    Maybe the most athletic pg in the history of the NBA. Some great ones come to mind, Baron Davis, Steve France, Robert Pack, Kevin Johnson, but Rose might just be on another level.

    Athlete’s athleticism is only going to continue to rise over time and D-Rose is a perfect example of that.  Awesome dunk.

    I think Rose is one of the best two footed Dunkers I’ve seen, but I think some PGs are in his range of athleticism.

     Steroid, like who?? The only person I can think of is Russell who’s closest to him. I mean Wall is almost there but he is more fast than explosive like Rose is. So, enlighten me.

    We can speculate on who’s more athletic that’s why I said there are guys who are in his range of athleticism. It’s not a run away race like how it is with LeBron compared to others in his position. I don’t think anyone could outright say who’s more athletic for sure. That is almost impossible for me to prove or anyone else on here. I also don’t think you could outright say that he’s more athletic than a guy than Russel Westbrook or even some guys who were athletic PGs back in the day. If it were fact then it wouldn’t be arguable…

     Rose has crazy hops, good strength, decent size and a jump shot. It is all nuts. But as far as sheer athleticism, Nate Robinson and Spud Webb probably have him beat. They just are too short and all around not good enough to be dominant as players. Yeah, they couldn’t dunk as well as Rose, but they are also giving up 5 inches, right? I bet they both have better verticals (well not Spud anymore, but in his prime, probably). Robert Pack and KJ were also crazy athletic. I remember some Pack and KJ dunks in traffic that were nuts. Pack was shorter, right? I don’t remember, but I thought he was under 6′. And KJ was maybe 6′, so a touch shorter than Rose, but also much skinnier.

     Oh and one thing, the most athletic PG ever was AI if you want to talk about speed and not just jumping ability. But he didn’t have the best dunks and he also was shorter than Rose. But he was much faster than Rose and had that crazy body control and change of speeds.
