    Top track athletes are always way faster than top athletes in other sports. Merritt didn't need to run his hardest to stay in front of Wall. However, Wall still runs really well to be able to even run down the track with Merritt at all. He is possibly the fastest NBA player ever. Merritt had a kidney transplant only two years ago and while he might never challenge his world record again he's already back to being one of the best in the world with 13.09 this year in the hurdles ... amazing.

      ***** I understand maybe beating Wall by a wide margin in a race is unnecessary, but it's incredibly silly to say beating the world's best in a highly competitive race by a wide margin is as well. Not only are these guys competing on the highest level, they are going for world records. It is in no way bad sport to try your hardest through out the whole race. In the case of Bolt in the Olympics, I remember him being far ahead and he ran backwards for the final bit or at least slowed up in some manner. I see that more as him being cocky or at least wanting to celebrate his victory early rather than slowing up for the sake of sport. Not faulting him for that, but I doubt it was for the reason you say.

    People have no idea how fast top-flight sprinters are. Basically, think of the fastest pro-sport athlete you've ever seen and then beat him by 8-10m in the 100m. I've heard that CJ2K ran a 10.45s 100m at his best, which is 0.9s slower than Usain Bolt's record. They finish the race running at about 14m/s, so at his fastest CJ2K is 12m behind Usain at his fastest! Everybody in the finals of the 2012 Olympic 100m Men's Final ran sub 10s, so no pro-athlete could ever touch that.

    • @sincitydude31

      Well put. I have said the same thing to friends of mine who might watch the 100 meters and say that the dude that got last is slow. No he's not! I always tell them to look at the time he ran. They'll say, "He ran 10.3. Is that fast? And i'm like "Are you kidding me? Hell yes! That is moving!" To anybody that thinks that the last place dude in the Olympics is slow, go race him and then say that!

    • @SHA8UTIE

      Darrell Green had a ridiculously fast 100. Trindon Holliday is up there as well but for the most part you are right.
      That being said, Bolt beats other top-flight sprinters by 5-6 meters to start with.

    • @jasonjasonson9154
      @jasonjasonson9154 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Relbl while that is true many of these NBA and NFL players like CJ2K, even John Wall are running at speeds relatively close to Olympic gold medalists without any formal track training.
      You take John Wall give him a year of track training and this race is much closer.
      To add to that, if you take John Wall and Arries and put them in an agility drill and John Wall probably wins by a larger margin than Arries wins in a straight sprint.
      my point is the NBA players are better overall athletes than sprinters.

    • @tghetto5
      @tghetto5 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Razatiger Ault My argument was against the guy saying no one from other sports can beat a "true sprinter." First of all, 10.13 is good for someone who doesn't spend all their time training in track. Second of all, 40 is different than 100m, there have been faster NFL 100m times, some even sub 10, go look it up. Even Aries said he can't run sub 10 as is. There are tons of NFL players who run in the low 10's. Tons of NFL players were former high school track stars and a lot were former NCAA track stars. Some even went on to the Olympics. If only the top 10 sprinters in the world are "true sprinters" then that is a pretty stupid definition.
      My point is, the guys comment was pretty dumb. "I ran track for 18 years" if he's claiming he's a true sprinter than I'm willing to bet there are tons of NFL players that would dust him. His statement doesn't seem to make sense since a ton of athletes have track and field backgrounds.

I "was" a true sprinter I never said "is or am now". I am 44 years old I can be dusted by anyone now. I am still insanely fast for my age even though I don't play any sports or exercise at all. Once you commit to a sport you change how you train. Do you or have you ever even run track?
