Top 10 Shooting Guards of All Time
There is nothing to say the only thing you can say that he will AlWAYS be the best not only at the SG position but he is the best ever to walk on this planet.
Are we seriously debating this?
Simple really he is the greatest basketball player of all time
His hunger to succeed and work ethic are legendary & I'm not even gonna talk about all his skills.
I'm not sure about 3 but it's debatable can't just say he doesn't belong as a 3 time champion Finals Mvp,11 time all star, 8 all nba first team selections, scoring title, all defense awards, Gold medals, etc can't just push his career to the side based on West being the logo but 1 title to show for it or Iverson who's close but no titles hurts his case... When a player like James leaves a team with players based around him and his style of play I can see the drop off but he's made the playoffs once the team was based around him and Bosh... It's debatable but people act like he shouldn't be in the conversation as 3rd best...
Top 3 no matter what, M.J. #1 Kobe #2 (longer career and same team entire career) Allen "THE ANSWER" Iverson #3 ( at 5'11" tall A.I. was and or is the toughest most electrifying player to ever play the game, changed the the nba FOREVER!
Iverson and Kobe is debetable for the second spot. Wade? How many MVPs he got? How many scoring titles he got? How many ALL-NBAs he got? Give me a break.
A.I. is just ill. How is he not even in the 5?! HE J'ED Jordan! And by far the best SG to never win a championship... Yet...
Clyde drexler was great on defense and offense. Jordan wouldn't have won any championships without pippen and rodman.
How is Jerry West (aka THE LOGO) 6th on this list? that's just crazy...at worst he should be TOP 3 if not TOP 2...just wish the younger generations would look up old school players
Tracy McGrady should be number 2. But all those injuries are what kept him from being the best player of all time. If he would have stayed healthy he would be the best player of all time. No one can touch t-mac. Have you ever seen 15 points in less then a minute against one of the best teams ever the San Antonio Spurs. Insane. Long live the T-Mac Greatest NBA Player of all time yeah I said it
Bruh do they really got Ray Allen and Reggie Miller ranked higher? Neither of those was the player that Tracy was. Tracy was an unstoppable machine. 2003 T-Mac was the best player in the NBA, Phil Jackson wanted to trade Kobe for him.
Way more than just a three point shooter. All around scorer, playmaker, and athlete. Led Milwaukee and Seattle teams to playoffs before Boston, many forget how great he really was.
The best pure shooter of all time. He surpassed the record of Reggie Miller.
He is surely one the greatest shooting guard of all time
Ray Allen is just a knockdown shooter. No way is he better than Reggie "knick killer" miller or tmac
Statistically at the end of his career vince carter will most likely eclipse 25,000 pts 6,000 pts 5,000 reb 2,000 3P made.. Along with 8 all stars and being the face of 2 franchises (as well as being 2nd all time scorer by total points with nets and raptors) 1st if you want to count by ppg or PER, he's clearly in the top 10 list.
Carter led NJ to the Finals...he led TOR with no help he helped Howard get to his 1st Finals he made the clutch shot against SA
The Big "O" was as good as anyone ever played the game.
There are only 4 SG better than James Harden in NBA history: MJ, Kobe, DWade and Drexler. James Harden is most underrated/underrappreciated player in NBA history. He can give you 30 a game, or 15 assists or hit you with a triple double here and there. The only negative thing you can say about Harden is that he has had bad playoff moments (Which were due in large part to being fatigued from carrying Houston every single year with no help). And a lot of you who still live in 2014 and say he plays no defense haven't watched Harden play on that end since then. Disrespectful to keep him out of even the top 10
Pistol Pete was a basketball wizard. The greatest scorer in college basketball history. He knew what was going to happen on the court before anyone else. One of the smartest players of all time.
Most underrated guard in history. His scoring leader contest with David Thompson (another underrated) was classic.
Manu should be in top 3! Reasons: 2004 Olympics. (Manu vs Prime Iverson, Prime Duncan, Upcomming Superstars = Wade, James & Anthony + NBA All-Stars) and some NBA championships
I think Ginobli is a top play maker. Make almost impossible paths to the basket.
Innovator, magician, winner, ultimate competitor. He belongs behind MJ with Kobe and Wade
Earl the Pearl Monroe and Walt Frazier should have been on this list and Frazier should have also been on the list for point guards, he was such a complete guard.
