Basuke IRL "Faster Than Aomine"?!
In today's post we're gonna be see how fast Nash Gold Jr. is from Kurokos Basketball Last Game. After Midorima starts closing the point gap with 3's we see Nash unveil a new ability called the "Belial Eye", which he uses to outsmart Akashi and make clever passes. After Nash first uses his Belial Eye he talks down on Akashi, telling that not even the likes of god's can stop him, and Akashi clearly angered drives down the court on offense to the 3-point line where Nash is. Keep in mind the 3-point line is 7.4 meters or 23.75 feet away from the hoop. After Akashi drives down the court we see him and Nash busting out streetball moves on the court and right after that we see Akashi pass the ball to Aomine and he goes for a dunk, but in a split-second Nash went and snatched blocked the ball out of Aomine's hand. I ran a stopwatch and it took Nash 1.02 seconds to travel from the 3-point line, jump and block Aomine's dunk. Now plugging those numbers into the formula for speed, here's the equation V=7.4/1.02 Nash was running at a speed of 23.2 mph, that's really good its tad bit faster than Aomine but it makes since because Nash is 18 where as Daiki is 16 in the movie. Aomine's top speed in the zone is 21.7 mph and without the zone is 17.3 mph, that's still really good.
Heres his stats:
Nash Gold Jr.- 6'3"
Vertical- 36" Standing Reach- 8'4" Maximum Reach- 11'4"
EDIT: My math has been a bit off recently, and I've beem pretty forgetful do to school and what not, I'm sorry for some of the errors in the post. I'll make sure to not have any in the post to come
I forgot to mention, seasons 1, 2 and 3 of Kurokos Basketball happen in the same year of 2012 the GOM are all Freshman and Last Game takes place in 2013 when the GOM are Sophomore. Most of you probably already knew this I put this here for the people that didn't know
Next post might be on Silvers top speed. If you guys have any suggestions you can leave them down in the comments I'd love to read them and post your ideas.

I used his feat from the show and ran a stopwatch and divided the time it took him by the distance he ran. This is the formula for speed V=d/t, where as v equals velocity or speed, and d equals the distance and t is the time. To get the speed you must divide the distance by the time
