Nets Point Guard Nostalgia

[British Bulldog]

Hey All

This franchise has been blessed by some truly great talent at the point guard position over the years.

My Nets fandom began with watching the classic Kidd & Carter backcourt as a child and due to circumstances I was lucky enough to attend some games during that era.

What your thoughts on how our current pg Irving & Harden compare to past players. For simplicity limit this to Kidd / Dlow / Dwill. And would you replace either Irving & Harden? If so, explain.

I liken Kyrie to his godfather, fellow Net Kenny Anderson. They have similar styles, but of course Irving is far more elite player. He has some Kobe in him.

Harden gives me Kidd vibes, but he's nothing like Ason. James is the best scorer in league history; Kidd was... not quite that. But both have the game on a string, and improve the play of any teammate.

I wouldnt limit it to just that. so many good PGs in nets history. And Devin Harris is between Kidd and Dwill also so at least include him. If im ranking the top 10 nets PGs of all time:

Harden
Kyrie
Kidd
Cassell
Kenny Anderson
Blalock
Marbury
DLo
Deron
Devin Harris

Honorable mention: Chris Childs, Robert pack

If we include ABA/Early NBA then michael ray richardson and super john (if you consider him a Pg) need to be included. Tiny ar

I like the list. I'd just swap Kidd and Kyrie, and swap Kenny and Sam.

Brain fart, my bad! Thanks for correcting me, guys.

Sorry but Deron Williams doesnt belong in any "top" Nets list.

Pretty random but this thread somehow made me think of Derrick Dial for the first time in many years.

I would also say ...top three

Harden
Ky
Kidd

Both swaps are perfectly reasonable.

its a hard list since so many guys played such a short time with the Nets.
