Leandro Barbosa

I love reading blog posts by J.E. Skeets on Yahoo! Sports’ Ball Don’t Lie. This time, his article titled “Who is the NBA’s version of Usain Bolt?” interest me.

He is basically asking readers to vote for the fastest player in the NBA – Although still far, far away compared to the Usain guy who breaks world record like LeBron dunking against Jameer Nelson night in and night out (get it?)

The results are in (it’s still ongoing, though): From 38,280 total votes, here is the list of the fastest players in the NBA:

  1. Leandro Barbosa: 22%
  2. LeBron James: 18%
  3. Tony Parker: 17%
  4. Derrick Rose: 12%
  5. Devin Harris: 11%
  6. Aaron Brooks: 10%
  7. Rajon Rondo: 6%
  8. Nate Robinson: 4%

My own vote: Tony Parker. How ’bout you?
