Fastest/quickest player ever & today

[youvalss]

I go with KJ as the quickest guy ever. After KJ I go with Iverson (in his prime, of course).

Today? Barbosa. Others: Parker, CP3.

It can be one of 30+ dudes. Don't see the need to single out one person and say they are the BEST. Never really liked, "Who is the best" type of questions when it comes to things that can't be measured

Re: Fastest/quickest player ever & today

DC, it's a subjective thread, I don't expect anyone to give facts (such as measuring KJ's running speed). It's OK to give your opinion about this thread just like it was fine to say who's the best dunker ever on another thread. And I never said that everyone must post here.

Re: Fastest/quickest player ever & today

It depends on what you want to define. I'd say the fastest player in the NBA is probably LeBron, with Devin The Dude© close behind. All time...man, really hard question.

Quicks is probably AI all time, with maybe AI still right now.

Before Monta got injured, he was probably one of, if not the fastest/quickest dude in the league.

I'd say TJ Ford today...

Re: Fastest/quickest player ever & today

If anyone said one of the following:

Devin Harris
Allen Iverson
Monta Ellis
TJ Ford
Ray Felton
Dirk Rose
LeBron
Barbosa Leandro
Marcus Banks
Sebastian Telfair
Aaron Brooks
Rajon Rondo
Nathaniel Robinson
Tony Parker
Kevin Martin

I wouldn't argue.

For some reason I don't view CP3 as having break neck speed/quickness like the rest of those dudes. He is very shifty if you ask me, that is why he is able to get where he wants to on the court.

Mike Conley's extremely quick too. I can't talk about "fastest", but I've never seen anything like Iverson in his first three years. That's the only time I ever saw one player seem faster than EVERYONE else.

Re: Fastest/quickest player ever & today

Man when I watch Rose, that dude moves at another pace. I enjoy watching his SPEED/QUICKNESS more than anyone else

He is very fast and the way he changes direction can only be compared to CP3 who is the best in the league at that right now.

As for all time quicks I think it's AI and there is no question. Kevin Johnson had one of the quickest 1st steps of all time if that's how your judging quicks.

TJ Ford and Nate are very quick. Barbosa & Devin Harris seem really fast to me.
