Does LeBron have the quickest first step in the league?

[dubeta]

OMG look at this vid @ 6:38

dat quickness :bowdown: :bowdown:

dude should be doing this every possession, easy 2 points

[JohnFreeman]

Wall

[Warfan]

:oldlol: Not even close, especially compared to his Cleveland days

[1~Gibson~1]

Westbrook

[VengefulAngel]

No where near anymore.

[dubeta]

Obviously I was exaggerating with the title but with the way some ISH'ers talk about his first step or lackthereof you would think he couldnt get past Perkins or some shit

[Inactive]

His first step is pretty weak considering how fast he is in the open court. It's still very good for a forward, but many guards are quicker.

Depends on which quarter.

Then why bother posting it? You and LeBron need some alone time based on all your posts about him.

[KD35Brah]

Westbrook.

[Nowitness]

Not whilst Kobe is playing.

[Carbine]

Westbrook is on a different level from LeBron. Maybe two levels.

[tmacattack33]

Not anymore. Maybe in his Cleveland days.

But its still definitely top notch for anyone 6'8 and above.

[AnaheimLakers24]

sucks dick

[Real14]

He have tha quickest step to choke and switch to SUPER stacked teamz when tha going gets tough.

yup but very true:lol

[FatComputerNerd]

Not in order...

Wall
WB
Kyrie
Monta
'Melo

Lebron is right up there with them still though, even if he's not as quick with that first step as he was 5 years ago.

[Vragrant]

Not even close to the quickest. Why do you think he needs to do 20 jab steps(eating up the shot clock), before inevitably rising up for a jumper? Lebron is fast, but I would not say he's quick. There's a difference between the two.

[Cali Syndicate]

Height to weight ratio, quite easily. Overall, probably not.

[allball]

man u dudes are hanging on those nuts tight. let it go man.

[allball]

Westbrook
Dragic

Wall is faster end to end but I like these two guys first step better.

[Fork]

Nope

[PsychoBe]

patty mills had the quickest first step against him

[Pointguard]

Has to lose 10 pounds to approach being elite level with that. This year's draft is intriguing because having a first step is a great ability to have in this league: Zach Levine, Wiggins and Exum all will excel because of it. Right now its Westbrook, without question, but one of the three I named will surpass him in a couple of years.

:lol

[SamuraiSWISH]

He was actually pretty quick pre 2011. Saw brief return of his first step in 2013. But his weight limits him in that regard, plus age. If he dropped some weight he'd be good again. Was never a great first step though. He needs to dribble, and get momentum to be dynamic off the bounce. That's why he's harder to stop in transition.

[TheReal Kendall]

No but he has a hell of an off arm.

[Dro]

:oldlol: Not even close, especially compared to his Cleveland days
This...I'm not sure if the OP is even serious.......Lebron does NOT do the quick first step consistently that he does in this video......

[allball]

I forgot about Bledsoe

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Westbrook
This.

[BuffaloBill]

Lmao

[RedBlackAttack]

This is the difference between quickness and raw speed. In his younger days, LeBron was more of a combination. These days, he's much more of a power and speed guy than a quickness guy. You can spot the difference pretty easily.

[russwest0]

Lol if he had the quickest first step he wouldn't stop the ball so much

[diamenz]

Depends on which quarter.

LoLoL!

[pauk]

Maybe, its the strides that does it, covers alot of ground.

I can name 3 Spurs alone with a quicker first step. Dwyane Wade even at this broken down stage of his career still has a quicker first step. Don't go full retarded OP.

LeBron has many great attributes.. quickness and first step has never been something he really excels at tbqh.
way to go full retard:applause:

I'll give him quickest travel

[GimmeThat]

like first step in jab step and blowing pass by your opponent that you aren't using your body to draw contract for the and 1, but you are simply going for the lay up?


never seen anyone did a better first step than a prime TMac.
