This here talkin’ ’bout the fatest NBA player, you know, them boys playin’ basketball. My eyes ain’t what they used to be, but I seen ’em on that TV, runnin’ back and forth, faster than a greased pig at the county fair!
Now, this one fella, they call him De’Aaron Fox. Lord have mercy, that boy can move! He’s like a rabbit runnin’ from a hound dog. He plays for the Sacramento Kings, I believe. They say he’s the fatest one out there. Faster than all them other boys. He got that quick first step, like he’s steppin’ on hot coals.
- De’Aaron Fox
- Fast as a rabbit
- Sacramento Kings
- Quick first step
Another one, Russell Westbrook. That’s a name I hear a lot. They say he’s the fatest alive. Now, I don’t know ’bout all that, but he sure can run. They talk about miles per hour, 21.6 or somethin’. I don’t know much about miles per hour, but it sounds mighty fast. Faster than my old mule, Bessie, that’s for sure!
Back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy numbers and such. We just knew who was fast and who wasn’t. This Westbrook fella, he can shoot the ball, bounce it, and play that defense. Sounds like a good player to me. Helps his team a lot, they say.
- Russell Westbrook
- Fastest alive, they say!
- 21.6 miles per hour
- Shoots, bounces, plays defense
And what about that LeBron James? Everybody’s always talkin’ ’bout him. They call him “King James”. I reckon he must be pretty good. If he weren’t fast, folks wouldn’t be talkin’ ’bout him so much. Gotta be quick on your feet to be the king, I suppose. Even I know that!
Now, these young’uns today, they got all sorts of ways of measurin’ things. They got these 2K things, whatever those are. Seems like a lot of fuss if you ask me. But they say it helps them figure out who’s the fatest.
Some other fella, Derrick Rose, used to be real fast. They talk about seconds. 4.18 or something. I don’t know ’bout seconds, but if you tell me it’s faster than the time it takes to shuck a ear of corn then I get it.
And then there was Tony Parker, running that forty. 4.28 seconds. That is real quick. But not as quick as Derrick.
- LeBron James
- King James
- Must be fast!
- Derrick Rose 4.18 seconds
- Tony Parker 4.28 seconds
John Wall, they say he used to run with them Olympic folks. You know, the ones runnin’ in the Olympics. 4.35 seconds, they say he could run. That’s like lightnin’! Faster than a chicken with its head cut off!
These boys, they train and train. Just like we used to work in the fields all day. Hard work makes you strong, and it makes you fast, too, I reckon.
And they talk about shootin’ the ball, too. How fast they can throw it. Kyle Korver, Klay Thompson, and Buddy Hield. Less than a second to throw that ball. That’s faster than I can swat a fly!
- John Wall, 4.35 seconds
- Fast like lightning
- Kyle Korver, less than a second to shoot
- Klay Thompson, Buddy Hield, same as Kyle
But that De’Aaron Fox, he’s still the one they all talk about. He’s the fatest NBA player, they say, this year and last year and the year before that. Must be somethin’ special ’bout that boy. He’s got that speed, and that’s somethin’ you can’t teach, I reckon. You either got it or you don’t.
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say ’bout these fatest NBA player fellas. They sure are somethin’ to watch, runnin’ up and down that court. Reminds me of when I was a young’un, chasin’ chickens around the yard. Except these boys are a whole lot faster, and they get paid a whole lot more!
It’s a different world these days. But some things never change. Speed is speed, whether you’re a basketball player or a chicken runnin’ from the farmer’s wife! And from what I hear, De’Aaron Fox, he’s got plenty of it! They sure talk about him enough, so he is the fatest NBA player for now, I believe!
