The History of the Basketball Mile World Record

[@lo1bo2]

I can see how alternating your dribbling hand helps with balance and stride, versus doing it all on one side. On the funny side, imagine a referee blowing a whistle for traveling.

[@pinkstreakspeedgolf1738]

They don't even do it in the NBA so not worried :)

[@SimplyAsinine]

In basketball at all levels you can take as many steps as you want in between dribbles while dribbling…

[@lo1bo2]

@@SimplyAsinine Yes, that is not travelling.

[@ShinjiGetsGrounded]

@@SimplyAsinine but youre not supposed to put your hand on the bottom half of the ball while dribbling which virtually all of these people are doing

[@ikonoklastas3454]

[@arthurrliuu]

Ayo that’s me at 0:53! Clicked on this video from my recommended and was completely caught off guard to find myself haha. I uploaded that video 2 months after I graduated high school, now I’m 5 months away from graduating college haha, crazy

[@DankScole]

I’m just waiting for the previous basketball player to get into distance. Or the hybrid runner who plays basketball to find out about this record 😂

[@Wallyworld30]

It's funny because countless NFL players ran track and field some winning gold medals in the Olympics. NBA is more of a learned skill than speed sport. Even Baseball players ran more T&F than Basketball. Rickey Henderson was faster than any NBA player ever. Ricky Henderson ran 100 Yard dash in 9.6. I watched Michael Jordan play in person I lived less than a mile from Birmingham Barons stadium and watched him steal a base. I was shocked at how slow Michael Jordan was. He had no explosiveness when he took off but he did get his base. Jordan bought the baseball team a brand new bus that must have cost him a fortune. It was a big deal the 2 years we had him but as athlete Basketball player in Track & Field have done great in jumping sports like long jump and triple jump. They just aren't built to be an explosive runner compared to T&F guys.

[@DankScole]

@@Wallyworld30 I just meant for this record in particular 😅 but basketball (atleast the PG, SG , SF positions) require a lot explosiveness.

[@Wallyworld30]

@@DankScole I'm a huge NBA fan and some of those guys are indeed explosive but in a mile run we really need someone that has amazing cardio. Running up and down a full size NBA court is an incredible workout I'm actually surprised none of these guys ever ran long distance Events in T&F. What NBA guy would you bet money on that runs the fastest mile? Giannis seems perfect with those crazy long strides and speed. Then again the much smaller Jevon Carter is extremely fast and lightweight would surely make a great long distance runner. Who would you pick to run your mile?

[@DankScole]

@@Wallyworld30 if this were a couple decade ago I Hoe you would give it to Iverson. He was an athletic freak. Currently as crazy as it sounds I wouldn’t be surprised if LeBron broke it. I used to watch a lot of nba workouts and Lebron was one of the few players I actually seen run full miles and this was him cooling down. Westbrook had a crazy Mike time but this was like 2017 so I don’t want to credit him. Giannis has crazy athleticism and strides, so he’s definitely a good pick. Don’t judge me on this last one but Avery Bradley just comes off as someone who secretly ram miles after practice 😂

[@Wallyworld30]

@RealSweetKid That was my point and when I did into research it I was surprised no NBA Player ever ran track & field and college level or above. Only event NBA players participated in was jumping events. Still Giannis intrigues me because if he trained for it he could run like a gazelle on the track.

[@maggieboh]

0:53 I was not expecting to see my high school here! Arthur and I both ran cross country at the same time, as he is only a year younger than me. Great vid!

[@arthurrliuu]

What’s up Maggie!

[@maggieboh]

@@arthurrliuu haha hey, Arthur!

[@fuegoredlego]

[@coastercar]

My current mile (1600) time is 4:46 and I’d be happy just running a 4:28 normally haha. I’ll see what I can do during track this year

[@Wallyworld30]

That's incredible. I never ran track and field for school but I played on the Baseball team and Sophmore year our coach was a hard core prick. Coach made us run a full mile before every practice. So we're all tired as hell before even starting practice. This did come in handy in Gym class when we all had to run a mile and we were timed. Out of 100 kids that ran that day I came in 2nd with a 5:45 and only kid that beat me was on the track and field team. He beat me by like 30 seconds it was a little embarresing but I was proud of coming in second.

[@abigailbennett7748]

my brother, ryan bennett, is currently out of the country for the next two years. he is planning on taking his record back when he gets home.

[@max13121312]

HIS record back?!?!?

[@snoyoclan2519]

Getting more and more depressing to see times I'll never run being put up on meme events lol

[@pinkstreakspeedgolf1738]

Just found a new fun channel, Awesome! Soon You will have to do a History of the Speedgolfing Record! Guy shot a 65 (-5 under) and ran the course in 42 minutes. Maybe some day in the future 100 is broken, its like the 2hr marathon or 1;40 800m kinda number for us running golfers 😆

[@tomharmon345]

I wanna see about 3 people racing at the same time

[@Wallyworld30]

They should pull up a basketball hoop at the finish line and the runner needs to score a goal to stop the clock at end of the race. It would be funny as hell seeing people try shooting a shot immediately after running a mile in 4:40.

[@tomascanevaro4292]

Yesterday i got my mile pb at 7:11 , ended up drenched in sweat and screaming from pain. These kids do it in sub-5 while dribbling a basketball and look like they ended a moderate jog after lol.

[@taylorjones995]

Do the history of the Blue Jean Mile next!!

[@RunnerBoi]

It's on the list haha. Maybe I'll host a challenge/fundraiser-type thing where I can crowdfund a solid cash prize for people to break the current one. Would like to do that for other weird mile challenges too in the future.

[@sharrpshooter1]

I wouldn't say its professional runners who are taking these records considering its mostly highschool kids and older athletes. It would be really interesting to see Olympic contenders taking their shot at this

[@MimontheSitchell]

I ran with Ryan Bennett in high school. He was a junior when I was senior. Him and his teammates Ethan and Isaac were one of the best 123 punches Utah had ever seen. They all are going to Utah State so watch for em.

[@NorthWestPvPlolrektnoob]

[@thatsjustchrisc]

Hey Timothy Dye went to my highschool! Nice I didn’t even know he did that at the time.

[@NotTheWheel]

There are people I know who are born with a basketball in their hand who dribble everywhere I'd bet they could do this if they knew it was a record.

4:28... I can't even do 3 laps in that time, without a basketball.

[@toone1562]

Idk if you respond to comments like this, but do you have any tips for a high school freshman who wants to get onto the track team? I am 5'1'' and weigh about 90 pounds. I love weightlifting and running but I feel like I would be the odd man out on the team. Any tips?

[@pepperypeppers2755]

This sounds like a question to bring to the track coaches, honestly. They'll know the most about how your program works and what's expected to be on the team

[@jacksonmagas9698]

Just join the team. I can't say 100% because I don't know your specific team but most teams I know have a huge mix of body types and skill levels. So long as you are enjoying it it doesn't matter whether you are winning a state championship or running JV.

Hey RunnerBoi, got any recommendations for running shoes for 4e feet? All I can find near me are new balance trainers and standard width running shoes.

[@HashBrownDoyler]

Brooks have wide shoes

[@kiraofthesky5561]

Is there a record with a soccer ball?

[@orangew3988]

That would be interesting, especially on a track, because it would affect your stride much more, and with the curves you can't just rely on kicking it really far and straight to minimise how often you need to touch the ball.

[@stuffbenlikes]

Is there an indoor record yet?

[@closmasmas9080]

Yeah some of these “dribbling” attempts don’t follow basketball rules (carrying)

[@jepoyburner]

I wanna see a pro baller try for this record. The dribbling form for some of these videos could certainly be improved.

[@mobogdan4683]

I think they need to have stricter dribbling rules, carries travels as well as double dribbles should disqualify you
