in his earlier days.
remember for every carters out there, there's a yao ming. so their verts balances each other out..

Re: Black people are so strong and fast
it could be that basketball has a reputation as an urban sport more than baseball or tennis or even football to a degree
so if there are 10 times as many black guys in a park as a white guy, isnt it only natural that you'll find a couple of black guys who can really run and jump
another thing to keep in mind is that for every lebron james out there(there arnt that many if you think about, you know, freakishly athletic) there is also a zach randolph(alot more common than the lebrons, maybe not in the league but across the nation and whatnot)
not to mention there are some blacks guys out there in the league who literally pay their bills by being able to jump
like hakim warrick, darius miles
not to bash on blacks cus the best 10 players are still black but just telling it like it is
