    Does the NBA record 40 times like the NFL? That would be a simple way to end this discussion.

    Screw this, we need an All Star game competition with players clocked dribbling end to end.

    Actually, if they are running the 100... I'm taking Lebron. He would be a better sprinter than all these midgets.

    If we are really talking about fastest and not quickest it isn't Aaron Brooks. I remember it being printed that Rafer consistently beat Brooks in wind sprints during practice and it sounded like both guys were serious about trying to beat the other.

    Nate Robinson can run a 4.3 in the 40. For a 100 I'm taking Nate, Rondo, and Lebron.

    True, I think it depends on if we're talking with the ball. Aaron is probably among the fastest WITH the ball, IMO. Without the ball there's way too much competition to pick anyone accurately.

    Asking for BBS to vote for Brooks is like what you people assume China does for Yi. They homer in the votes. This poll, however, is a bit debatable. So is KG vs Yi :p

    Wow that list is just wow. There are a lot of guys missing on that list that would probably be faster than some on that list. For example. D.J Augustine. Maybe T.J Ford.

    Plus wind sprints on a court that's 94 ft long isn't a test of speed anyway. You need to put guys on a track and let them go head to head at 50 and 100 yards to see who is faster. I bet Aaron beats Rafer every time on a track.
