4. dwyane wade
5. tyreke evans
6. kyrie irving
7. james harden
8. monta ellis
9. tony parker
10. manu ginobili
and i dont think melo, kobe, or durant are slashers since they settle with jumpshots most of the times

Lol. Wade is a terrible slasher. The defense always gets in front of him and he resorts to that stupid half pivot turnaround hookshot/pass out of double team :lol

Kyrie actually uses skills to get into lane instead of just speed and can finish with either hand
Harden, hands down. He does it in traffic against 2 or 3 defenders.

Harden to me. Dude gets into the lane with amazing ease considering his size

Kyrie and Harden are the two biggest ones that come to mind. Rose would be up there if he were healthy. Westbrook can attack the rim but he doesn't do as much slashing as he does simply just going one way and not having to change direction, much like LeBron James.

LeBron doesn't slice as much or as efficient as others to me, but he is the best finisher.
Harden, Parker and Westbrook for me. I hardly see Kyrie play, so I can't say.

Slashing means going to the hole, it has nothing to do with how many times you change direction.

James Harden runs with so much force and bearded fury that you would die if you stepped in front of him

Yes he is one of my favorites because he puts the announcers instead of gay music in the background and there's not 10 replays of every highlight like most videos, just straight highlights!

Harden is by far the best and most consistent. However when Irving gets hot, he seems to slash more and when he does it he is absolute unstoppable. It's amazing to watch as he will literally cross 2-3 people on 1 possession and getto the rim where he is automatic.

1.Westbrook
2.James
3.Harden
4.Irving
All extremely skilled slashers.

chico please ..
Wade is shooting 52fg% ..thats an amazing percentage
in February he shot 53% and in March hes at 58% now.
and hes getting his teammates open shots with his slashing... think about how many open 3s the Heat get .. how many easy alley oops is Birdman gettin from Wade and Lebron theyre making him look like Tyson Chandler out there

Pretty much the whole Denver Nuggets roster
Lawson, Miller, Chandler, Iggy, Gallo, Brewer, Hamilton & theres someone else I'm forgetting.
But #1 overall for me is Tony Parker, has the ability to spin both ways and finishes with ethier hand and gets into the paint as easy as anyone.
