Imo, this guy is the fastest player in the NBA that's taller than 6'4. The only player over 6'4 that might be as fast as him is Livingston. Which players in the NBA are faster than Martin? Do you think he's the fastest player in the NBA? No one on the Mavs could keep up with him tonight.

I do agree, joey
Maybe right there with LBJ, though.

I didn't forget LBJ and Wade. I think Martin is faster than both of them.

Hmm, yeah, I think Martin is quicker than LBJ. LeBron's close, though.

Shaun livingston is not that fast. Hes pretty average actually.
Devin Harris is pretty speedy too. Same with Brandon Roy. Wade is really fast but not quite as fast as kevin because hes much more muscular.

Wasn't Livingston's pre-draft full court sprint ridiculously fast? I would say he was/is above average.

I don't think it's an undeserved thread... it's not like it's ever been discussed before. How joey put it.
Besides, Martin deserves more recognition.

? So? That looks like any other pointguard running a fast break. And the second one is (Please Use More Appropriate Word) dancing, not foot speed.

Joey Graham has blazing speed w/o the ball, they guy is a pure athlete not much of a basketball player.

That's my point. The guy is 6'7 but has the speed of an NBA pg. That's why I said 6'4 or above when I started the thread. I know that TJ Ford and Barbosa are probably as fast as Martin and Livingston.

Kobe's speed is underrated.

Kobe's lost a step from his prime IMO.
