Michael Carter , who still holds the High School record at over 83 feet, the length of a basketball court rim to rim, always said the legs are the drives of long throws.

I've never seen a good thrower who doesn't have a good Olympic lifting base.

Distance thrown?

Sorry but where was the science to support the best lifts, and what are the best lifts and can someone translate what this guy actually said in plain language!!!!

The science is the person speaking with decades of biomechanical experience. In layman's terms, he's saying the best lifts or movements for throwers utilize brief moments where max effort are exerted. Olympic lifts are prime examples of this. You are applying force across multiple vectors in very small windows of time. General power development such as sprinting and jumping also correlate the same way.
