Is Russell Westbrook the fastest player in NBA history?

[Dizzle-2k7]

sorry but theres now way devin harris was ever faster than westbrook

[The_Yearning]

Rose gets injured for some time and now people think Westbrook is the new fast don't lie

[FindingTim]

Westbrook looks more like a video game than any other player.

[inclinerator]

lin?

[OKCThunderUP]

Nah, derrick rose is faster than him and has better body control. westbrook might be super quick attacking the rim, but end to end, rose is much faster.

Uh, no he's not.

[SacJB Shady]

I honestly think Lin is faster than Westbrook. At the very least, he is a better player than Russel.

With opinions like this you could get a job with ESPN in a heartbeat.

Leandro Barbosa was pretty damn fast end to end.

1. Two step explosion (i.e from 19 feet to 12 feet) and then take off for a dunk..there has never ever ever been a player more explosive at that than Russell Westbrook.

2. End to end pure no defense speed while dribbling - debateable between a lot of players. In discussion (in my order)
John Wall
Derrick Rose

3. End to end speed with people on the court and trying to stop them
Lebron James
John Wall
...debateable

3. Pure quickness (in the halfcourt, first step etc)
Players I can't remember but are small/quick like Speedy Claxton, random pg's. A lot of them are insanely quick first step..but the ability to finish/eurostep/get to the rim for a makeable shot is being included in this..so Derrick Rose is 1st.

there is no way you watched Harris play with the Mavs, saying you disagree with one thing but acting like it wasn't close is wrong

[imdaman99]

devin harris? who the hell is devin harris? oh you mean the guy that baron davis bitched in the 1st round. how well did devin harris ever use that speed?

someone post that amazingly video game like dunk westbrook did where he flew down the lane in a nanosecond

Ppl have very short term memory. ive never seen a player take the ball end to end like rose can. he is faster and quicker than any pg in the game, PERIOD.

[Big_Dogg]

doesn't just about every commentator ride Ty Lawson's nuts and about how fast he is?

[Eric Cartman]

My opinion: It's way to close to call between Wade, Westbrook & Rose. Neither of those options are incorrect.

[ralph_i_el]

with the ball no one is faster than wall.
