Pl rate these guards era's: TOP3 heavy, TOP5 heavy and as the whole. (2020 era is more about perspective)

1950s Cousy, Sharman, Phillip, Martin, McGuire, Davies
1960s West, Oscar, Greer, Wilkes, Jones, Shue, Ohl, Costello, Gola, Guerin, Rodgers
1970s Frazier, Monroe, Maravich, Archibald, Bing, Goodrich, Van Lier, Westphal, Thompson, JoJo White
1980s Magic, Gervin, D.Johnson, Lever, Blackman, Robertson, Moncrief, Thomas, Gus Williams
1990s Jordan, Miller, Stockton, Drexler, Payton, T. Hardaway, A.Hardaway, Porter, Price, Dumars, Richmond, K.Johnson
2000s Kobe, Wade, Nash, Kidd, Parker, Ginobili, Allen, Carter, McGrady, Billups, Iverson, Arenas
2010s Curry, Paul, Harden, Westbrook, Lillard, Irving, Lowry, Derozan, Holiday, Conley, Klay, Rondo
2020s Doncic, Shai, Booker, Morant, Young, Mitchell, Garland, Edwards, Fox, Haliburton, Murray

50s, not sure but seems to be 3 deep with Davies, Cousy, and Sharman having an edge on the rest
60s clearly Oscar and West in a tier of their own with everyone else probably two tiers below based on separation in other eras
70s Frazier from this group is the best. Westphal and maybe Archibald and Thompson next.
80s Magic again the best but this group is much stronger than the 70s group. Below him is Gervin, Moncrief, Isiah, DJ, and Gus (though I think of Gus more in the 70s where he would be my #3 behind Westphal).
90s Jordan clear separation, then Stockton, then a bunch of solid all-pros
00s Kobe, Wade, Nash, Ginobilit, then a step down to Billups, Kidd, and another to Arenas, Vince, TMac, Penny, and the rest
10s Curry, Paul, Harden, then Westbrook, Lilliard, Klay then the rest
20s so far Luca, then we will see. Still early.
