Rose is the fastest player I've ever seen. Once in a while he'd hit some short of hyper-speed and just explode down the court

Pretty sure either Thompson twin is as fast as anyone that’s ever played, at least without the ball. Their handles aren’t there yet, looks a little awkward at times.

A 19-year-old Michael Jordan was amongst the fastest NFL players in the NFL draft combine. Michael Jordan's 4.38 run time is exceptional (LeBron recorded a 4.91 run). In comparison, the fastest man on the planet Usain Bolt ran 4.22 in the 40-yard-dash in NFL testing, Jordan’s run was and still is amongst the best ever.

Ty Lawson played for my crappy Euroleague team during lockout, never was particularly good, probably just needed more time to adjust. But people said that these flashers with questionable shot just do not fit Euro basketball, the rules just cripples slashers, which is true. But at that time, we in Europe, had this guy Bo McCalebb, and he wasn't a shooter, just a short slasher, and he was amazing. He had no business being as good as he was. I still feel Bo never got a fair chance in the NBA, because he was Ty Lawson coded, but better in a lot of ways, at least thats how I feel. His game should have worked in the NBA far better, I was always perplexed he is in Europe and not NBA.

I still remember watching CAVS vs Pacers game, where young Danny Granger torched Bron in first half. and after a break, NBA superstar LeBron James is asked about ''youngster'' Danny Granger, and LeBron is like - yeah, great kid, bright future, lots of potential.

Like Dude, Danny Granger has been out of the league for more than a decade now :lol:

Based on my **** eye test, Westbrook looked the fastest to me in his prime. But basing stuff like this on your eye test isn't a good way to measure anything tbqh.

By the time Lawson ended up over there, he was struggling with his own demons. Ty at UNC and early in his career was so fast.

He was still very good in 2011, but soon after Žalgiris stin, he fallen off.

LeBron isn’t the goat because I saw MJ play- but man he has a lot of GOATLIKE tendencies- like being available and great for 21 years - dude dropped 40 a couple days ago- wtf
