    T-Mac didn't qualify since he never actually made the full journey from one baseline to the other.

    As if Yao is not the slowest.

    Classic example of the American media not letting Yao beat Shaq at something...

    Your lack of sense of humor is almost as bad a T-mac's defense...

    This list is bs if Eddy Curry doesnt make the top 3!

    He has got to be way slower than Z or Yao.

    Let me see

    Constantly injured center with leg problems
    Apparently the third slowest player from baseline to baseline


    And Rick wants to STILL try and play an up-tempo offense ?

    I know, fo real! I don't care if he's not playing at the moment, can't Rick see he's tiring the guy out from just watching them play?!

    The funniest part is that Bavetta is so serious from the beginning of the race. When Ernie talked to Bavetta, Bavetta was looking at the ground with a cold look.

    It's nice to know that even if he's the tallest athlete in the league, he isn't the slowest. The size is a factor with the speed of the player. Most (if not all) small guys are definitely faster than the big ones. A distant third for a 7'6 or 7'7 player? I'll take it any time of the day.

    I want to ask anyone here. How fast (or slow) was George Muresan, Manut Bol, and Shawn Bradley? Did I miss anyone? Thanks in advance people :)
