    I'm going with Barkley as #2.

    Tied for 3rd are Bird and Melo

    Shawn Kemp was much quicker than Barkley for crying out loud.

    David Robinson. So quick. It's amazing how much better Hakeem was than David considering how incredible David was.

    Kevin Willis' baseline spin was ridiculous.

    Yao had an awesome baseline spin, but it wasn't that quick. Not surprising because he was 300 lbs.

    I'm saying David Robinson too.

    I used to love watching Larry Johnson playing in the post. His handles down there were underrated...fun player to watch.

    When his career is over, Blake Griffin may have one of the best spin moves ever. He's a much more effective point forward, but I like the mild comparison to Anthony Mason.

    Mase could play point guard, post up and use a spin move to score. If he kept in better shape, he would have won more games, especially when he had George Karl supporting his wackiness.

    Deandre Jordan, spun so fast out of that verbal commit he left Cuban bamboozled.

    80s: James Worthy
    90s: Charles Barkley
    00s: Chris Webber
    10s: Al Jefferson

    Overall, the slickest of them belong to prime Worthy.

    (aside from Dream, of course)

    nope,,,do you want to see Barkley's 76'rs vids at equal age to Kemp.

    There is not one thing Kemp did better than Barkley, except being 6 inches taller.

    This really isn't true. Even when Chuck was beasting like a 6'4" Shaq in Philly, his effort level on the defensive end was inconsistent.

    Kemp in his prime was a much more engaged and impactful defender.
