Fastest Big Men

Who are the fastest big men in the league? I say Ben Wallace is the fastest.

 

Far from it.Lamar Odom, Antawn Jamison, Shawn Marion, Chris Bosh

 

Yeah...Chris Bosh and Marion.

 

To tell you the truth, Shaq is pretty damn fast. The way rises up for dunks tells you lot about how quick he is. Amare is also very quick to the basket, from what I've seen in the 2004-2005 season.

 

I don't really consider Marion a big man. He is more of a SF forced to play PF in that system, in my mind.I'd have to go with Amare or Bosh.

 

Amare Stoudamire, Kevin Garnett, and Lamar Odom.

 

Lamar isn't a big man, he's a SF.

 

But he's played a lot of PF too throughout his career. He could easily be considered a big man.

As much as I hate to say it, and as much as I disrespect this guy, Mark Blount runs the floor extremely well for a 7 footer. He can outrun a lot of centers.

Tyson Chandler is pretty quick

 

Ben Wallace, Amare Stoudemire, Samuel Dalembert, Dwight Howard and Shaquille O'Neal

Yes he does, but that has nothing to do with speed.

 

I'm going to agree with Dwight, Bosh, and Amare as the fastest big men.

 

I think ya'll need to add Dirk to this list as well. I'm not sure if he's the fastest, but surely he's way up there. If he wasnt fast, then there wouldnt be the problem of putting 4 and 5's on him.
