strike that...wilt ran a 49.0/ 1:58 in high school for the 440/880. .....at 7'2"
it's funny how one-sport track runners always think that extraordinary athletes in other sports somehow become average once they step on the track...news flash.... track ain't getting the best of the best.
Geez some of you guys! Michael Jordan in his physical prime which was 1988 when he could jump up and grab a basketball from near atmosphere would totally annihilate Jordan Hasay. You have to remember his real height without shoes/socks was just a tad bit under 6'5" and during this time he was around 190. He was super quick and extremely fast. He buffed up in his later seasons to 215 to combat the physicality of the league during this time. With this being said I think he could beat Jordan Hasay at any distance up to 1 mile. After this its JH's ballgame

Mike wins the 100m no question, Hasay the 10k. Where do they meet? I'm thinking between 600m and 800m.
400m to 600m

Since when did basketball players become decent runners beyond a sprint?
I would say 400m would be a good race.
Alan
didn't justin knight run 15:30 off of basketball training in highschool
caleb
1000 meters
Ummmm ever hear of Jordan winning 1997 nba finals game 5 with the flu?
Yep. Hasay would crush anything over a mile. M Jordan definitely has the shorter distances.
I've seen basketball players with decent ups and athletic abilty come out and run 54-55 for a 400 first time around. MJ was amazing, I would give him at least a 52.xx and wouldn't be surprised at all with a sub 50. MJ' s specific running endurance would probably die off quickly but he could probably hold on for a low 2 800 and by 1000 meters, Hasay at and MJ would be even.
I'd be surprised if Jordan Hasay could break 60 now or possibly ever. MJ I could see anywhere from 51 to 57. Remember 400m is a long way for a bballer.
Hard to guess in the 800 but I'm still leaning toward MJ.
well here's evidence that Jordan couldn't break 5 in the mile. Says 56 players at UNC have broken 5 in the mile in the preseason fitness test but Jordan wasn't one of them. I doubt this is an indicator of true peak mile ability since this was one fitness test run in the middle of a long practice, but probably caps his peak at around 5:00. So Hasay takes the mile, no question.
Wow. A showdown between two of the greatest athlete tongues in history:
Yo Jordan's sunglasses are sick af. Does anyone know the brand and model of them?
Let’s clarify this thread by not using the word Jordan to refer to either of them. Use MJ or Michael for Michael Jordan and Hasay or JH to refer to Jordan Hasay.

I assume MJ in his prime could run 55-56 for 400.
Wow. There are 6th grade boys who run 55-56. I think my junior high had a 54.xx record.
MJ surely had the ability to approach sub 50.

Looks like an Oakley logo on the side if you zoom in a bit. Kind of blurry though.

And I'm a bit bored so I searched around. Pretty sure they're Flak Jacket 2.0 XL.
I believe that she is not allowed to wear anything other than NIKE. Those are Nike glasses for sure
Michael would DESTROY Hasay at 400m. After that the wheels would fall off like crazy. She might be able to get him at 600, but I'll say 700 to be safe.
