Aparently MJ did 40 yards in 4.3 seconds while in collage. I bet Kobe has done similar.

| I think in the game of basketball 40yds really isn't that relevant, now if they did the shuttle I would want to know who was faster. |

This past summer he had speed similar to that of Felton.
It's well documented.
Do a "Google."
Go Jim Jackson! Go Lakers!!

That is as irrelevant as having an offensive lineman run the 40. As for Jordan, I would bet he didn't really run a sub-4.4 40.

| I think Jordan could still run a sub 4.4 40 if he was being chased by the gamblers he owes money too. |

| I agree. Highly doubt jordan ran an electronically timed 4.3 40. That type of speed is reserved for wide recievers and corners. Jordan is a good athlete but not that good. Iverson might be possible. |

Jordan had about a 46" vertical according to some sources. I think he was pretty athletic.

Quote : "Kobe Bryant has dropped weight, last year he came into camp at 230, he now weighs 214. His speed test was the same time as Raymond Felton, who runs a 4.3 40 yard dash, which is the same as Michael Vick. So to break it down, Kobe is now RIDICULOUSLY FAST. He's one of the fastest guys in the league now easy, but he's still got that chizzled upper body that allows him to finish with contact so well." |

| It would be interesting to see how the great swingmen (Kobe LBJ Tmac) would do as WRs in the NFL. It seems like they have all the gifts of Randy Moss and then some... |

This dude's blog is totally full of crap.
Here's more of Yanni's analysis (yeap he's 17 yrs old).
Quote: " It's a lock that Kobe will be starting at the two spot, but that one spot, which is a lot more flexible in the triangle when it comes to finding a player for it. In most offenses your point guard is your offense initiator, able to find open players, and penetrate at will. In the triangle it's a position where you sometimes help bring the ball up, and spot up. The likely canidate to take this position is Devean George. He's in lots better shape, healthy now, and he's very familiar with the triangle.
Great analysis... I think we've had about 15 different lineups, none which have featured Devean at the 1 spot. If dude can't figure that Devean would never play at the 1, much less prognosticate that he would start at the 1, my money is that he has no idea how real 4.3 speed compares (electronically timed on a like surface under controlled conditions). 4.3 = NFL Wideout, Corner, or Extremely fast Back. 4.2 = Dionne Sanders, 4.15 Joey Galloway, anything less is = world class sprinter. That's the difference a few tenths make. That's the reason why there's a combine to begin with. To record as many players as possible with the same equipment under like conditions. Kobe's 40 time would need to come under like conditions to even be comparable, and I SERIOUSLY doubt Kobe could ever turn a 4.3 at an NFL scouting combine. Kobe aint as quick as Vick. Get real. |

With a 46" veritcal his head would be 4" above the rim. No way. |

Jordan is and always will be mythically and nostalgically enhanced.
His vertical will be exaggerated.
People will conveniently forget that he clearly pushed off like hell on that
famous shot to beat Utah in the Finals.
Etc, etc.
People are right to consider him the best of all time, certainly for a
scoring guard anyhow.
But people will always make it out like he's the best by some HUGE
margin.
Victims of Jordan being the biggest sports marketing phenomena of all
time, in any part of the world. |

Yeah Jerome Mathis set the record in 05 with a 4.25. Dion Sanders had a 4.28. |

I'm sure Dion's time was lower than that...it was right above 4.0...I'm SURE of that...maybe 4.05 or 4.1
