    Id take Tony Parker or Devin Harris. Both of them get to the basket faster than anybody in the game IMO and nobody ever can catch tony on a fast break. If i had to go with one of them, I would go with Tony. I am a spurs fan afterall...

    well l0l its hard to judge how fast they are based on how they play in games cuz they cant run their fastest speed down the court..I say Lebron because he played football which requires a lot of running..and im pretty sure he was a wide receiver which would lead me to assume hes really fast..i dunno..im not really an expert on examining qualities of people in games but whatevermaybe Tony Parker but I'm not much of a western conference basketball fan and don't watch their games as much as I should

    Why does it matter if Lebron has played football? I have seen guys who are quicker then Lebron out on the court. Lebron is definately not the fastest player in basketball.oh, I just remembered one. Dwyane Wade-Flash. Dwyane is one of the fastest players. He is able to blow by his oppenents and attack the basket before the defense can react or do anything about it. You've got to list Dwyane in this..

    The only advantage that Lebron would have on alot of the other players is that he would have alot bigger of strides. Even with taking that in to consideration, I would still take every guy on Tonys list over him in a race.

    I agree, he was a kick returner in college and even at his age, he's still one of the fastest if not the fastest. It's between him and Earl Boykins for me.

    It's probably Terrance 'T.J.' Ford. The guy is lightning...but the difference between the top 5 guys is probably very little.

    I'm taking Allen Iverson at the top of the list. During the Olympics in 2004, the team was training and they were about to leave the complex... AI had his street clothes, jewelry, and everything on, and the guys challenged him to run a mile with everything on under six minutes... he ran it in 4 minutes in street clothes.My top 5:Allen IversonTony ParkerTJ FordDwyane WadeDevin Harris/Leandro Barbosa
