Mt Rushmore of guards

[Lalouie]

this is an atrocious list as it leaves off west, cousy, and oscar

btw,,,mt rushmore was hammered out in 1940's at least over a dozen years in the making, and if you haven't noticed no one has been added since it's completion. do you know why?,,,,BECAUSE IT'S MT RUSHMORE!!

and no one is changing the presidents' face on the $1, $5, or $10 either

it should be cousy,,,west,,,oscar,,,magic,,,mj

ant harden etal can be subway tokens though

Those guys wouldn't even be top 4 guards today.

this is seriously a dumb answer that doesn't even address what i said

so let me put it this way - "and t-roosevelt, washington, lincoln, jefferson wouldn't know how to operate a cell phone either

[chicago paxsons]

Jordan, magic, west, robertson

[One_and_Done]

CP3 and Nasc but no Stockton in that poll?

If I had 20 options, Stockton still wouldn't have made it.

[Sign5]

Lol at Nash getting more votes than Wade. Most overrated guard on RGM

[Future Coach]

What's the over/under on OP's age? 15 years old? I'm leaning towards the under...

[Lalouie]

Jordan, magic, west, robertson

i listed cousy but could easily have left him off.

in the end he was more of a "well known" name as opposed to defining guard like the other four

[mowcrowbar]

This is too easy. MJ, Magic, Kobe and Curry. No questions or debate needed. Next.

I agree with you.

[Godymas]

I had to swap Jordan out for SGA

simply because SGA is the modern Jordan

Curry Magic SGA Luka

In order of defining the point guard position, it's probably Bob Davies, Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson, and Magic Johnson.

Thread title did not line up with the poll question and I noticed too late lol. I thought of it as greatest guards of all time, not who I'd build a team around. Some of those players are still way too young to know how great they can be.

That's the way OP operates. One question in the thread title, another in the poll.

Plus the Kobe bashing (and I'm not even a huge Kobe fan...).

There have been multiple threads in the past with this modus operandi.

Disappointing.

If the question was actually referring to the Mount Rushmore of guards like the title implies, I'd go:

Jordan
Magic
Curry
Robertson/West (coin flip)

[OdomFan]

Shooting Guards -
Jordan
Kobe
Wade
West

Point Guards -
Magic
Stockton
CP3
Oscar

[HighFlyer23]

MJ
Magic
Kobe
West


Although Wade is right there with West

And I wouldn't say anything Iif someone had Curry up there

[Fencer reregistered]

For an actual Mount Rushmore, I go with West, Magic, Jordan, Curry.

Cousy, Oscar, and Kobe are the toughest omissions.

Note that the Presidents on Mt. Rushmore are chosen for being symbolic (personally iconic or otherwise), not purely the very greatest or best.

[Wingy]

Oscar? West?

I wouldn't take them over any of these guys, including Harden and Ant.

Rename the thread then.

“Mt Rushmore from the guards that One_and_Done likes most”

[QMemphis]

Oscar? West?

You understand how shortsighted that is to not have Thomas, Oscar, West and Stockton on this list. It shows your lack of basketball knowledge.

[shi-woo]

I mean it's kind of Hard to go against MJ, Magic, and Steph...

Some guys worth mentioning that aren't on the poll are Gary Payton and Jason Kidd. Their defense and ability to guard 1-3 in this era would be huge, and they both provided you solid offense. Payton would be Jrue at his absolute best, and Kidd would be a monster averaging a Triple Double or close to it, making everyone much better than they are.

I would certainly take those guys in this era because of their defensive impact combined with their elite ball skills on offense. I would take both those guys over someone like Nash or CP3

CP3 and Nasc but no Stockton in that poll?

If I had 20 options, Stockton still wouldn't have made it.

You made a poll and a thread seeking people's opinions. Yet you ignore the opinions and impose your own on others. Which means you have an agenda. Which means you should not be taken seriously, and you should be viewed as someone who is not credible.

No because those guys aren't that good. This is about who is the best, not who is the most famous.
