And LeBron would only run a 4.9, lmao.

No, in all seriousness. Congrats to him, that's an awesome accomplishment when you're 50 years old.

That's an awesome accomplishment for someone half his age. A 4.43 at age 50? What did he run as a player??

Somehow you managed to use this as a measuring stick for Lebron's prowess. That's why you're an idiot......

No. Someone, sometime ago said LeBron wouldn't run a 4.9.

To think that Bron couldn't run what a 50 year old can run is idiotic.

So, everyone who's worth a shit in pro sports must be able to run a 4.43 b/c a 50 yr. old did so?!??!? Not syaing he can or can't b/c I don't give two fucks but that logic proves nothing......

So Lebron should be able to run a 4.2 then right??? B/c Willie Gault did so at 48.....

Darrell Green is in the football Hall of Fame. He played 20 seasons at corner for the Washington Redskins and is considered one of the fastest and best ever to play in the NFL. I am not surprised to hear he is still clocking a 4.3 40. It's sort of like how I was not surprised to hear a few years ago that Nolan Ryan could still throw a 90+mph fastball.

Year.....1990

Even 100m

Participants: World's fastest human Carl Lewis.....World's 2nd fastest human Leroy Burrell, Darell Green and Rod Woodsen

Finish......Lewis won with Burrell and Green on his back leg stride at the finish line and Woodsen was a step back of Green and Burrell. Green led or was in a virtual tie with Lewis for about 80M.

Darell Green is one of the fastest athletes ever....track included and can run a 4.43 at age 50...think about that folks before spewing off

I still want to know if Lebrick can run a 4.2??? Since he can do anything a 50 yr. old can do is it safe to apply that rule to a 48 year old???
