In today's game, Barkley would be a goat player due to even better handles than he already had.. Ditto his jumper, which had really nice form and posture

Barkley with a guard handle (which he already had to an extent) would be insane because his handle and touch/shot-making would be UNMATCHED.. He would maneuver near the rim and then his contested shot-making TOUCH would make him unique among today's players (who only know threes/layups and are inferior at contested shot-making/lack touch)

No way. It's a great play though. Brings back VHS memories.

Come to think of it, maybe. If it has to be from rebound to finish. I would think Giannis or maybe young LeBron would have a faster play though?

Fastest for his position maybe but not even close to being the fastest lol but awesome play nonetheless.

It would be great to find clips of Lebron or Giannis rebounding and then going coast to coast to finish with a dunk. Giannis is probably the center with the best handle (Shaq is close too). Lebron physically is like Point-Forward Karl Malone.

Good insight. Charles was very talented.

Most of the rebounds where not close to the basket but the dude is very athletic. Great handle and some nice acrobatic layups in those coast to coasts though. Seems like a good defender too.

The problem is that if it was truly fast, then Barkley wouldn't need to go past people - he would be past everyone right away

Like the clip below - notice Horace Grant in the upper left sprinting out on the wing and MJ blowing by him

The videos of Jordan's breakaways show that he's the fastest ever wing:

Jordan also has a confirmed 4.3 forty

Maybe not the fastest but definitely one of my favourite finishes . Always loved the way he slams it and hangs of the rim

MJ is the most athletic guard i've ever seen. His speed, potence, quickness, agility and vertical leap was insane. He also had the quickest feet ever.

For his size I'd also throw in David Robinson. I remember a while ago I timed some of his coast to coast runs and it was a bit slower than the fastest guards.

In the end the fastest are always going to be guards because you're running less than 30 yards for a coast to coast play. Acceleration matters a lot more than long strides.

One of the fastest players I've ever seen.
