Monta's a better fast break player than Baron is IMO.

Being quick is a very small part of being a great fast break and transition player. Good hands and finishing abilities are just as (if not more) important.


Im going with melo. He has been on a fast break team his whole career.

Chris Paul if you want to factor in passing abilities. :)

If not, LeBron

The correct answer is LeBron, but Nash should be on the poll at least.

Monta ellis. We don't call him our One man Fast Break for no reason. He can finish really well, can change his shot, he is really something special as he is only 22 years old.

In terms of finishing it's LeBron or Ellis IMO.

LBJ runs like a deer, has sick 1 on 1 skills and is a great finisher. Then come RJ and Carmelo IMHO.

I don't know how you could take anyone but LeBron for this one. Who else would you want on the wing on a fast break?

I don't normally make statements like this but it's LeBron and it's not even remotely close.

Lebron is good but when there's a fastbreak and Monta Ellis is even involved in that attack, you might as well prepare back for defense. Lebron has the speed and strength but Ellis is literally made for the fastbreak. He even made a game winning basket on a fastbreak.

No love for Iverson?

He's unbelievable on the break.
