Is Russell Westbrook the most athletic point guard ever?

[picc84]

Just per combination of speed, strength, and leaping ability.

If not, where does he rank?

[PGDynasty24]

Maybe number 1 right now,ever idk

Derrick Rose is more athletic. A case can be made for Baron Davis and Steve Francis as well.

Derick Rose says hi

If he hadn't a crawled in a hole when 32 year old Kobe came for him a few months back I'd be a little more impressed.

Francis could jump as high, but I don't think he was as fast or powerful. Baron was stronger but wasn't as fast and couldn't jump as high. Rose is a good match. Between those two, they might be the two most athletic points of all time.

Agree with this but it depends on what athletic qualities you value ...

I throw Penny and KJ in this discussion.
When KJ's hamstrings werent exploding his speed/hops were amazing for a PG and i hated the little prick. Penny though skinny had some hops, quickness and great length/reach which is an athletic quality as well.
honorable mention: Nate robinson and robert Pack. Nate was a great football player too.But neither were starting caliber PG's ...
sorry, I saw you focused just on 3 qualities but still agree and still think KJ and Penny are up there EXCEPT strength wise ...not sure Wall is that strong either ...

Of all time Kevin Johnson is worth mentioning

Westbrook has such a explosive first step it's redic

[DPG21920]

I made a comment a while back on this. He is a freak. Literally explodes to the rim. I wonder if we will see a noticeable spike in fg% from him as he only shot 41% last year.

[picc84]

I think Westbrook has KJ beat across the board athletically, even if not by much. John Wall....c'mon.

Only guy I can think of with similar ability in each category is Derrick Rose, and even he can't quite match Westbrooks explosiveness speed and jumping-wise, IMO. Probably a little stronger, but that might be it. Russell's the most freak athlete i've ever seen at the pg position.
