This must be fast break finishers? Otherwise Nash and Kidd would have to be on there because they run the break so well. Bron' is great on the break, he can finish so easily and handles the ball so well himself. I think Marion is underrated here because he so often starts the break with a rebound and he catches those 'oops like no one else. Josh Smith is a naaasty finisher in transition too.

My very first thought was Marion. I haven't seen enough of Ellis to say his name, but it looks like he's one of the leaders according to this thread.

No love for Parker? He has incredible finishing ability on the break for someone his size.

My boy Monta is Super Sick with It.

Is it seriously *that* hard to make sure the thread title and poll question match up with the opening post?

Voting Nash.

I mean seriously.

Lebron probably has an argument for greatest finisher of all time (or at least in the future will for the simple fact he hasn't played long enough).

LeBron James because no one can stop him on the break.

AK47. Mr. 5x5 can beat you so many ways on the fast break. On the offensive end he can finish with a dunk or find the open man for the assist. On the defensive end he can stop the opponent's fast break with a spectacular block or use his Inspector Gadget arms and great anticipation to get a well-timed steal and is an excellent rebounder as well.

I have to take issue with the difference between the thread title and the OP. Best fast-break player would be to me between the top point guards in the game, who obviously aren't the top scorers.

Parker should be there... after all he was better at the fastbreak than Lebron in the finals
