"Who is the fastest player in the NBA?" Is perhaps the a misleading question to ask because fastest to me implies straight line speed which isn't as important in Basketball as quickness (which entails acceleration and the ability to change directions quickly).
Derrick Rose stands out to me as the quickest player with the ball in his hands.
Rajon Rondo stands out to me as the quickest player without the ball in his hands.
And Russell Westbrook seems to have the best combination of straight line and quickness.
Julius Erving,Michael Jordan,or Wilt Chamberlain
JOHN STOCKTON
Rajon Rondo
Kentucky
Fastest NBA Playerits probably Dwayne wade or derrick rosethe fastest nba player is rajon rando.i think its shannon brown of the lakersThese guys are very wrong the fastest nba player is ty lawson from the nuggetsnot only is shannon brown the fastest but he also has the sickest hops of these players.No, it's probably one out of Derrick Rose, Tony Parker, Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul and Allen Iverson.
Oscar Robertson
LeBron james
NO WAY! Aaron Brooks from the rockets is!!!!!!!
On a fast break going from one end of the floor to another, LeBron James runs faster than anyone. He is a steam train, going unbelievably fast.I believe the fastest basketball player in the NBA with the ball would have to be Ben Parker. There may be players around who can officially move faster with the ball, however, based on consistancy I would say Ben Parker wins it.The fastest basketball player in the NBA is Tony Parker.
The NBA player on the NBA logo is Jerry West.
