Center-Shaq,Shaq, Shaq, Shaq, Shaq Power Forward-Kwame Small Forward-Lebron,Artest, Tmac, Odom Off Guard-Vince Carter Point Guard-no one A top 3 would be pretty hard to do but I'm going: 1. Shaq 2. Lebron 3. Artest/Kwame (TIE)
Shaq the most athletic player in the league? LMFAO!!!!!!!! He's not even the most athletic center in my opinion (Ben Wallace is). The biggest and strongest, sure, but most athletic? You have to be kidding me!
Yeah theres no way he's the most athletic player in the league. There are tons of players way more athletic. Yes, he's big,strong,and dominant but that doesnt make him the most athletic.
A list of the most athletic nba players IMO:Kobe, Vince Carter, Gerald Green, Wade, Nate Robinson, Baron Davis, Allen Iverson, Ben Wallace, LeBron James, Rodney Carney, Andre Iguodala, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Tyrus Thomas, James WhiteI don't know if I can pick one.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Something-To-Say @ Jul 11 2006, 05:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>i assume this thread is a joke. kwame and shaq? Hahaha</div>Uhhh....NO!A player doesn't have to be good to be athletic. Like I said look at highlights of Shaq in college. HE WAS RUNNING THE FAST BREAK. People assume that because Shaq is big and strong he's not fast. Trust me, everyone in the NBA wish they had Shaq's body. There's a difference between what you were born with and what you chose to become, Shaq chose to become a fat ass instead of the most dominant ever.As for Kwame he was drafted number one mostly off of athletic ability. He has the speed of a guard (was guarding Nash at time off the pick and roll) , and the strength of a big man. He's one of the few people Shaq can't back down. His problem is confidence and worth ethic, if he can clear his mind and work harder he would go out there and be the rich man's Amare, TRUST ME.
But don't you mean athletic NOW? I'd say Shawn Kemp was athletic 15 years ago too. You gotta specify. This would make no sense if you mean most athletic in history. Kemp is more athletic than Kwame in his prime.
Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudamire are up there. But for the record, Lebron James is the most athletic player in the league.
In no particular order:LeBron, Dwyane Wade, VC, Gerald Green, Allen Iverson, Josh Smith, Amdre Igoudala, Kobe...
WOW where's Dwyane Wade?!!? I see this dude on SportsCenter every day...Andre Iguodala should be considered, as well.
Lebron JamesKevin GarnettDwyane WadeAll those guys are really athletic. In my eyes, you cant hand it to just one guy.
I'm assuming this means complete athleticism, not vertical jump like some people seem to think by putting someone like Travis Outlaw. I see LeBron, Kobe, Dwayne Wade, Garnett, Nate Robinson, Carmelo, Igoudala, Vince and Richard Jefferson have to be in the top class. LeBron however, is in a league of his own.
