I'd put him at #2 behind Devin Harris. Can't argue w/ Derrick Rose at #1, that boy can fly... http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/pgStory?co ... to=9930738

He's the fastest player in the league, Fox sports writers are the worst I don't even read articles from that site. Speaking of Fox there news is the worst also

A lot of those players like Rondo, CP and Brooks might be quicker but in terms of the 'fastest' LB has to be top 2

YUPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I think Lebron James might be around as fast, and the fact that he's like 260 lbs makes it impossible to guard James. Barbosa should definitely be in Top5 at least not 9th.. People have called him the fastest player in the NBA before..

Harris & Barbosa are the fastest in the NBA.

No one is faster in-game, end-to-end, than those two. Others may have more lateral quickness and better handles to capitalize off of it (Paul, Rose, Parker), but Devin & Leandro are unmatched for speed.

Lebron has chased down Barbs before on a one-on-one fast break, don't remember if he blocked Barbs or not but he's definitely done it on more than one occasion I can remember.

Lebron is just a freak.

Lebron is not the 3rd fastest in the NBA. Thats a joke. He is super athletic. But he isnt faster than Barbosa or Nate Robinson. Geez!

Barbosa doesnt change speed to dribble. No one else in the game that I have seen can maintain speed like him.

Barbosa is by far the fastest. Watch him do a layup drill end to end. I am pretty sure on one of the telecasts during the D'Antoni years,they measured his end to end speed and it was crazy. I know we are homers, but still... Nate Robinson is slower and Lebron. Devin Harris is right there, like 1A I think.

I once ran the tape back on a fastbreak with Leandro and it was ridiculous - like 3.something.
Just stupid fast - I had to run it a bunch of times. The ball hit the ground about twice and leandro finished on the dribble
No homer - kid is faster than about anyone

Personally, I like #9 the most.

Yahoo NBA is running a poll about this. LB is so far leading the poll with 24% of the votes.
