Another thing I'm curious about on the physical level, and this one is more specific. Obviously Rose and Westbrook have the best ones in recent memory, and MJ and Iverson were up there in the past.
I'd go with James Harden, DeAaron Fox and Westbrook in some order.
What would you say?

Austin Rivers tops this list amongst least known players with a quick first step lol.

Young Carmelo had one of the best first steps I’ve ever seen.
His triple threat was un-guardable when he was in Denver.

Young Tony Parker was one of the quickest guard I've seen on the floor period.
I'd throw Prime Wade in the list as well.

Kyrie can burn anyone pretty quickly.

Problem with him is that he'll burn you but then step back so he can dribble some more lol.

Larry Bird said that Lonnie Shelton had the quickest first step of anyone he ever had to guard, even after he got fat

Young Wade, I think John Wall, and Dante Exum had a stupid quick first step.

Young Wade I would argue had the quickest first step of all time. That's basically how he got to the paint every single time in the early days

Kyrie, Harden, Westbrook, and Fox. Those are the tops.

He is easily the quickest player that can legitimately play SG.
Schroeder is a beast. Can’t wait until he gets back.

Austin rivers, even tho he cancels it out with his abysmal finishing around the rim.
Jeremy Lin during his pre injury days.
young Melo had a devastating first step in his nugget days
