There could be no other winner for best Rim Defender than Alonzo Mourning. Who is our most athletic player of all time?
I will be posting the top 5 “Best Rim Defenders” in the comments. The winner of “Most Athletic” will be the player with the most upvotes across all comments.
My vote for Most Athletic is also arguably the greatest athlete of all time. Lebron James Sr.

There’s plenty, but it’s gotta be Lebron.

My vote is for D-Wade! Mainly due to longevity in a Heat jersey and just prime Wade, he was just different. I feel like prime Wade could’ve gone toe to toe with anyone in terms of athleticism

I also already know who best handles is. Rafer Alston.

Man it’s crazy to me that Bam isn’t gonna win a single category in this whole thing. Categories working against our boy, doesn’t feel right.
Anyways most athletic is obvs Bron, c’mon man.

The first to average over 20 PPG at the Age of 40 is the winner in my book as even now he proves what a unique talent he is. LeBron is the most complete player to me in NBA history. PERIOD. He does everything well and is STILL holding his own at 40 years old when players typically are end of the bench guys like the OG was a few years ago.
It’s crazy to think back to being at that draft party… “How can one be so good, truly this LeBron guy isnt THAT good?” “Goddamnit, we shoulda picked Kaman! Who is this Wade guy…..” (Words said by me, I had hoped Kaman would be Zo’s heir apparent.)
To be fair, I did laugh at the Darko Milicic pick. “How do you pass on adding Melo to Billups and Big Ben?!”

LeBron.

It’s filthy that Wade is only going to be featured on one of these spots as “best”. He easily deserved best passer.
Dude averaged 8 assists per game in a season while averaging 30, J-Wil never averaged above 6APG for us, shame on yall. Riot until it’s changed

LBJ.
I would have gone with Bam or Battier for perimeter defender but this one was always going to be LBJ.

It’s LeBron, and y’all know it. How else does the dude still do it at 40???

Derrick Jones Jr. and it isn’t even close. People here are acting like they said best player. Did you guys not see his dunk contests?
