    Basically every player on that list was ‘ELITE’ in the primes of their careers. Maybe the only exception is Francis (don’t see the relevance of him on this list), he was very good, but not quite elite. Every other player has had MVP type ‘elite’ seasons…

    I believe they mean elite as in athleticism not success, and Steve Francis deffintely had some hops and could throw it down for a little guy.

    The list is about players athleticism in their primes. not about the quality of seasons they had.
    steve francis was the most explosive point guard in the league for a few years making it relevant

    allen iverson-superior (4 scoring championships) Start-Stop-Start-Stop-Start_SPEED
    vc- SUPERIOR (nuff said)
    tmac- superior (long+fast+quick+agile+smooth+bouncy+vertical leap+hangtime= T-Mac’s superior athleticism)
    shaq- SUPER SUPERIOR (one word “STEEL”) LOL Ps. KAZAAAM!
    kg- superior (see t-mac description)
    kobe- elite (he wasn’t a freak or a anomaly like the superior athletes…his work ethic and drive epitomize KOBE)
    bron- SUPER SUPERIOR (WITNESS…we did! THE ONLY MAN in da league who makes HIGHLIGHTS out of ROUTINE PLAYS. WITNESS….THE DECISION! WHY? because of his athleticism)
    wade- superior (when have we ever seen a 6’4 player with his athleticism. Here’s a challenge name me one player in NBA HISTORY comparable to wade and i’ll consider him elite…)
    melo- very good (NATURAL SCORER not NATURAL ATHLETE)
    rose- SUPERIOR (see iverson, vc, lebron, and wade and you’ll understand where im coming from
    howard- SUPER SUPERIOR (SUPERMAN “THROW” DUNK) Ps. if ANYBODY else were to throw a basketball in the basket in da dunk contest they would be laughed at or scrutinized…NOT DWIGHT HOWARD!
    francis- elite (if his athleticism was superior he’d still be in da league)
    penny- SUPERIOR (INJURIES are the ONLY thing that could HAVE EVER stopped penny. he was kobe and lebron before them. He had the first puppet/action figure/mini in da league. MIKE called him the air apparent. and he played POINT!)
    kidd- very good (SUPERIOR instincts not athleticism)

    Or Jordan… though Smith and MJ are obviously Superior.

    Definitely agree about Wade being remarkably athletic. He is superior for sure.
