To be fair it's hard to know whether these guys just study film way too much or if they really have this kind of memory, it looks like Draymond, Lebron, and Rodgers definitely have superior memorization though

2 more of these dudes with perfect recall of games

Felix Hernadez, Pitcher, all star, Cy Young winner & has pitched a perfect game

Don't have time to give a thoughtful reply right now but I wanted to give you props for a great, original and non-general thread. This is why there's not many replies.

apemond green does not deserve to have his name even be uttered among that list of players

fuck off

>>75089135
top 10 player in the league right now though, after a few more finals wins it won't be too far fetched

>>75089156
>top 10 player
yeah, this is bait. shame you had a pretty interesting thread but you want to meme it up to get more replies. sage.

>>75086462
Another for you OP

>putting Apemond on the list
The rest are great but he's just a shithead who Allahu Akbar'd his team's finals chances last year

>>75089171
I mean he's gonna be DPOY, probably 2nd team all NBA for the 2nd straight year, and the defensive anchor to one of the best teams ever, I definitely think there's an argument there

>>75089189
Jerry Lucas too, another GOAT

The mathematician John von Neumann was able to memorize a column of the phone book at a single glance. Herman Goldstine wrote about him: "One of his remarkable abilities was his power of absolute recall. As far as I could tell, von Neumann was able on once reading a book or article to quote it back verbatim; moreover, he could do it years later without hesitation."

This is what photographic memory is like. No way those low IQ niggers and jocks are anything like a true genius such as von Neumann.

>>75090168
Bruh the post right above yours has a video where the dude does the exact same phone book thing

How does it feel to be BTFO

>>75089230

there's an argument, but not a great one

put him on any other team and nobody is talking about him in the top 20 - he thrives in the warriors' system and is a great piece in it, but it makes him look much better than he is

>>75086462
"Photographic memory" doesn't exist. It's a fiction meme not something people actually have in real life.

>>75091136
haven't you seen rain man? that's based off a real dude

>>75086462
Good thread. Intelligence is definitely a crucial asset for an athlete. I assume all the great coaches have this kind of brainpower. I'm afraid I do not have a better response.

Draymond is smart? You do not see that in his personality.

>>75086795
You act as if they were born with a special trait. It's common knowledge that memory can be improved enormously through training. Obviously if you watch a lot of film and attempt to memorize a playbook every year you will acquire a great memory. Same thing with with NYC cab drivers. There was a study done where they mapped out the entire city from memory, and brain scans showed they had much more active visual memory than the average person.

Also that Lebron article from Windhorst was pathetic. So obvious that Lebron desperately wanted to have a reputation as some kind of basketball genius and told him to write it.
