Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about who’s the fastest NBA fella ever. Not just quick, but lightning fast, you know? Like a chicken chasin’ a bug.
Now, I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’. I just watch these games and see who’s zoomin’ around like their pants are on fire. Lots of folks talk about this and that, but I’m gonna tell ya what I see.

First off, they got these fellas who shoot the ball real fast. I heard tell that Kyle Korver guy, he could get that ball outta his hands faster than a blink. Like, point seven-somethin’ seconds. That Klay Thompson fella and Buddy Hield too, they ain’t slow neither. But shootin’ fast ain’t the same as runnin’ fast, ya hear?
- Fast Shooter ain’t the same as Fast Runner
- Runnin’ fast mean gettin’ from one end to the other quick as a hiccup.
So, who’s the real speed demons? Well, I seen some quick fellas in my day. That Russell Westbrook, he’s like a blur. Always zoomin’ and jumpin’ around. People say he’s gotta be up there, one of the fastest ever. And I agree. He’s like a jackrabbit out there.
Then there’s this De’Aaron Fox kid. Folks are sayin’ he’s super fast too. Lightning-fast speed, they call it. I watched him a bit, and yeah, he’s quick alright. Reminds me of a young colt, all legs and energy.
Now, how do you figure out who’s the absolute fastest? That’s the tricky part. They got all these numbers and charts and stuff, talkin’ ’bout speed and distance. Too much for my old brain to handle. But I reckon if a fella can get up and down that court faster than everyone else, and do it consistently, then he’s the fastest.
I remember watchin’ some old games, too. Back in the day, they had some speedsters. Not gonna name names ’cause I might forget some, and that wouldn’t be right. But them old-timers, they could run! They didn’t have all the fancy trainin’ and stuff they got now, but they were somethin’ else.
So, if I had to pick the fastest ever, it’s tough. You got your new guys, all young and spry, and then you got your older fellas who were just as quick. But seein’ as I gotta choose, I’m gonna say it’s a tie. Yeah, that’s right, a tie. You got your Russell Westbrook, always movin’ at a hundred miles an hour. And then you got your De’Aaron Fox, flyin’ around like nobody’s business. And you gotta give a nod to those old-timers, ’cause they paved the way for these young fellas.

It’s like this, see? One fella might be the quickest end-to-end. Another fella might be the quickest in short bursts. Another might just be the fastest with the ball. It’s all in how ya look at it. So, it ain’t easy to just pick one. But them fellas I mentioned, they the real speed kings of the NBA. Fastest players of all time? You pick one of them, you ain’t gonna be wrong.
And that’s all I gotta say about that. Fast is fast, and them boys are fast. Don’t need no fancy numbers to see that, just gotta watch ’em play. They make my head spin sometimes, they’re so quick. Like a hummingbird on a sugar rush.
So, next time you watch a game, keep an eye on them speedsters. They’re somethin’ special, that’s for sure. They make the game excitin’, keepin’ you on the edge of your seat. And that’s what basketball is all about, ain’t it? Fun and fast and full of surprises.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talkin’ about fast fellas has made me hungry. Maybe I’ll make some chicken. They’re pretty fast too, when they’re tryin’ to get away from ya.
