I think Ant has the best traditional and untraditional athleticism. He can jump out of the gym, but he can also stop on a dime like James Harden, and is very strong for his size.

Lavine or ANT. I canât make a call, Iâd say Lavine just because ANT already has two
CheersBeersVeneers
Itâs KG, though I respect any Ant answers too

Ant and then Lavine. Lavine had the best hops, but Ant has the best all around athleticism. Â
Ant. LaVine is not getting up there to block shots like Ant.

KG!!! Could play and guard all 5 positions.

I used to do between the legs dunks with Ricky Davis on Live 06 or something like that for ps2 back in the day. Iâd say thatâs all the evidence we need here.Â

Kevin Garnett is a freak athlete. He didnât get credit because he was tall, but he was incredibly athletic.

He’s so athletic he was able to move that massive frame up and down the court

Itâs gotta be Ant. His athleticism is so well rounded and multifaceted. Strength, lateral quickness, stamina, vertical leap, burst. Way better than some other players who boil down to âman can jump highâ.

While Ant and LaVine are fantastic athletes. So was KG. But KG was 7 foot. Which should be a factor. To be as agile as he was at his size. And wiry strength. And endurance. It’s a rare combo.

There has certainly been lots of impressive athletes on our roster. Lavine can jump higher than Iâve ever seen. Wigginsâ athleticism is what made his âwasted potentialâ so disappointing.
I think when considering athleticism in basketball we should ask ourselves, âWho can/could do it all and do it all well?â
For me it comes down to Ant and KG. The latter has proven his superior skills over and over while the former is still working his way up.
So for now my vote is KG, but it wouldnât surprise me if Ant surpassed him in the future.
yup_goodtimes
Ant, JR and KG. Lavine and Wiggins are also crazy athletic.

Itâs antman
What about Gerald Green? Guy may be more athletic than Ant and LaVine just from a pure athleticism standpoint. https://youtu.be/nOzo4pHTZ-M?si=Eh-iIiXcpzR-X4IF
I’ll go with KG
Ant. Stanley Roberts or Stojko for runners up.

KG really only gonna be on this once or twice!
Itâs Kevin Garnett. He could guard 1-5
Ant but TJ is not far behind.
