Harris. But they don't give out Finals MVPs for fastest dribbling times across the court.
It is no doubt that Parker is obviously one of the top 3 fastest PGs in NBA
But compared with Harris, i think maybe Harris is faster than TP
Some say that Harris just needs 3.2 seconds for a lay up from the inbound line of backcourt to the frontcourt basket ,is it rrue???
But we can see that Parker is improving his jumper day by day so that even through Harris is a little bit faster than TP, however, TP is more versatile than Harris though

Harris...but he can't shoot
Very good point. Speed helps but you need to be able to shoot and be a leader. TP has him on being a leader.
Man I would say Parker though
Tp's speed is second to none
TP's fast but guys like Rose and Harris are likely faster at full speed.
But Tony is much more deceptive in changing speeds and has more deceptive quickness.
harris had that recort at the allstarweekend...take a look at the nba-video section and you can see it!...but he didnt make a layup
and as a coach, I'm pretty sure his dribbling technique wasnt perfect for such a record (to many bounces)
and in the end: who cares...you still have to use the speed to kill defenses and parer still is better in that regard than harris
Harris is way faster than Parker. Just too bad if you give him 4 years, he still can't learn how to run an offense.
Parker might be slower than Harris in speed, but hes stronger than harris and actually hes a looot smarter. Speed + BB IQ its a better combination than just speed. Besides, u dont play at full speed BB unless u wanna have a thousand TO per game. Quick first step and thats about it with speed. Hesitation works that way and parkers knows a lot better than harris about that -besides the fact he can finish in a bunch of different ways.
I thought it was 3.9sec fro harris. That was a record setter.
During the all-star game, the commentators mentioned Parker initially wanted to give it
a try but pop called and tell him no.
the brazilian bleh is faster than both. parker is quicker though.
Harris for sure. Harris is a blur and can get to the basket at will....but hes iffy converting when he gets there....something we dont have to worry about w\ TP
even Jason Rickardson is faster than Harris come on
I read just today on the french newspaper "l'Equipe" that Devin did set a record at 3,93s and that Kobe and Shaq were pushing TP to try to beat that record and that he turned them down because his muscles were cold and that if he would have injured himself Pop simply would have destroyed him (not exactly his world but trying to report what I read this morning).
I don't get the cracks on Devin Harris, to me he looks like a pretty good shooter, and hes doing quite well as evidenced by him being an all star.
On a side note, Tony is pure speed but as it has already been stated his true strenght is to slow down just before reaching the defender to freeze him, then choosing the weak defended side and then blow past him.
So a question is coming up
How about Allen Iverson at age of 25?
I mean if AI were 25 years old right now, could he break Harris's record?
Yup have to agree with you on this one. Devin is really taking a step forward this year and will be one of the best PGs in the league for the years to come. Tony had the "chance" to have responsibilities really early in his career thus their learning curves as floor leaders are really different.
And people bash Harris for not being a shooter? Yeah for sure Tony was a heck of a shooter 3 years ago
not knockin on Devin. I think he's top a top 5 pg right now.
at this point i kinda disagree
my opinion of top 5 PGs are as follow
CP3
D-William
Jason Kidd
Tony Parker
Steve Nash
Ask Mavs fans who they would rather have right now.
CP3
TP
DWILL
HARRIs
NASH
Give it another year before DROSE replaces nash. Jameer was making a case for himself too before he went down.
About speed I am not sure Harris or Parker are that fast.
They are incredibly quick, but I don't know if they really have a great "full speed".
In pre-draft "3/4 court sprint" measurement, Harris was not among elite (Joe Alexander for instance is much faster).
We're talking with the ball
Off course it is with the ball.
All I say is that their maximum speed is not the more important factor.
Quickness and ball handling skills are much more important.
