How fast are 7 footers? (alien.top)

I just watched Victor Wembanyama outpace Andrew Wiggins on a fast break, but he looked hilariously slow while moving. I get it’s because he has long legs so his strides seem slow, but I can’t imagine his 100m time being fast at all.

Kinda fast I guess

definitely a very good chance Wiggins wasn’t going all out

Wilt was way faster especially at college https://youtu.be/B22U73v7kAA?si=R2vtsg00V3GGKWqD

Best of Lebron on-court? Someone needs to watch a 2009 Lebron season highlights video ASAP

The best sprinters are about 5'11" to 6'2" or 6'3" tops. Bolt was an anomaly at 6'5". Wiggins has olympic level athleticism so Wembanyama should look like molasses compared to him

Around 15 mph in their natural habitat. A wild 7 footer can run up to 17 mph when chasing prey.

Not too fast from a 100m time perspective. That's why it's play speed that truly matters. Wemby has fast play speed. Not all fast dudes are as fast in a game.

Big strides get you Gold. #Bolt
