    Lebron should not be on the list - he's like 250 lbs

    94 feet is a bit short to fully measure a person's speed but it isn't like Rafer or Aaron are big guys that really get going after 100 feet. I doubt the results would be different whether it be 94, 150 or 300 feet and I'm not sure how you come to your conclusion. What physical gift does Brooks have that Rafer doesn't that would make Brooks come from behind and win after 94 feet?

    Although he has more kilos than anyone on Cavs (now excluding Shaq) he's also the fastest player on his team I believe

    I know because the commentator would always bring that up, how he runs out everyone on sprints

    man's a freak of nature

    basketball speed isn't track speed. different.
    in basketball, obviously, sometimes you need to move laterally in the middle of everything. AB is as fast as they come at accelerating.
