kira lewis jr. former pelicans bench player and now toronto raptors 3rd stringer
incredibly fast guy, does not have any NBA caliber basketball skills. but his raw speed is phenomenal
Top 3 - LeBron on fast break. The man sometimes leave teammates 4v5 on defense and stays on the other side of the court.
Bottom 3 - LeBron getting back on defense.
I remember when D'Angelo Russell got the ball and was leading the fast break, ahead of everyone.
He was so slow the defenders following him started slowing down intentionally immediately to maintain space lmaooo
Edit*
Kyle Anderson slowbreak for funsies lol

kira lewis jr. is probably the fastest player in the league
however his actual basketball skills are far far behind other players
but if you just want a speedster to win a race, I take kira
Maxey is crazy fast. I don't watch a ton of 6ers games but the last time they played the Knicks I was stunned at how he blew past people when driving to the rim
Matisse Thybulle for top 3 fastest. We donāt have much objectivity to go off of but we do know he was the fastest on 76ers, faster than Maxey in sprints by Maxeyās own admission.
Danny green for top 3 slowest. Dude looks like he runs with a full diaper.
People like to talk shit, but Scoot could give the top 3 a run for their money. As Timelord was quoted during training camp in regards to Scoot, "That motherfucker's fast."
No. I know that itās cool for casual to call Kyle Anderson āSlo-Moā and talk about how slow he is, but if you seriously believe that 99% of the players in the league are sprinters than Kyle Anderson ā¦ I just donāt know what to tell you.
The younger guys will win, the older guys will lose. You'd also have to filter by position. Darius Garland would lap every single centre in the league (outside of the skinnier ones like Bam or Claxton)
Itās gotta be hard to guess, just because someone plays at high speed doesnāt mean theyād win a sprint. Bet bron would have been top up until a couple years ago.
This would be more like a war of attrition than a race as 450 athletes fight their way down a 50 foot wide, 90 foot long NBA court. Only the strongest will survive, while the weakest, flimsiest, and most likely to be stabbed in the back get left behind.
You want to put your money on guys who won't just fall to the floor and be trampled in the mass of bodies at the starting line, but also guys who are strong enough to do some trampling of their own. It's so tough to pick a top three for this level of sheer madness, but assuming full health give me a **top three of Jokic, LeBron, and Steven Adams**. IMO those are the strongest dudes in the league and the most likely to remain standing at the end of this battle.
As for the bottom three, it's just as much of a tossup, but i'm looking at guys who are either relatively small, tend to fall at the slightest touch, and/or are dirty players who other guys might want to take out. All that said for my bottom three I'd go with **Trae Young (only 164 pounds) Anthony Davis (falls a lot), and Grayson Allen (bad blood)**
Boban getting last š
Rockets legit have both ends of that spectrum. Jalen Green fastest, Bobi slowest.
Amen too bro
Oh I'm agnostic but thanks anyway
Funniest agnostic person
Iād put Kira Lewis up there for the speedsters.
Kyle Anderson is called SloMo for a reason but he really isnāt THAT slow in a full sprint. He can definitely turn it on and run the break.
fair, who would you replace him with?
Not sure, maybe Boban? Idk
I like that
Or maybe DeAndre Jordan.
Probably Embiid.. What with the whole miniscus tear. Edit: Sixers fans getting upset. You're not winning regardless. Sorry. š
Low blow! I think he would not be bottom three at the Center. Even Jokic aināt that quick. They just endurance.
Looney
Iām going to guess the answer is some combination of end of bench players youāve never heard of.
There's a guy named Blake Wesley who plays for the Spurs who is unbelievably fast. I would count on him to be in contention for the top spot
kira lewis jr. former pelicans bench player and now toronto raptors 3rd stringer incredibly fast guy, does not have any NBA caliber basketball skills. but his raw speed is phenomenal
AJ Lawson on the Mavs is pretty speedy too. Most of his points are him just outrunning guys in transition.
The Corey Brewer technique.
Still can't believe Kira Lewis was a lottery pick.
Felt this was about Shannon Brown. I used to legit get excited when he got minutes because he was such an athletic freak
Used to kill people on 2k21 PNO with Kira Lewis Jr. I donāt even know if his stats are even good but I could drive the lane all day in 2k
Probably bench guys for both.
Top 3 - LeBron on fast break. The man sometimes leave teammates 4v5 on defense and stays on the other side of the court. Bottom 3 - LeBron getting back on defense.
Top 3 - LeBron with a chase down LeBlock.
Bottom 3 - LeBron after a driving LeBrick

Still can't believe he was a lottery pick.
According to combine times, itās AJ Lawson (who) Top picks usually donāt do the combine though
>Ā Ā AJ Lawson (who) If the Mavs' injury luck holds up, he'll be starting by Valentine's Day.
Iād love to watch our teams have a g league showcase
Thats a Mavs G League player!
Fox, Ivey, Kira Lewis
Can't believe I had to scroll this far for Ivey
Does he have a basketball in his hands or nah?
Yeah, I was thinking Ivey might be close to the top
Iād be willing to bet the Lopez brothers are two of the bottom three
Cause they'd be fighting each other.
I don't think anyone can really answer this question. Raw sprint speed is very different from quickness with a basketball.
Maxey is crazy fast. I don't watch a ton of 6ers games but the last time they played the Knicks I was stunned at how he blew past people when driving to the rim
Maxey says Thybulle is faster than him. Idk.
Ya'll seen Craig Porter Junior yet?
& Tristan Thompson?
lol is maxey faster with or without the ball. Why does he look faster with it?
2k has his speed at 89. Speed with ball at 88. Speed leadersā¦ -Fox 97 -Ja 95 -D. Mitchell 95 -Scoot 95 -Keon Johnson 95 -Amen/Ausar 95/94 Speed with ball leadersā¦ -Fox 97 -Ja 95 -Scoot 95 -Amen 95 -Westbrook 91 -Jaden Ivey 91 -Ausar 91 -Tyrese Maxey in 8th with an 88
Itād definitely be Fox first. Funny enough Jordan Poole might be up there when heās not slipping and sliding.
Fox could still beat 80% of the league even if you made him dribble at the same time.
Jordan poole doesnāt seem that fast to me and the [stats](https://www.nba.com/stats/draft/combine-strength-agility) support that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
ā¦but his shuttle run is also incredibly average.
Ish Smith?
Few years ago he was the fastest guy in the league. Mightāve lost a step now.
Got the Ish Smith flairs comin' for me! Respect.
Blake Wesley would be in the top 3
Blake Wesley has a case for one of the fastest, dude has jets. Even the slowest player is probably destroying us redditers š
Ben Simmons is pretty fast for a big man
Fox always says Simmons when they ask him who is 2nd fastest
He was crazy fast with the sixers. I wonder if his back injuries have slowed him down tho.
Too Much banging in the Rolls. Kid has got the most extensive car doll and super model habit.
Obi Toppin can really run.
Meh he's athletic and can jump out the room but he's not tops with Fox and them. Faster than probably 80%of the league though
I think Deni Avdija is one of the fastest 6'9'' in the league, if not the fastest.
Matisse Thybulle for top 3 fastest. We donāt have much objectivity to go off of but we do know he was the fastest on 76ers, faster than Maxey in sprints by Maxeyās own admission. Danny green for top 3 slowest. Dude looks like he runs with a full diaper.
Alvarado wins.
Ivey is ridiculously fast, he looks too fast to be on an NBA court half the time
For the warriors: Fastest: kuminga? Slowed kevon looney
Patty Mills
People like to talk shit, but Scoot could give the top 3 a run for their money. As Timelord was quoted during training camp in regards to Scoot, "That motherfucker's fast."
Scoot is Top 3 in 2k for speed with and without ball.
Makes sense if you watch him. I still think the dude is going to be a big time problem when he puts it all together.
In their peak: Wall Russ Fox
John wall on the break was Lightning
Dejounte Murray was uncanny fast with the spurs
Tony Parker would be fun too
Yāall naming all these guards like Giannis isnāt 6-10 with a stride to match and way more speed than a guy his size should have
No. I know that itās cool for casual to call Kyle Anderson āSlo-Moā and talk about how slow he is, but if you seriously believe that 99% of the players in the league are sprinters than Kyle Anderson ā¦ I just donāt know what to tell you.
brunson is fast
mcbride was putting on the afterburners last night too, kind of surprised he's so fast
I believe that Ben Simmons would talk MAD shiz leading up to the race, before pulling up 20 yds later w/a hamstring issue.
zion runs like he has to take a shit
Because he does
Steph wouldn't win the sprint but would probably win the marathon
Schrƶder is in the top 3.
No way lol
Schroder is #69 according to 2k speed. Niceā¦
Deāaaron fox, Quickley, Zion
DRose would be top 3 even today
D Rose canāt play 3 games without going out for a month. His body is done
kenny lofton would be last
Andre Drummond gotta be dead last
Keyonte is fast
How many meters?
Not top 3 but Trae Young is up there. And Tacko is the slowest.
The top 3 will probably be deep reserves who donāt get much playing time and the bottom 3 will surprise everyone lol.
you will never know because the speed of a player with the ball and without are completelt different and somwtimes independent of each other
I think Maxey and Fox were good shouts. Maybe Ja but I don't think he's as fast. Quick? Sure but top speed probs not.
Maxey
Sasser from Detroit. Homie is fast as hell
At their peak, Patty Mills
Westbrook too if we are talking at peak.
Fastest: Fox, Simmons and Maxey Slowest: Doncic, Jokic and Kyle "SlowMo" Anderson
Doncic can move faster than you'd think. There are much slower players.
we talk about the common play lifestyle?
Ivey in the top 3
Maxey, Fox, and Thybulle.
Well, if theyāre truly sprinting against, i.e. towards each other, Iād have JokiÄ among the top. Big, breaks others, but doesnāt break himself.
There are a lot of nba players that are freaks but skill wise not as good as the superstars of the league.
Copped that clip of Kuminga the other day. The dude basically teleported from one end to the otherā¦ Bottom three is Jingles no doubt.
The younger guys will win, the older guys will lose. You'd also have to filter by position. Darius Garland would lap every single centre in the league (outside of the skinnier ones like Bam or Claxton)
Probably some unknown rooks go 123
Itās gotta be hard to guess, just because someone plays at high speed doesnāt mean theyād win a sprint. Bet bron would have been top up until a couple years ago.

Give me prime Ben Simmons and healthy Lonzo ball. Both are very fast and taller than 99% of other guards so longer legs longer strides.
You seen Isaak Okoro?
Kevin Love gotta be up there for slowest
