    Well, I would consider someone who can play 5 positions to be athletic, but that's just me.

    Sadly that lineup looks like a disaster.

    High-flying dunk-on-your-head sense?

    OK, let me point out that your clarification is all the more reason to put Dream ahead of Shaq. Dream saw parts of the backboard that Shaq only heard rumors about.

    You need to do two things pronto...

    1. Stop posting on this subject now before you embarrass yourself any further.
    2. Go to Youtube and watch every Dream highlight video there is... like this one for starters...

    (pay particular attention to #7 and #4)

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0GCyU0sKxqI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0GCyU0sKxqI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    i'd have hakeem ahead of shaq, for sure. shaq is a giant man with good athletic ability, but nowhere near hakeem's. when hakeem was young, he could jump out of the gym, as he got older, he used his footwork and post skills to dominate everyone (ewing, shaq, robinson, smits... etc.). Shaq would just back you underneath the backboard and dunk. no contest there. but i'd have to give DH12 the nod here, but then again, what he's only 22. Hakeem was doing some sick s*** at that age as well.

    BTW, this isn't the best dunkers of all time, i mean athletic. defense, stamina, verticle, etc... all matter.

    I could think of worse anti-athletes than Kirilenko and Farmar. Derek Fisher on Farmar's own team. Our own Shane Battier can out-plod Kirilenko... :(

    I'd go right now,
    Dwight Howard // Tyson Chandler
    Amare Stoudamire // Tyrus Thomas
    Lebron James // Josh Smith
    Dwyane Wade // Rudy Gay
    Derrick Rose // Nate Robinson

    You see this doesn't make sense.

    Athleticism does not INCLUDE defense.

    Are you asking for people who succesfully use a lot of athleticism to impact games?


    HUGE difference.
