I know Allen Iverson and Kevin Johnson are up there but who else. Please provide Youtube clips if you can.

Allen Iverson was lightning quick in his rookie year!

ai and actually parker are very fast. i mean there's a difference between pure speed and quickness. parker wins the agility and quickness vote for me. isiah is up there too.

Tyron Lue, Barbosa, T.J. Ford (when healthy)

Yeah Rondo is a quickster but he never had a young player on the Celtics this past year that can go on the fastbreak with him.

  Or, if I'm remembering right, David Thompson.

Calvin Murphy was mentioned, and Spud Webb had to be one of the fastest people I've ever seen. Tiny Archibald in his prime was the most talented speedster ever, and that includes Iverson.

Drawing from personal experience, the fastest/quickest player I've ever seen up close and in person is Allen Iverson, without question. Real life vs. t.v. really changes your perspective. AI is obviously not as quick now, but 4, 5, 6, 7 years ago, that man was unbelievably quick. By comparison, I don't think (of the players I've seen in person) Telfair, Barbosa, Parker, Lue, or even Rondo is as quick. However, the only time I saw Rondo in person was in game 2 of the NBA Finals (flew out to Boston from the west coast - AMAZING experience for me) when his ankle wasn't right (right?), so maybe Rondo would be up there.

"Rocket" Rod Foster was a blur.
