(sigh) its not my place to defend my abilities on an internet board, lol. but enjoy yourselves and if you can come to the game, it should be fun. so if you'll excuse me....
rofl this kid is a ing re .
Just out of curiosity does anyone remember Tony Parkers' first run time on this thing? For some reason I remember him have the best overall time in his first run, and I don't think anyone has yet to beat it. He screwed up on his second round though, if memory serves me.
Nash has the record @ 25.something.
Yeah I'm wrong...I think it was during the pre-chatter that they were raving that Tony was doing it in 20.3 in practice. I wish they'd invite him back with his new found shooting ability.San Antonio's Tony Parker and Phoenix's Stephon Marbury were eliminated in the first round. Parker missed all five of his shots from the top of the key, and Marbury never got the chest pass through in five tries.
i believe it, and this was kind of my whole point to begin with. wade, kobe, lebron, and paul were SLOOOW. i know they could have gone faster, so they either didn't try that hard, which is what i think, or maybe they aren't as quick as i thought they were.
They weren't even trying.
it appeared that way. but wade did win with almost the same time he had last year and the best ever is around 25. i stick with my previous statement that NBA players are not quicker than NFL skill position players. to think otherwise is ludicrous, imo.
Quicker yes, faster no.
they should just dump the skills challenge and play H O R S E instead. it would get way better ratings. the sports guy has been on track this whole time.
OK brother, would you agree Olympic 100m sprinters are built like horses? cause they are for a reason, and that is it requires explosive muscles to do what they do. the same applies to players like running backs and many WRs, Safeties, and CBs.
NBA basketball players are explosive, yes, but not nearly to the degree that NFL players are. NBA players have to run up and down the court continuously jumping and making quick movements. they cannot afford to carry the weight NFL players do and therefore do not have the ability to gain the necessary muscles to perform movements as quickly as NFL players. you see, the NBA is much more cardiovascular than is the NFL.
basketball players are great athletes and they are graceful, but they can't hold a candle to the explosive ability of many NFL players. thats just a fact bro.
this is why i don't like to go into detail on most issues i have opinions on...its usually a waste of time and i don't like to type. mavs<spurs probably won't even agree with me, but if he knows anything about sports he will.
Wow you just keep on going no matter how many people call you a dumbass...nba players are the quickest athletes in the world they are the most explosive in short movements it's called quick twitch muscles. You're right about one thing, most of them aren't fast in long sprints. Why do u think baskeball players jump higher than any other athlete? QUICK TWITCH MUSCLES, the same muscles determine how quick you are over short distances.
OK, you are having problems understanding. do NBA players look like Olympic sprinters?...no. are NBA players quicker than Olympic sprinters?...no. case closed bro. as for jumping ability?...there are tons of guys in the NFL that can jump 40+ inches. but they don't have the skill NBA players do to play basketball and they don't have the leaner body type that allows them run up and down a court all day long.
you...are...wrong.
a lot of your points would always carry more weight if you knew how to express yourself coherently and didn't always end with "if you knew anything about anything you would agree with me." example is this contradiction:
less weight in more cir stances = more quickness. someone not being able to carry more weight due to the sport they play has nothing to do with their capacity to add muscle mass. i know what you're attempting to say but it's mangled.they cannot afford to carry the weight NFL players do and therefore do not have the ability to gain the necessary muscles to perform movements as quickly as NFL players.
1. i agree with you about the coherent thing, but its not that i can't be...its that most of the time i choose not to be. say i write a very coherent, very persuasive piece on this forum, then what? where is the payoff? some jaggof comes in and says something showing they clearly didn't read it or understand it...therefore, i like to pick my audience
2. as for the less weight, its to a degree. of course lineman aren't going to be faster or quicker than a RB, so yes there is a point. however, i think its pretty obvious that i am talking about lean muscle mass.
3. thats correct, somebody's ability to carry more weight due to the sport they play has nothing to do with their capacity to add muscle mass. but if they want to succeed at that sport, then it does matter, and it matters how you train. not every athlete is born great...
...bottom line, most of the time i am too lazy to explain things fully or completely clearly. i apologize.
