Your Average (or Fastest) 40 Time

Off Topic
81

just to add

I ran a 4.6 my sophomore year of college (which was my fastest 40 time. I ran ‘faster’ times in highschool, barely, but i dont count those)

fast forward several years and I’m in the military. We played a lot of ‘speed ball’ for PT at my team. I was definitely one of the top 3 fastest guys at sprinting so i figured I was still close to my old time.

on my last deployment a buddy of mine (who I was working with who is attempting to walk on at OU) were doing a football prep program. My timed 40 without practice was a 5.2 or 5.3? It took me a few months to get it back down (a little) and only was able to get a 4.85 (that was with me being 30lbs heavier though)

so the moral of the story is??? Im slower than i used to be :frowning:

That’s what i’m saying. People don’t realize how fast 4.3-4 really is. [/quote]

my knee jerk reaction to this is to agree…but then again, most here probably would doubt that my fat 5’6" ass used to be able jump and grab a basketball rim with one hand from a standing position(wonder what my vertical would have been?) and even old and brittle and half crippled up, I freaked out my wife’s teenage kids when I was able to jump and touch the bottom of the backboard.

so I will refrain from “hating”

I’m 5’7 and can grab the rim from a standing vertical. My VJ is 39", so yours was probably 40-42, depending on how long your arms are and whatnot.

Lmao at most of these claims. Like posted before look at the nfl combine records. Everybody going in there runs a 4.3 40 and then they actually run a true 40 and get a 4.59 or something. Plus if you guys did actually run that fast you wouldn’t be posting here. You’d be playing pro ball.[/quote]

I did. And I’m 45 now.

Haters gonna fucking hate. [/quote]

Where’d you play ball?[/quote]

Played part of a season professionally in Argentina, tried out for th4e then Charlotte Hornets, turned down the USBL and old CBA, played two summers of LA Summer Pro League, a few summers of Charles Baker Summer Pro League here in Philly and a few games in the Atlanta Summer Pro League.

Very Impressive[/quote]

Not really. I fucked up. Probably could have made the league if I did the right things, starting with going to college. If I could only go back…[/quote]

You never played in college but managed to play that high a level? What else would you have changed, if you don’t mind me asking? I have hoop dreams so anything like this is of interest to me. Playing in Argentina sounds like it’d be awesome, what was that like?[/quote]

I would have rejected the “fast life” and took my ass to college for free. I was a knucklehead. I made my later attempt, which for anyone to reach the NBA is an extreme longshot, and I turned it into a powerball longshot with that mistake. That a 6.1 white guard from a small high school in NJ with no college ball experience could still get those looks should give you some idea on how grand my fuck up was. I am not proud.

This is what I’m saying. Oh, and btw I ran a 4.32 since MOST, not all here are full of shit too.
Geesh everybody’s e-dick is fucking huge.

Gotta respect the honest assessment. Obviously you had a ton of talent though and to still play at a high level via an unorthodox path is still ballin, to me at least…not a lot of people can say they even had a shot. Any passing advice for a fellow 6.1 white guard?

What’s there not to be honest about? There is no glory in being known as one of the best around here that didn’t make it :slight_smile: LOL

Play with the best competition and hone your skills (shooting, passing, ball handling). If you’re 6.1 you need to be a point guard. To be a point guard at a higher level, you need to be quick and you need to be able to play defense and pressure the ball. If you’re not quick, you have no shot. Depending on your age, get with a good AAU team that gets exposure and play for a high school team that gets exposure if you can. And play play play. Work work work.

Add half a second to the hand times posted & you would be much closer to the mark.

For those timed by a stopwatch retard the difference is even higher.[/quote]

So, I’m supposed to believe that if I was hand timed that instead of 4.7, it was 5.2? That is a big difference Retard Gonzalez. The average reaction time is .12 seconds, so at most I’d say add that, not half a fucking second, fucking gonzo.[/quote]

The average time is well over .12 seconds for a reaction. Charlie Francis commented in his book on Ben Johnson how Ben had an amazing reaction time of under .1 second for one start. One time this reaction caused him to foul when he actually didn’t.

If you ran the forty from blocks and was electronically times you might be 5.2. Hell, Ben Johnson was 4.35 or so under the same conditions. If you add in the coachs reaction to starting and stopping the watch, .5 seconds is not out of line.[/quote]

Really, well glad I used teh lazzorz for my run then.
