    Re: OT: NBA's 10 fasest players.

    Sebastian Telfair should really be on this list.

    LeBron shouldnt be on the list. He is very fast for his size, but in terms of just pure speed, there are a lot of guys in the league faster.

    Is he as fast as the rest of those guys? He certainly hasn't shown it this summer for the Warriors (but I never really saw him play in Atlanta).

    And if Monta Ellis fully recovers from his moped injury, I don't think there's anyone faster, especially with the ball.

    If you factor in his stride he's probably equally as fast. It only takes him a few dribbles to get from basket to basket. Fast long strides equals quicker shorter strides.

    One of the fastest guards I've seen with the ball from last year is Mike Taylor. That guy is a burner.

    I agree Monta Ellis can flat out fly and turn corners faster than a lot of those players who made the top 10.

    I can't believe people are already on the Derrick Rose ship. He's fast but iunno about the fastest.

    Ford should definitely be top 3.

    Lebron is really fast. For his size. He's not top 3 though, let's get real. He's x10 more explosive than he is fast though.

    When I saw the list, I barfed at how Rose became first. I thought it was gonna go to Ellis.

    I believe Rose would be top 3-5. But didn't really expect him to be 1st.
