Who would you call more athletic and why?

I'd call unlv and very early Cha era Larry more athletic because he was such an absurd combo of size and strength with quickness and some hops. After that I'd say Latrell. Once Larry's body started breaking down he wasn't all that athletic. Just strong.

In their prime years, it’s LJ no doubt. Power, Strength, Speed, and Quickness. In terms of maintaining freak athleticism, Spree takes it!

A lot of my memories of LJ are during his Knicks days where he looked pretty labored, meanwhile Spree maintained his athleticism even up to his Minnesota days

Spree pretty easily, he's a top 10 most athletic 2 guard of all time. Is LJ even a top 10 most athletic PF of the 90s?
