Jamal Crawford & Channing Frye list out their most athletic point guards of all time

Jamal Crawford and Channing Frye were recently on an NBA TV episode and talked about some of the most explosive point guards in NBA history. Among those mentioned were Ja Morant, Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, and others.

Jamal Crawford and Channing Frye compiled a great list. Frye had the following to say about the most athletic point guard in NBA history.

"I got him two (Ja Morant). Already. I have Russell Westbrook (number one). He's the most vicious, fast, explode, two foot, one foot, strength, power. Now, no disrepect to everyone else, but what I've seen this man do consistently over the years has been unbelieveable."

Channing Frye added that prime John Wall was also someone that could jump out of the gym:

"One person you forgot, John Wall. That boy would get a rebound by the time I took one step, he's at halfcourt."

Crawford was asked who he thought was the most athletic point guard, and similar to Frye, he also picked players that jumped out of the gym.

"Yeah, I got him two as well (Russell Westbrook). But Derrick Rose. See when both of you guys say 'ooo"? We can't forget... The power, the strips, the explosiveness, oh my goodness. I got him two but Ja has time, plenty of time, he's just getting started. For me, Derrick Rose, Ja, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, and Nate Robinson. Those are my five."

Jamal Crawford's top five

Jamal Crawford came up with an interesting list with Derrick Rose, Ja Morant, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, and Nate Robinson. These five players all got up like no other in NBA history during their time.

Derrick Rose was a former MVP who demonstrated to the world that he was one of the most athletic players in NBA history during his time in Chicago prior to his injury. Rose was not just an athletic point guard, but he may have been the most athletic for his size ever.

In terms of what he accomplishes on a nightly basis at his position, Ja Morant is the most similar to him. Ja may be a tad better at this point in his career, but it's difficult to argue and varies depending on who's asking.

Baron Davis, Steve Francis, and Nate Robinson finished off the list for Jamal Crawford, and those guys were also athletic in their own right. They might not be at the same level as Ja, Rose, and Westbrook, but they're certainly up there.
