Re: RealGM Consensus Deep Dive All-Time Lists - Point Guards
LOL at top ten lists without Cousy, the guy who invented the position and led the league in assists eight years in a row while winning rings and an MVP.
Big O was far more accomplished than the likes of Isaiah, and Walt Frazier is miles better than Lillard and Westbrook.
I'll overlook West since he was more of a swing guard.
1. Magic
2. Steph (really more of a swing guard)
3. Cousy
4. Oscar
5. Stockton

Re: RealGM Consensus Deep Dive All-Time Lists - Point Guards
I was thinking more in terms of best not greatest. By that I mean who is the most talented and if they all were in their primes with lets say a 90 day boot camp with the best modern trainers in the world (Drew Hanlen, Tim Grover etc.) To help them catch up on modern day rules and advantages then who would be the best. This is probably not what the question asked for but I enjoy doing it this way to try and determine who are truly the most talented players of all time regardless of era.hauntedcomputer wrote:LOL at top ten lists without Cousy, the guy who invented the position and led the league in assists eight years in a row while winning rings and an MVP.

If we are talking about accomplishments within their own era then I don't disagree with you though.

Apparently I forgot Jason Kidd when I made that list and also I'd say Damian Lillard has passed him since the time I initially made it. So #14's probably a more accurate placement for Lowry. Can't say he's really done anything to pass KJ in his post-prime seasons.

Come on man, Lowry isn't a top 14 all-time NBA point guard.

He's 15th all-time among point guards in WS despite being an all-time little things guy who's probably underrated by the box score as much as almost anyone in NBA history. 26 year RAPM would rank him 6th among all PGs since 1997.
