[WATCH] Bucks Player Does Something In 30 Seconds That Most Fans Can't

Bucks’ Sterling Brown names all 50 states in less than 30 seconds

What skills do athletes and teams need to become great? Two central, essential answers among many: Clarity of mind and pure speed. Sterling Brown of the Milwaukee Bucks demonstrated these two qualities in a way you might not have been prepared to expect.


The knowledge of all 50 states isn’t the focus of this brief display. Having the mapped-out framework to spit out the 50 states in under 30 seconds is the true demonstration of mental prowess. Brown’s impressive lucidity — a marriage of a great plan with equally great execution — mirrors the Bucks’ sharpness and alertness this season under head coach Mike Budenholzer.


Narrowly viewed, this episode might seem utterly trivial without any news value whatsoever. To be sure, it leans to the light and fluffy side of a complicated and intense sports world, with the NBA just a month away from stepping into its frenzied playoff cauldron. However, it is not a 100-percent substance-free event.

When a player such as Sterling Brown so obviously indicates how free and focused his mind truly is, that is an indication of how locked-in Brown and the Bucks have been this season. The playoffs will challenge them in ways the regular season never can, but if this clarity emerges in late April and the first half of May, the Bucks might continue their journey into early June.

Sterling Brown embodies the Milwaukee Bucks in an unexpected way.



The order of the states as he rattled them off. The thing is they are not in any particular order!

Here’s the order Brown recites the states:

  1. Illinois
  2. Iowa
  3. Nebraska
  4. Ohio
  5. Cali
  6. South Dakota
  7. North Dakota
  8. New Mexico
  9. Nevada
  10. Oklahoma
  11. Oregon
  12. Washington
  13. Montana
  14. Arkansas
  15. Alabama
  16. Delaware
  17. Maine
  18. Indiana
  19. Texas
  20. Georgia
  21. New York
  22. Idaho
  23. Kentucky
  24. Connecticut
  25. Penn
  26. New jersey
  27. North Carolina
  28. South Carolina
  29. Michigan
  30. New Hampshire
  31. Vermont
  32. Florida
  33. Mississippi
  34. Wyoming
  35. Colorado
  36. Utah
  37. Wisconsin
  38. Minnesota
  39. Alaska
  40. Hawaii
  41. Tennessee
  42. Virginia
  43. West Virginia
  44. Massachusetts
  45. Rhode island
  46. Louisiana

We have a second round draft pick that became a multiple time all-star who can recite, in order, every player taken ahead of him in his draft.

What do we win?

Just imagine a US map in your head and list the states going West to East. Like reading a book.

The ABC order people are slightly less impressive.

That’s pretty impressive. I could not do either. I might be able to recite WS winners in order from 2000-present.

The crazy thing is that you are posting about 1 of your players' intelligence and it isn't Malcom Brogdon.

Don't be surprised if he is POTUS in 30 years. Dude is ridiculously impressive.

Oh yeah. They faced the Astros when they’ve were still a NL team I think. Sometimes I forget the white Sox exist. No offense.

Most of Chicago agrees with you.

I can post all the NBA champs in order since 2015 and even tell you who they beat in the Finals!

I know you are all super impressed.

I can recite all 50 states in order of the year that they became states and name the current Governor.

All of that in under 20 seconds. :nod:

Without looking, which state was the first? Last? Last of the lower 48? First non contiguous?

I used to be an ABC guy. We had to sing a state song in gradeschool. But today, I forgot how the tune went after Indiana. Imagining the map is easier, but I'm sure I'll mess it up in the north east.


In what order is Sterling Brown using? He's not going by a map and it doesn't seem to be from memorization.



That’s pretty impressive. I could not do either.
Really? Americans that don’t know basic facts about America annoy me.
