End to end speed (Fastest)

[hardenASG13]

Running at full speed John Wall. Quickest to accelerate to full speed DRose

That's the best answer I've ever seen on the topic TBH.

You think they were faster than Iverson? His game was all speed and he won 4 scoring titles as a 6 foot (generous) guard. It's why he fell off so quickly when he lost a step. Those 2 were fast, I don't think on AIs level though

I thought it was mostly due to his side to side quickness & Agility

[clippertown]

I would imagine end to end speed would probably belong to a taller player, with longer strides. Speed with the ball in hand and the ability to stop or maneuver should be a significant factor in this question.

Are you guys kidding not including Iverson?
Is Iverson considered a plumber already?

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

Granger was also an older rookie and his career ended because of injuries more so than him aging out.

Don't get me wrong, LeBron's longevity is still wild, but that particular example is a bit different.

Lebron is literally a different animal - for real for real

Giannis Was in that draft class at 15 he is still doing ok lol
Now will he play 10 more years I doubt it but I wouldn’t mind 8 more years

[GreatWhiteStiff]

Wall already getting so much credit but with the ball he was so fast.

[GreatWhiteStiff]

What if I told you this man was low key the fastest player in the nba?

[TwitterFingers]

Tony Parker should be on the list

[mdonnelly1989]

.

[Pachinko_]

I'd say Rose as well
Man, what a total beast that guy was before injuries
not only he'd push the ball up as fast as anyone but then he'd slam it so hard it looked like he'd break someone's arm if they tried to block him

[Alatan]

Wade looked the fastest to me. In a league of his own.

[vagelis]

Young Jordan maybe the fastest one.
Derrick Rose is close and Lebron James was very fast in open court.

If we talk about acceleration, Derrick Rose is the quickest.

Wade (flash) was very fast and very quick but not the quickest and fastest of all time imo.

If we talk about combination of speed and quickness

1) Rose
2) Jordan
3) Wade

[Hoop Hunter]

For context - LeBron was in the league 7 years before wall and has been playing 3 years after Wall pretty much stopped playing nba basketball-

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.

Don't get me wrong, LeBron's longevity is still wild, but that particular example is a bit different.

We're getting off the fastest subject, but I gotta add.

With a healthy Danny Granger I think we would have knocked off the Heatles, at least once. We almost did it with Lance in Granger's spot.

[Ritzo]

Ish Smith

[Optms]

No Iverson? Really?

[Slade3]

How come you didn't include D Wade? He was known as the Flash for a reason.

[ReggiesKnicks]

How come you didn't include D Wade? He was known as the Flash for a reason.

Not for his end-to-end speed. Wade was flash because he could teleport through a defense with his slashing.

[CodeBreaker]

Prime DWade

[floppymoose]

When Harrison Barnes was a rookie he had the fastest second and third step on fast breaks. He would start out even with some defender and then just pull away to be about 4 feet ahead.

[Raps in 4]

Why isn't Luka part of this list? Nico stan confirmed

We should do a Luka, Jokic, Harden, KAT one.
