Top Five Sickest YouTube NBA Players Ever

If other sports fans are anything like me, they waste about 10 hours a week watching YouTube clips of athletes.

And then send the most badass clips to their roommates and friends.

Who attempt to one-up them by showing them someone they like.

Doesn't everyone do this?

Here are the top-five NBA player compilations that I've come across in these exchanges. I give extra-credit if it surprised me.

5. Shawn Kemp - The "Reign Man" led the Sonics to the NBA Finals at age 27 in 1996 with a young Gary Payton as his sidekick. He was truly feared in the mid-90's, but weight gain caused a rapid decline in his game. It's crazy to see just how explosive and athletic he was while skinny. He was part-'Nique, part-LeBron, part-Dwight Howard. Still, he paled in comparison to...

4. Michael Jordan - What am I thinking? His are probably the most amazing if you look at it objectively, but I've seen the plays a million times so they seem believable now. Chicago hasn't had a star since Jordan retired, until now that is, with the arrival of…

3. Derrick Rose - If Bulls fans are worried after Summer League that Rose will be a bust while Beasley crushes, watch this to reassure yourself that they made the right decision. 360 lay-ups in traffic, a dunk from eight feet out over a guy, and ridiculous handles… He reminds me a lot of…

2. Anfernee Hardaway - I thought he was overrated back-in-the-day, now I hate myself for it. The knee injury destroyed an amazing talent. I had no idea he had that kind of athleticism. And his no look-passes are as impressive as Magic and…

1. Larry Bird - A maF'n genius. Scrappy as hell and smarter than he looked (huge understatement), he literally had "eyes in the back of his head." Had to. No other way to explain how he made the passes featured. He just knew exactly what to do in every situation. Too solid! Way too solid!

I think we both know that this list is not complete without the inimitable Antawn Jamison.
