Видео

Steph Curry done went and proved this in one quarter of that Olympic final. Also, fantastic video, just found your channel and loving it

Man i never sub when people tell me to in the video.. but man, i didn't even hesitate to smash your sub button. you're really one of one. you make videos a 10 million subscriber channel will make and no one would think the quality doesn't match the quantity of the channel. Earned my respect man.

Most wont believe, but the emphasis on individual is a psyop aimed at disseminating narcissism & hindering collective effort.

So a video about world records has more than half of its content about basketball, a sport where there ARE no world records. Makes sense. By the way, most of the world doesn't care about basketball.

I’m gonna say it. Wemby is definitely the peak human form for basketball, he is built for the sport, just like Wilt Chamberlain was.

voice is too silent

TBH, I keep waiting for statistics to discover that what we perceive to be skill is just some players being more successful by random chance. But that could just be my own envy showing through. ;)

Re: the point about FloJo's records in the women's sprints. Her 10.49 world record from '88 should never have been ratified, as there is extremely strong evidence that the wind reader malfunctioned to produce a legal dead wind, instead of the much more likely +4.0 to +5.0 m/s tailwind. All other 100m heats on that day showed such readings, the wind reader for the long jump that happened at the same time and perpendicularly to her run showed such readings, and all the other athletes on the day outperformed their PBs by an amount that statistically is almost perfectly accounted for by a significant tailwind. Besides, Elaine Thompson-Herah has ran a very close 10.54 under legal conditions in 2021, in contrast to Bolt's records on the men's side that are >100 ms faster than the closest competitors, Blake and Gay. FloJo's record isn't comparable to the men's records at all, IMO. Add to this the fact that FloJo competed in a time where athletes were only tested for PEDs in competition, which allowed them to use PEDs in training and taper off them before competition. She then retired immediately at the age of 30 when year-round, out-of-competition testing was to be introduced. The women's sprints are still very competitive, and the top talent today is very much holding its own against FloJo's inflated legacy. They deserve the respect that that entails.

Steroids and blood doping 🗿

I mean with the announcement of the enhanced games and people running faster than Usain bolt, unless your purely counting natural strength then no were about to see a shit ton of records broken via those exact peak athletes but now on steriods

It’s funny how much math is devoted to this and I love it. It has to exist. Shooting is a trained skill. It’s not luck. Feeling confident only makes you be more sure of your shot that’s been practiced for thousands of hours being unsure leads to overthinking. Secondly their study is a little swayed because it doesn’t account for where and how the shots were made. First no one has ever said he’s hot put him on the free throw line; you’re either good at the free throw or not. Plus it’s an entirely different shot and rhythm. Secondly was the first make uncontested the second a layup and the third a 12 footer. You’re not going to feel hot after those. Those are standard makes. But if you made two contested threes in a row you might feel super hot.

Europe's starting lineup: Luka Doncic Bogdan Bogdanovic Franz Wagner Giannis Antetokounmpo Nikola Jokic Let's see who wins then...30+ pts difference when the game is over.

Don’t think they have peaked because there are still medicine and health boundaries and advances we haven’t reached. Also using drugs to increase athleticism which rn is no really legal in any leagues

Of course the dream team would beat todays team.

You have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to 🏀 😂 you have no clue 😂😂 i wish they could play each other to put this bullshit to rest sometimes you have to admit you don't know everything Larry's 3 was there an all of the other great players could have done the same so just stop

This is a really good quality video

1:30 you use a historical, unmatched athletic outlier to identify a generic trend. Absolutely hilarious...

Think it's the drug testing, buddy

i only subscribed bc ur a blazers fan. u are different.

"Fooled by Randomness" now I know what you've been reading!

earned my sub. love the content💙

Your videos are so interesting and engaging. Please keep producing them.

In no way the 1992 Dream Team can beat today's USA Basketball Team. The 1992 Dream Team will receive the same treatment they gave to their opponents from today's Olympic basketball team.

This video was wrong, delete it

PEDs are a plague.

I loved this topic very interesting.

$25,000 in 1960 is equal to over $250,000 today; so not as meager as it may sound, but orders of magnitude less than the highest paid players today

GOUT GOUT WILL BREAK BOLTS 9.58s

I hate to rain on everyone’s parade here, but the math in the middle of this video is not good. The argument presented here for “correcting” the original study’s unsatisfying 49-45 margin into a much sexier 53-40 margin is based on a deeply erroneous analysis of the independent coin flip probability model. If the author had not simply thrown half the evidence out the window, they would have found that an independent fair coin shoots 50% after a hit and 50% after a miss. There is no intrinsic bias against hot streaks in the model. In fact, ignoring the HHH, HHM, MMH, and MMM cases fabricates with bad math the very bias the author claims was in the original study. The counterargument presented by “hot hand skeptics” is not that streaky shooting doesn’t occur; it’s that random independent events are also quite streaky themselves and that “hot hand” streakiness does not distinguish itself enough from random independent streakiness to lead to any useful conclusions about what, if any, non-random causes there may be for any particular streak.

Came to a logically supportable conclusion! Nice.

Cool video! One sport that did see some WRs, interestingly enough, is track cycling. The reason that is interesting is WRs in track cycling are much easier to break at high elevation in areas like Bolivia, Colombia, Central Mexico and Belarus. Of course cycling sees a drastically outsized contribution from equipment compared to other sports, and that is why the 2024 games were so interesting, some of the most outlandish bikes ever ridden were in action on track!

For Andre De Grasse, I think he made this time in his first attempt, and doesn't train for that specific moment. On another part, Jesse Owens was at his prime when he clocks 10.2 and 10.3, and was used to this surface. If Andre De Grasse has no choice to train on that because no modern track, I think he would be much closer to Jesse Owens' times. For me this comparison is totally unfair. Andre have a 1.1 second difference because of that. Jesse Owens would not have the same difference than Andre (I don't think at all on modern track Jesse was running 9.2 or 9.1 in the 100 meters). Yeah Jesse Owens was a very talented runner, but all this stuff is just speculation. We haven't a solution to see what time Jesse would run in modern era. Maybe sub 10, maybe not, impossible to know. And the opposite as well, we don't know how Usain Bolt would have run in 1936, maybe faster than 10.2, maybe not. All athletes have a different way to approach a track. It's the same problem for the wind, athletes would have a more profitable advantage of wind than others, so try to make a conversion to know what an athlete could run with maximum allowed wind or with 0 wind is really tricky. But for me, unless maybe a few exceptions where it's debatable (Serguei Bubka with modern preparation, or the 1980's in general like Flo Jo, Marita Koch, Jarmila Kratochvilova, and others), I think the best athletes are in this current generation. Even more when we consider maybe in the 1980', dopage and cheating were way more easy than now.

Bob Cousey catching strays💀

How did this video become a 92 dream team vs. 2024 Avengers discussion?????

I broke all the world records then retired.. that’s why none of the records are getting broken anymore

I was expecting an expose on the physiological limits

It’s not the humans that have athletically peaked, but the equipment we use (for now). Any major advancement is athletics is almost strictly due to advancements in technology.

I have been watching you for months now and all your productions are great! I am commenting for the algo when is YT gonna give you the Millions of Subs this channel has the production quality of and thus deserves?

Theyve peaked...for now. Give it twenty year

easy time create weak man... says it all

RUclips’s been so boring and then they recommend me this. We are so back 😛

All these records are due to technological innovations or changing standards and equipment. Also greater incentives and thus greater gene pools, as well as effort and training. Humans haven't evolved in 100 years.

bring back steroids in baseball

Weird bad calls make up for it

comparing only the ppg of the modern avengers and the dream team is a disservice to both teams. The Avengers would definitely not score as much as they are against Serbia and Germany against the Dream Team with 4/5 of them on NBA defensive teams multiple times.

The swimming theory is nonsense. The difference in how long we’ve been swimming vs running is minuscule on the larger scale of evolution. It’s probably that it’s become so much more popular in recent years

Where do you get all of your data?

Some records have been pushed by advancing equipment. No pole vaulting using steel poles ever cleared more than 15-1/2 feet. Now, with fiberglass/composite, 20+ feet is possible.

Check out the Enhanced Games!

Those dudes in that original study musta never played ball!
