Obviously a current list but as a basketball fan the top 4 is honestly fine even tho Westbrook is slowly falling out of his athletic prime. Fox is obviously #1 and John Wall would’ve been #1 if he wasn’t injured all the time. Ish Smith is a role player who’s actually been the most traded player ever. I’d also add Donovan Mitchell as his 3/4 court sprint in Nba combine history
Simmons and Giannis definitely belong on this list too. Giannis sprinting back on defense to contest a shot might legitimately be the fastest player in the NBA- look at his defensive highlights from the finals if you don't believe it, the man is insane. Regularly covering the floor in two dribbles, lightning-fast eurosteps... they don't call that man the Greek Freak for nothing.
Ben Simmons is just fast. I don't know why or how. By all accounts, a 6'9 Australian shouldn't be able to move like that but once he gets into transition and starts moving downhill it's wraps, man. Unironically- he's unstoppable on NBA 2k for a reason.
