I think people really underestimate Zion’s true athleticism. They just think of the dunks but it’s so much more. If zion went back to his duke weight or even high school, it would be over for the league
Yeah that will never happen he takes testosterone and still gains weight that’s how bad his genetics are. The only way he can lose weight is by getting liposuction, or healthy keto like what lebron sometimes does. NBA players are forced to eat carbs because of that we’ll never see him dominate the league like he could in high school his prime is up. Most people who gain weight let themselves ego. Carbs are essential in the nba for energy. If a player did keto in the off-season or current season their stamina, IQ, strength, endurance, would be hundred severely compare to all the other players on testosterone
He won’t last if he stays that way. We’ve seen it already. NBA seasons are long and tough compared to college or HS. Remember you’re basically playing against the top 400 players in the world.

Jah morant is easily 6’3 and has a wingspan of 6’7, I do think he one of the most athletic nba players ever but I don’t think him and AI are as close in build as stated, as AI was said to actually be closer 5’10 to 5’11. The biggest similarity with them is how light they are, allowing them to float down the floor.
@@Victor-oy8bj the NBAs height listings have been much more accurate since they remeasured everyone a couple years back. Camera angles and full surroundings take a big part in pictures, the difference in two inches can easily be hidden depending on the picture.
I've met both Allen Iverson and Ja Morant in person, and Ja is significantly taller than AI was. I am 6'1", and AI was a bit shorter than me, I'd say around 5'10", and Ja was taller than me, probably at 6'3". Other than that though great video
I was surprised he wasn't on the list or at least an honorable mention. Then I was surprised again when I had to scroll down so far to find his name mentioned.
Robert Williams III is one of the most athletic players in the NBA. His leaping ability is off the charts, he covers so much ground and is so quick off his feet on defense that skilled offensive players have trouble getting their shots off on him from the perimeter! He’s going to be included on these lists as he becomes more well known. Great list! We have some young high flyers in the league right now!
For everyone wondering why the rankings are weird, athleticism isn’t just jumping, if it was zach lavine and zion williamson would easily be #1 and #2 but athleticism is quickness, speed, vertical, movement, fluidity and elasticity, with all that in mind it should be no surprise why ja morant is #1
Anthony edwards is built like a first baseman (normally bigger dudes with an emphasis on power and strength 6-3 230 guys) but so quick and a 43 inch vert
Westbrook isn't insanely quick compared to MJ, Rose or Iverson he's just really fast in a straight line speed and has a lower vertical than all of them
Jalen Green doesnt have the length of Jordan his wingspan is only 6'7 jordans was a massive 6'11. I think if ant could get his weight down a bit he's the closest to jordan as far as size speed and strength
How about Giannis? He jumped over a 6'6 man and ran back to defence like it an everyday thing. Also he can cover the entire court in one or two dribble.
@@jr-pn1dt giannis, Russ and lebron could never leap like ja, but they were stronger. if you watched the video you know that pjf also put zion above ja, if he would be playing. and green is just taller but he's not more athletic in any way
@@ricaaat i did watch the video idk why you seem upset, athleticism isnt just about how high somebody can jump, ja will never be as explosive as russell westbrook and the vert difference is likely due to the difference in weight, its all personal opinion at the end of the day bro
June 30th 2024. Tryna think of a top 10 list for current guys in the league. PJF’s breakdowns are too elite. He’s a mad scientist for athletes. It’s funny cuz the media says ANT is like MJ, but PJF said Jalen is closer to MJ , athletic wise. I’d say I agree
Hey coach, in your older videos you taught about how static stretches limit athletic performance so I was wondering, do massages have the same effect since it loosens up muscles?
I’m sorry Ja Morant is not number 1. Think about prime D Rose, Zach, Ant, Zion. Their heads are at or above the rim when they dunk and in posters at that. Ja can’t make a poster and I never saw his head get to the rim. If we are talking athleticism Wiggins is a better athlete than Ja and that’s without even trying….. dude barely bends his knees and his looking into the rim.
@@TallestFiddle and this year he isn’t the most athletic….. Any is and I don’t think it’s close other than Zach Lavine their athleticism isn’t all that comparable
6,11 245lbs has a 40 inch vert one of the strongest players in the league. Undoubtedly the most agile legit big in the league atm. As fast as most guards. Insane balance especially at full speeds shown of with his euro dunk signature. A euro step dunk is probably the single most athletic move you can do in the NBA and it’s this dudes signature move

Honorable mention Gary Payton II. I've seen him pull off some dunks off vert and after getting bumped
and hes only 6’1

Agree. Ja Morant is a good 3-4 inches taller than AI. Regardless of the listings. You can already see it in the videos
ja morant actually 6'1 a picture next to trae young and hes the same height. true tho ai is like 5'11

@@braydenscribner4444 no but the picture had the same angles for both I think ja is 6’1 just because nba height always adds about an inch or 2
He’s def not 6’3 .... just like Kyrie hes 6’1 & half

I think Jonathan Kumminga is very athletic, he’s got to be in the top 10
russell westbrook has slowed down with age but i think if it werent for age hed be top 3 with zion and lebron in terms of athleticism for me

Zion also has great foot work.
1:32 hit 'em with a one-arm 'Nique power slam
*GOD DAMN*
What about Dennis Smith jr ?
.. truly.. he is unreal
i thought he would be in this list too they guy's vert is insane
I love the poetic description of Zion
Really good list. Have to keep more eye on these players. Zach Lavine for me has been the most athletic in recent years
Talking about absolute quickness, I don't think anybody can beat Westbrook. He just has too many tunrovers that people don't want to look at him.
Westbrook isn't insanely quick compared to MJ, Rose or Iverson he's just really fast in a straight line speed and has a lower vertical than all of them
What's your take on Andrew Wiggins athleticism?
Jalen Green doesnt have the length of Jordan his wingspan is only 6'7 jordans was a massive 6'11. I think if ant could get his weight down a bit he's the closest to jordan as far as size speed and strength
Only the real people watched the podcast that this clip came from
How about Giannis? He jumped over a 6'6 man and ran back to defence like it an everyday thing. Also he can cover the entire court in one or two dribble.
He has very good length and wingspan. Otherwise he is not that impressive with his athletism
@@feifeishuishui
Why doesnt Tacko Fall do that too considering he is way taller than Giannis and also in wingspan?
@@feifeishuishui he’s got a 40 inch vert and runs as fast as most point guards on the break? All at 6,11 250 what are you talking about?
Giannis doesnt have the other factors these guys have. This is a good list
@@Checkered_Everything you are delusional these guys are nothing in front of Giannis maybe except for Zion lmfao
It’s Zion for sure once he comes back he take that number 1 spot dude is huge doing all this. Plus he not stiff when he attacks the rack.
This breakdown was spot on
I think luka is the most athletic player in the NBA Jokic is second
Just my opinion of course
😂😂😂
PLEASE DO THIS FOR 2010, off the dome im thinkin BRON, RUSS, DROSE, DWIGHT
Hello🙋🏽 Greetings from Panama🇵🇦❤💪🏽
Great video👌keep it up 🔥🔥
As a Vols fan, I know he doesn't play much in the NBA, but Yves Pons is insane.
I thought ja morant was listed at 6’3 and a 80 inch wingspan. I dont know why paul think’s he is 6’1
Cause he is 6.1 without shoes
Good list but I feel Zach could’ve been higher just because he can get so much distance off his jumps and is very smooth
I would’ve put:
1.) Zion
2.) Lavine
3.) Giannis
4.) Ja
What about spida
Imagine if Zion was a d end in the nfl that would be a sight to see!
ja morant is an insane athlete and one of the best in the nba without a doubt but i believe he gets too much hype, id rank him at 4 or 5 at most
who is more athletic tho, let's be honest. all the other spectacular jumpers are like 6'6-6'8
@@ricaaat i have edwards over him, green, zion, giannis, younger russ, drose, and lebron for sure, but at the end of the day its personal opinion

Zion is phenomenal but I haven't seen anything like LeBron I think he was a highschool phenom and as a rookie he was insanely above everyone else
De'Aaron Fox should be top 5 IMO, faster/quicker than anyone on this list, more two foot hops than Lavine, more one foot hops than Green
love you bro
Total force production, do you remember Anthony Mason?
Where's Luka?
what about westbrook, pretty freaky to me
Why isn’t ben simmons on this list the speed and quickness at his size is pretty outlandish
Same reason giannis and bron aren't
sheeeesh ja is that small? he looks taller on the court than AI but it could just be the clips i've seen
Hey, when I click your link to any of your websites. It's not working for me
Hey coach, in your older videos you taught about how static stretches limit athletic performance so I was wondering, do massages have the same effect since it loosens up muscles?
Anfernee Simons is up there
Bruh you look and sound like matthew mcconaughey 🤣
Ja not 6‘1 u trippin I ve seen him he like 6‘3 6‘4
ja and trae young same height. theres a pic
Ja is amazing, my role model
Where is derrick jones jr? Or DSJ?
No Giannis? im out
I kinda disagree on putting Zion. I mean the athletic ability has to factor in his durability also, doesn't it? Great video overall!
Miles Bridges honorable mention. This top 5 has some dogs though so understand why he didn’t make the cut.
27 days nigga 27 to life lmaoo
One thing I hate about Zach Lavine is he doens't poster people much, all that athleticism for nothing, Wiggins alone has more posters thatn him
Zion 1 Zach and ja 2a and 2b
Who was 15-6?
Ja morant is not 6'1, he is 6'3 tall like kyrie and Stephen Curry 🔥🏀😎💪🏻
To my eye Ja *looks* more athletic
Wiggins?
Yup Ja is definitely the most athletic right now.
de’aaron fox?
Giannis?????
Zion should be #1. Power and speed
kpj
Luka?
Lol JA is a legitimate 6'3" no way he's 6'1"
Zion shouldn't be in this top 5 because he's not playing right now. Russell Westbrook is doing more than him athletically now.
Not Giannis? I’m confused
Then you dont hoop. These guys have more athletic factors which contribute to overall athleticism
Fox is the fastest player in the league, thats gotta count for something to make the top 5
Nope
russel westbrook is the most athletic ever! period!
Nah MVP D rose was better
@@TangySapling164 rose cant even beat iverson
@@royceroof mf who even mentioned Iverson. We’re talking about Westbrick vs Rose lmao

not even close?

I agree that all these people are really athletic. But what about giannis. Man's 6'11 with 44 inch vertical which is the same as Ja.
