Athletes from a long time ago would not seemingly be able to compete with each other in a sport like ice hockey because of the technological advancements of equipment like skates and sticks. But there are still other sports like shotput and javelin, where there is really no way to make it too much easier on the athletes.]]> 2023-05-16 18:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2593512493 tlareau2023 https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2593522318 Every sport has a GOAT. But who is it for basketball, MJ, or LeBron? It is hard in this sense because basketball is a sport with areas of improvement in shoes, practice technology like shooting assistants, etc. These two athletes were not from two different eras though. MJ retired in 2003, which is the same day LeBron was drafted. So MJ was on his way out as LeBron was on his way in. MJ was the goat of his career, but how would LeBron have performed if he was competing against MJ's competition? Vice versa?]]> 2023-05-16 18:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2593522318 tlareau2023 https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2593534636 Connor McDavid. The undisputed MVP of the National Hockey League. He dominates the league today against all of other all stars he faces. But how would he do against previous undisputed league greats? Considering how much the equipment in the sport of hockey has improved, I don't know if someone like Wayne Gretzky could even stand a chance against Connor McDavid. So that just goes to prove how much better hockey has gotten in previous decades.]]> 2023-05-16 18:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2593534636 tlareau2023 https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2593537929 It is safe to say that the human population has not evolved in the past 100 years, that's not how it works. But how would we explain the constant new world records? 
"Jesse Owens won the 1936 Olympics in 10.2 seconds, but would have come last in the 2013 race where Usain Bolt set his record of 9.77seconds.” However, he believes that humans have not evolved over that 77-year time span, but technology has gotten better at supporting them. (David Epstein). So to keep it short and sweet, technology has clearly been the reason for our rapid advancements in recent history.]]> 2023-05-16 18:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2593537929 tlareau2023 https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2594756065 This video talks about the reasons on why Olympic athletes have improved so much over the past century.

Is it a poem about LeBron? No. It's about MJ who is from an older generation of basketball players. So Maybe athletes have not improved as much in basketball as in other sports. ]]> 2023-05-17 14:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2594816199 tlareau2023 https://padlet.com/tlareau2023/dxehqcuys6k5wjze/wish/2597598910 There are two Space Jam movies that have been made.
