I was watching some Kemp's highlights and since is an off season I think is a good subject.

Some nominations that ive seen them play

Giannis (for me the most athletic)

Keep

Amare

Griffin

Chambers (made my most favourite dunk ever)

Garnett

Pre injuries McDyes

Pre injuries Johnson

I am quite sure that i am missing a few.

Gotta be Giannis. The combination of speed, leaping ability, strength and explosiveness make him one of the best athletes at any position.

Amare definitely deserves an honorable mention. Absolute freak athlete.

Dominique Wilkins. He's not called the "Human Highlight Film" for nothing. I guess most consider him a SF, but he'd be a PF in today's game.

Young/prime Barkley is near the top IMO. Being that undersized, and able to run, jump, block against taller players like that was not ordinary.

LeBron played as a PF a lot when he was in MIami and was still freakish athletic, so he is my choice.

Pre micro fracture Amare averaged 37ppg in playoffs against prime tim Duncan. Not as athletic as Giannis.. but got to see his athleticism on full display with Nash setting him up perfectly ever night.

It's Zion. Being that fast and explosive at 285? He's 6'7 285 (and larger when he's fat)and can blow by SGs and completely dominate the paint. He's more explosive than prime Barkley and 3 inches taller. He's a legit generational athlete and I mean that in terms of we won't see others like him more frequently than 30 years.

Giannis is a better basketball player because he has a legit great bbiq and is 4 inches taller with better wingspan ratio and also a freak athlete, with a better handle. Zion is a better pure athlete though.

Giannis is an all timer with no skills according to some. I'd vote for him.

Lots of good ones already mentioned. My favorite one to watch was Kemp. I just loved his dunks. He seemed like he always wanted to tear the rim off lol. Good ol times.
