is John Wall really the quickest/fastest player in the League?

[Slaimon Khan Shah]

May Allah guide John Wall to Islam.

 

[itsyoung!!]

when they were playing the thunder a few days ago I seen Wall torch Russ on a fast break in the 4th quarter I was on some shyt after

Wall is fast it may be some random dude like Dennis schorder or someone whose "Faster" but they don't play as fast as Wall does with the ball...

d rose was very fast still is but he's lost a step and Russy has lost half of a step...But honestly Wall will as well as age continues and other players come along...

but bear in mind there is speed with the Ball and Speed without the ball..
no one is faster than Wall with the ball.

 

[Pesci]

isn't Leandro Barbosa supposed to be super fast? maybe not now that he's old

Kyrie is the quickest

His first step is impossible to stay in front of

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

I bet John Wall got a 3.2 40 yard dash

But Tony Parker, Leandro Barbosa and Monta Ellis are the fastest dudes I've seen with a ball in their hands. Devin Harris used to fly too

highlights of Ish Smith?

No, he isn't. He's crafty, good at change of pace, and he throws a lot of subtle fakes that embarrass defenders but he isn't the quickest.

His first step is nowhere near Westbrook, Lawson, or even Rose now.

Westbrook has a first step that looks unreal in person. He's one of the few players that doesn't need a fake to just blow past you which is absolutely insane at the NBA level.

Westbrook has an average fist step.

But he has the greatest 4th step in NBA history. Its why he always has to create room to get to that 4th step. You'll see him back-up and go to the side of a defender. Sort of like using an imaginary pick.

Has anyone actually seen Ish Smith play or do y'all rely on NBA 2K for your scouting?

John Wall is the fastest human with a basketball I have ever seen.

Yea at Wake Forest all the time and in the NBA dude is the fastest from end to end with the ball I ever seen in my life.

And this was before he joined the Thunder:

At the draft combine 3/4 court sprint, Wall finished just ahead of Westbrook where the two players finished in 3.05 seconds and 3.08 seconds respectively.

Back in the mid 2000's, I thought one of his ancestors may have got raped by a Cheetah or some shyt
