    So I was perusing the NBA section on espn.com and I read some of the notes on the rookies in the summer league by David Thorpe. Under his notes on Russell Westbrook, he says Westbrook is already a top 10 athlete in the NBA. So I was wondering, who are the top 10 athletes in the NBA and would Russell Westbrooke really compare favorably with them.

    You have LeBron, Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Kobe, Amare Stoudemire, T-Mac, Andre Iguodala, Dwyane Wade, Gerald Wallace, and Tyrus Thomas. Off the top of my head, those would probably be my top 10, subject to change if I went more thoroughly through the league.

    And then guys like Jason Richardson, Shawn Marion, Desmond Mason, Nate Robinson, maybe Vince Carter still, maybe Baron Davis if he wasn't so fat, perhaps Kirilenko, among others.

    Who do you think are the top 10 athletes in the NBA and would Russell Westbrook fit in your top 10 somewhere with what you know about him?

    Are you saying that runners and jumpers aren't coordinated? What exactly is a runner and jumper? Does Nash not run and jump? Explain.
