LeBron, VC, James Worthy & Dominique Wilkins all come to mind.

These are guys who seemingly could dunk on every possession running up the court.

Of course he's not even the best 3 point shooter, rebounder, shotblocker, stealer, passer, etc.

I still think he's the best in fastbreaks though. Every time I see him on a fastbreak, I hold my breath expecting a masterpiece of epic proportions. Ending in a beautiful mesmerizing dunk or an amazing acrobatic layup. Often dunking on big guys and posterizing them.

I know your idol LeBron is good in the fastbreak but he's nothing compared to Jordan's fastbreak awesomeness.

Barkely was better than your MJ

Lebron has not competition during his era that competes with him in fastbreaks

[Horatio33]

Not saying Tim Duncan is in the all time starting 5 but he is great at getting out on the break. Barkley himself said Dunan and Webber were the best big man runners he'd ever seen.

Barkley was one of the best fastbreak finishers but over MJ?

MJ's artistry, creativity and ruthlessness as a fastbreak finisher is second to none.

yes over MJ. Barkley may have zero rings but dont mistaken that for MJ being better than Barkley when it comes to fast breaks

You stans think MJ walked on water on the court

I guess some players showcased it more than others, and it was mostly due to the type of offense they played in.

Magic and Worthy showcased it shitload more than others because that's the offense they ran. It also helps that Magic at 6'9 created so many mismatch issues and had great court vision, so credit is given to him as well. Not just anybody can run a break that way no matter what the coach draws up.

I'm not sure if I put Worthy on the list because he benefited from Magic more than any one player has in this instance.

Bron is an obvious choice for most, but while he's great on an open court he isn't as great as others when there's defenders in the way. Yes he's great but if it's not a dunk he has trouble finishing at times, which why some may have included Worthy on the list.

Kidd used to create breaks out of nowhere somehow. And he's not even a fast player compared to most point guards.

Are people forgetting how well Bill Russell ran the break? it was text book everything. From floor spacing, passing, having the proper timing, angles

[Dr.J4ever]

Julius Erving. No doubt. No one ran the wings better than the Doctor ever

Barkley was a freight train in the fast break, but in terms of creativity, artistry, ruthlessness and finishing, MJ >>> Barkley

I doubt you even watched the 90s NBA.

I suggest you watch MJ and Pippen fastbreaks on YouTube that will educate you.

CWebb deserves a mention imo
