Top 10 Point Guards in NBA History
We recently ranked our top 10 greatest players in NBA history. We decided to also create rankings by position. In this video, we're ranking the top 10 point guards of all time. What do you think of our list?

Magic Johnson himself basically said that Stockton was the perfect point guard and to watch him if you want to know how to play the position.
Lmao where did u get this from? Magic has said that the only player that could compete with him was Isiah Thomas... Stockton also played in that period
@@thejamar4 I don't know where the exact clip is, but it's in "What NBA legends think of John Stockton" TH-cam video. Check it out and then tell me if you think I misunderstood what Magic said.
@@gregkroll829 havent seen it but im pretty sure magic has said that stockton is the best pure point ever but that isiah is still a better point guard
@@thejamar4 you're arguing that Magic didn't say those things about Stockton because he said those things about Thomas? Haha give me a break! You asked for my source and I gave it to you. I don't know or care what Magic said about Thomas. I know what he said about Stockton, and that is why I posted it. If you think Thomas is better, that's great. But it has nothing to do with my post and you questioning the truth of it.
@@gregkroll829 Im not questioning the truth and i didnt say that magic didnt say those things about stockton. Re-read what i wrote. i said that magic said that stockton is the best PURE POINT ever but thomas is a better player than him
John Stockton is real definition of a team player
@harold mccoy Umm... you do realize John Stockton averaged a double-double for his career . . . . a 20 YEAR career, right? 8 of those 20 years he averaged less than 30 minutes per game... and still averaged a double-double for his career. Also he averaged 14.5 assists per game, 3 rebounds per game (only on other point guard not named Magic Johnson had 3 rebounds per game that year), 2.65 steals, and 17.5 pts in one season. No one else has even come close to that stat line. In the NBA that IS a transcendent player who took over a game whenever he wanted. 14.5 is 30 pts AND he dropped in 17.5 per game that season. That is 47 points production per game out of the PG position. On a team that averaged less than 100 per game that season. He was literally half the offense by himself. Oh did I forget to mention his assist/TO ratio was nearly FIVE TO ONE that year. That is literally insane. No one else is even close. People talk about Magic Johnson and no doubt he was a better 'player' since he could play any position, but he played an average of 4+ minutes more per game. Give those 4 minutes to 'Stock' and who knows what his numbers would have looked like. Magic averaged slightly more assists per game but remember he played only during his physical prime and was a starter pretty much from day one. Stock didn't start until his 4th season. We won't even get into the difference in the 'supporting cast' of Laker's Showtime crew vs. Utah Jazz and ... well... Karl Malone and that's pretty much the only other All-Star on that squad for most of those years.
10 time All-Star (and remember he only averaged more than 30 min per game for 11 seasons; which, basically, means every year he started... he made the All-Star team)
9 time NBA assist leader (ditto . . . . he starts... pretty much he leads the NBA in assists)
5 time all NBA Defensive team (only JKidd with 9 in 19 seasons and Gary 'the Glove' Payton with 9 in 17 seasons) putting him third in appearances by a Point Guard (Kobe Bryant had 12... unreal... I know right!)
182 Playoff games (that is two+ SEASONS of NBA playoff basketball)
15,806 assists (1st by a mile) 3,265 steals (1st by a mile)
guiwhiz Also HE MISSIED ONLY 25 Games in his entire 19 year career
Chris Paul also
harold mccoy lol u smoking crack
@harold mccoy ummm..Stockton still to this day has the most assists in NBA history...yes more than Magic Johnson..and this is coming from a life long Sonics fan who absolutely cant stand the Utah Jazz
Believe it or not, Bob Cousy had to explain to the media, coaches and players that dribbling behind the back, through the legs, and passing behind the back wasn't just "flashy" or "showing off"...these were crucial skills that, someday, every point guard would have to master. Today, Cousy looks like just another point guard, but back in the day, he was a revolution.
Cousy is the best general on the floor I've ever seen. Bar none.
@@aarondigby9859 Before my time but basically a prototype of Nash, if not Stockton and others.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 I watched a documentary about Bob Cousy, he invented the point guard position before his generalship they brought the ball past the time line by committee. Watch some of the passes he makes in transition, it's like he sees the entire court at all times.
@@aarondigby9859 Yep. Clearly he influenced a crap of load of people including Bird, Magic, Pistol, etc. But he is basically going to be forgotten in the next 10 years.
Pistol Pete Maravich was a great ball player as well, I remember him as kid. I don't know if he was considered a shooting guard but he was great!
Wilt Chamberlain- "Im starting my team with Stockton".... enough said the most true pg EVER💪💪💪
You can't rely on anything Chamberlain said. He changed his opinion constantly.
@Andrew Murray Who is cp3?
@Andrew Murray Why? ....If you are interested in creating a highlight reel, yes then maybe. But not if you want to win a championship. I'd take Magic over Chris Paul ten times out of ten and I'd also take Stockton, Isiah, Oscar and Steve Nash above him.
@Andrew Murray Kinda like Curry today, but not QUITE as much a hole on defense.
@The RightStuff For Power Forward?
Tim played center more than PF.
Where's Kevin McHale?
Anyone remember Mark Price? He was hella underrated...
Didn't expect this many likes lol
Exactly.
IKR
Great player but not top 10 pg
Yea
He was a great 3 pointer
According basketball-reference.com, Jerry West is listed as a SG for only two of his fourteen seasons, and PG for each of the other eleven. Meanwhile, Oscar Robertson is listed as PG for every season of his career. Why are these players being considered Shooting Guards?
+Mark Alford We went back and forth on this, actually. Different sites list them at different positions. The main reason for that is because they were more like combo guards that played multiple positions. Not only that but the positions weren't as defined back then. You could probably count them as either a point guard or shooting guard, but since we've always listed them as shooting guards in our previous videos, we kept them at that position for these videos in order to maintain consistency.
+Mixed Tape Videos don't say that bullshit if Oscar is not a point guard then I don't know what is same with jerry they both most definitely should be on this list smh
There's something wrong with your math buddy...
Bernard Ewing Oh. Yeah.
+Mark Alford Asked my dad and several people who grew up in the 50s-60s-70s the best they described west and robertson as modern day combo guards. not a pure point guard.
Oscar Robertson was definitely a point guard
funny dude no he wasn’t
Mossimo Tiberi no, he was.
Sorry but basketball didnt become ultra competitive and open to the ALL best players in the world until the 70's. Much like football up until the 70's alot of league rules and sneaky foul play by a handfull of teams cause the leagues to be extremely unbalanced, the draft, free agency, the playoff formats and rules helped franchises like the Celtics and Browns dominate. To much BS went on in the 50's and 60's any real basketball enthusiast who really studied the games history or corruption and rules will tell you.
@@roberto5red5rocky85 Who asked?
Dopey your mother, but I guess she deleted her comment
There is always talk about Stockton's assists and if he would have gotten there without Malone. I get why, I think he would still be top tier, but I see how it could be debated. One thing I don't get is why everyone glosses over about him being #1 in steals of all time. That's a stat you get on your own hard work and hussle, alot of the greats don't even come close (thinking of the Glove who was known for defense, respectfully, since he is another one of my favorite players). When you are an all time leader in assists (offense) and an all time leader in steals (defense), and only missed a handful of games in 19-20 seasons. You are a beast and somebody worth having on the team because you make the whole team play better. A true silent leader that lead by example, and a true competitor. I love Stock!
Carlos Edgardo Quevedo Stockton had one hall of famer he played with his whole career... magic had at least 3 or 4 easily ( Wilkes,worthy, Kareem ect. ) just to name a few... so I see the Malone argument but I feel like it’s a moot point... put Stockton around a team like that for 19 years putting up numbers in his peak like 17pts 14 ast and 3 steals while shooting like over 50% from the field people would really be calling him the goat , he would have to start putting rings on his feet lol
@@JT_SOG_513 Magic can carry a team
@@JT_SOG_513 but I'm not saying stockton is bad, i think it's just stockton is the shadow and malone is the star, the more the light the greater the shadow and i think that's why stockton is great but he's a player who's willing to guide the star and it will be great
Compared to magic that can carry a team and win
My argument to this is if you look at the best ten year span of any NBA player, Stockton is still #1 in assist and #2 in steals. There's a reason he's so far ahead of everybody in those stats. That being said, Magic was the better player, but not the better PG imo. Stockton never wanted to be the #1 guy, but he made Malone a #1 guy by far.
Who’s watching this in 2019 and wondering where Steph was until we saw when this was published😂
🙋♂️
Yup, exactly that in same order.
Lol
He wouldn't be on it anyway
@@brandinsayler4382 ya he would🤦🤦
Stockton vs. Magic is a good debate. Magic is clearly the better overall player, but Stockton is the better PG.
Wow what planet are u from don't get me wrong Stockton is one of the great point guards of all-time but please he wasn't the leader or overall player of a Big O or magic please magic won 5 rings and he had a big hand in them if not for having to retire when he did probably would be the all- time assist leader.
Roosevelt Ransom your kidding right? He made the playoffs every year of his career, and is the all time steals and assists leader, and had 2finals appearances, that ain’t enough to be in the argument? And please explain how he wasn’t a leader lmao you must’ve known him personally
I didn't mean Stockton wasn't a good leader he just couldn't do all the things that Magic could do. As attested by his winners record which started in high school won a championship college won a championship NBA won five championships. Rank with your brain not your heart Jay Schuster.
@@rooseveltransom8945Basketball is a team game. You HAVE to look at who they had as teammates if you want to talk about win/loss record as being a determining factor in who is 'better'. You look at Magic's College squad vs. Stock at Gonzaga and well... yeah. Now you compare the full 12 of the Jazz vs. the full 12 of the Lakers during the time they both were in the NBA and you are going to tell me those squads are even comparable top to bottom? Tell me what Jazz players you would pick over James Worthy, Kareem, Michael Cooper, A.C. Green, Magic . . . . then you've got Mitch Kupchak, Bob Big Play Horry, Bob McAdoo, and Kurt Rambis coming off the damn bench? Please... other than taking Karl Malone none of those Jazz make the Lakers roster those years.
@@danielstith5227 You would pick Karl Malone above all of those Lakers you mentioned except Magic. Kareem was past his prime by the time Karl was in his prime.
Tony Parker should be on this list he's got 4 rings, a finals MVP and is 9th all time in playoff points
Kyire Erving
Tony Parker
Derrick Fisher
Steph Curry.
You missed a few.
@Andrew Murray Stockton at 5? Gawd damn it Butters...😏
Andrew Murray he actually averaged a triple double three years ina row
Andrew Murray you’re fcking joking if you think Westbrook is a top 3 pg
FUCK TONY PARKER WHAT'S WHY
Magic is number 1 all time enough said. Excellent court vision and at 6’9 can play all 5 positions
Only point guards allowed buddy
Didn't take care of his body. That's a big deal and people don't even think about it
@@joshwebster4468 'its the guy from boston here this time im fuckin 10 times worse than aids"
@@kurtmagnus5243Magic is the only POINT GUARD that can play all positions
@@randybutler1697 Correction, magic is the only point guard that has played all positions.
Immediately lost my respect when you said Oscar Robertson is listed as a shooting guard. Under what grounds do you have that power? The NBA put him in the Hall Of Fame as a point guard, so who are you to go against that? 😫
Real spill
Shooting Guard is his Elite Position
Oscar is the greatest point guard as well as maybe the greatest player of all time who ever made the selections didn't want 2 put oscar and magic 1st and second.
Bruh, same
Sylvester McNutt III....I totally agree. The Big O was a point guard. Whoever made this list dont know jack about the NBA
Pistol Pete! He was so fun to watch
shooting guard
McFly how old r u?????
Point guards don't shoot 40 times a game; he was a shooting guard, who could pass
But he was also not appear in the top 10 shooting guard list. Yeah, we all know these top 10 lists are very subjective.
he a sg..
Jason Kidd favorite PG all time. Shout out to Rod Strickland!
Kevin Johnson over the Glove?! Bro that doesn't make any sense
Right
KJ the most underrated player ever , easy 20p+ 10a+ for most of his career
Paris Ts I don’t disagree that kJ is underrated, but I’m still Payton over him
@@liammartin3612 ok man I see that, when Payton improved his offense he was really a top pg, because defense was always there. KJ was never a top defender but he was good. Personally though his overall skills were and still are thrilling to me, if you see e.g. what he did in playoffs against top pg of all time in Stockton and Magic.
Unfortunately, ability as a floor general in controlling tempo and style isn’t shown in stats. Glove is a much better floor general than KJ
Oscar is most definitely a point guard lol... but the top 10 is easy... 1) Magic 2) Oscar Robertson 3) Isiah Thomas 4) John Stockton 5) Walt Frazier 6) Bob Cousy 7) Steve Nash 8) Jason Kidd 9) Gary Payton 10) Dennis Johnson
Dennis johnson? The one on the celtics? I would say westbrook or chris paul, who over their careers averaged AMAZING numbers would go take his place
He was a finals MVP with Seattle. Big shot taker, and huge clutch shot maker. And they can't replicate what DJ was able to do defensively. I would quite honestly put DJ at 9 over Gary Payton. Stats don't do DJ justice, there's a reason Larry said he may have been his best teammate.
+Arshya Arya Westbrook? Really?
+Ray Petree Being a Jazz fan, I'm definitely biased but I would put Stockton no. 2 or 3. Other than that I agree with you.
I just like Isiah more because he managed a more unconventional offense, and was a more lethal scorer than Stockton. Stockton was great at sitting at the perimeter and surveying the offense, or running a simple pick n roll. And he was a highly efficient scorer, who had great shot selection. But, Isiah could penetrate defenses and cause more damage. And he didn't have such an exceptional scorer to throw it down too like Karl.
Magic is the greatest player to be listed as a point guard...Stockton is the greatest true point guard
vipergaming 202 nash too
I would have to agree. I'd put Stockton on the top of this list. Career assist leader in several categories of assist stats? Com'on.
@@inupik23 Yeah and even back then players didn't really shoot, PG would probably pass and do a bit of defense, Stockton could shoot and pass, a LOT.
Johnson is the single most over rated PG ever !!!!But I still got him at #8 !!!
If you are one of those people to be BRAINWASHED by #s and the sports MEDIA, then u may think E.Johnson is better than he is !!! He is overrated ! The EYE TEST told me the TRUTH , after watching all his games. He is a TOP 10 PG ….YES ! BUT Not TOP 5 ! He led the league and still does last I checked,.... in TURNOVERS Per GAME ! He is a media friendly person as MJ was ! He was always on the best players bandwagon = BIRD, and was always blessed with the best supporting cast up until his era ended. (Now of course $ buys championships). He was the 2nd best player, maybe 3rd on his OWN LA Lakers Team. (Kareem & Worthy). Best PGs ever...………...……...……......

Best list I've seen on TH-cam. I'm not even a Gary Payton fan but I had to look at every list on TH-cam until I found Gary Payton in the top 10. It was driving me crazy how much disrespect he gets from newbs.
An honorable mention to Jason Williams would be appreciated for sure. That guy was so fun to watch back in the day. From that top ten list I think J Will style looks a lot like Bob Cousy's (4:03).
Thats so true!! he’s also definitely a underrated passer!!!
Kevin Johnson is a player that can only be appreciated in real time and or from HD quality video playback! He made the game look so easy at times.
Too many twelve year olds saying Nash is trash. Who haven’t even seen the suns play with him
Nash was fearless and he was a complete offensive player.
I’m 11 and Steve Nash is a GOD
Nash was AWESOME!
That's the way cos he's a Canadian. Who invented Basketball? A Canadian without him there no Basketball. Excuse me.
Steph curry is better
The best thing about stockton is, he makes his teammates looks good and managed to stay in the shadows. Just like zinedine zidane made his teammates good in football. Stockton is like a general who likes to wear a sargeant uniform so people would overlook him.
Stockton was the reason of Malone shining
Hell who else on the team had great scoring potential
Great job on the videos, i look forward to seeing them every time!
Thanks for the support!

Brandon Knight is a complete beast averaging only 10 points per game -_-
Lol
TP9 have 4 rings and a Finals MVP 🤔
9th all time in playoff points too
Still not top 10
This is the best list that's out there!
Mark Price is not just one of the most underrated PG's of all time. He's one of the most underrated basketball players of all time. I see a lot of players get love that couldn't hold Price's jock. He did his thing in the all Star games too against the best. Not to mention back to back 3 point champ. He's one of the few that's part of the 50, 40, 90 club.
As a kid and Bulls fan in the 90s, I hated Price. He always gave my Bulls a hard time. Those Cavs were all wrong for them.
You should do a sixth man top 10 rankings
#BobbyJones
yes, and # 1 being Shawn Marrion.
@@donsremodeling if I could up vote this more than once....
Kevin McHale hands down. A lot of peeps don't realize he won 6th man of the yr twice...and came off the bench his 1st 5 or 6 seasons. Bobby Jones is a good call tho👍.
Another solid list that I would not change a ranking. Impressive!
Excellent selection, the best.
Oscar Robertson was a point guard this video wrong on that part
Raye Newell no he wasn’t listed as a point guard. They have him listed as a Forward. I think small forward.
@@DrewAndrews who? I just checked he's a pg
Thank u
Zeke the only player in NBA history to beat arguably 3 of the best players (Jordan, Magic & Bird) in NBA history when it mattered, the Playoffs.
1.Magic
2.Zeke
3. Stockton
Timmyho Smith BIG FACTS!!!
Timmyho Smith you're the greatest. Especially because I'm an Isaiah Thomas fan. 😁
Nuff said bro
Timmyho Smith agee 100% Zeke is massively underrated he’s the second best PG to ever play
John Stockton is the PG of a team while many others are for their shows!
I am Mexican-American and emulate this guys game on the neighborhood court. I even made a makeshift shirt and with a permanent marker wrote on the back STOCKTON 12. Young players don't know him and don't care about assists. I school them with many assists. I love seeing their frustration when I give up the ball for an easy assist and basket. I have won many games in the hood because of my assists. But they will never notice in the hood that assists still wins game too. I know that for the most part it was the fundamental assist that won those games. Assists are just one part of the fundamentals next to rebounds, defense, block outs, mid range shot and aggressive play. All lost now for the stupid 3pointer.
Also, we need more Mexican-American players in the NBA .Many of us could play and assist just as good as Stockton, Nash, Paul but we get passed by for the white or black player with same skills. I have seen it happen to high school kids and middle school kids they just get bypassed with a bad perception that a black or white player play better. Just look at March Madness and see how many Mexican or Hispanic players you see. NONE. NBA. NONE. Just the facts. College Latino coaches and staff practically NONE. And no crap about Mexicans being too short because there are many 6',6'1, 6'2 and 6'3 Mexican-American players that play with all those fundamentals but get bypassed. Can we at least have an Asian American Jeremy Lin moment in the NBA?
The Sage
The best point guard would be Steve Nash on the offensive side, and Gary Payton on the defensive side. So basically... John Stockton.
Luke Letter cp3 is better on offense than Nash. Just as effiecieny, better scorer, just as great a passer but bettet ast/turnover rate, better offensive rating, better PER. CP3>Nash
In terms of player primacy and peak value, CP3 is the greatest offensive player at the point guard position in the modern NBA
edward thomas Western Conference Finals?0
Luke Letter Really ? Magic Johnson is Top 5 Best Player ever and Basically Best PG Ever .Lakers Had Number 1 Pick cause They were not doing Good and They already Had Kareem Abdoul Jabaar .Magic Stepped n Boom They Won over 56 Games Magic is Rookie of the Year and The Win Champion Ship His 1st Year .Magic Johnson and The Lakers Beat the 76ers with DR J and A Squad ,Magic Just Turned This 30 Win Team Around .Steve Nash or Gary Payton Could not do this its insane or Compare John Stocton to Magic Johnson .Also LeBron James is no Magic Johnson ,Larry Bird ,Kobe Bryant or Michael Borden Jorden ,Tim Duncan .He is a Team Jumper and about to Jump after this Year also .Those Players Played n Tough Times and At least John Stockton Built With Malone and Had Loyalty .Larry Bird Did not have to go Play with Magic to Win a Ring Like Lebron Did with Wade and Then Goes to Kyrie Irvin .LeBron is 3 and 5 n the Finals If The Warriors Get Healthly Lebron Loses Again .
I got my faith in the rockets this playoffs. Hopefully CP3 can finally cash a ring, along with James Harden, Capela, Green, Anderson, Johnson and Ariza.
Stockton is my guy!
Consider examining the late Dennis Johnson.. He was a huge in all categories as needed for teams to win. I can't evaluate his anlayltics, in any way compared to his empansizining whatever focus would win.
Penny hardaway would be here if didn’t deal with injury’s
You left shaq out .
Azrael 96 keep your ring
Azrael 96

Azrael 96 center
Shaq was not a point guard
Mike Steevens He was being sarcastic.
when I see comments saying curry should be on this list LOL
True that were is steph curry
+Letecia Francia He had one great season and you think he should be on the top 10 point guards of all time list?...
He's had more than 1 great season he just only had 1 MVP season I understand curry has a lot of bandwagon fans now but don't let that blind you from how good this dude is right now man I'd take curry right now over Nash in his prime n wouldn't think about it AT ALL js
+Shane Robinson he only got one MVP. Well so did kobe
+Sixten Dahlquist I wasn't saying that as a diss I was saying he's had a lot of great seasons not only his MVP one same thing with Kobe but we all know politics is only reason Kobe doesn't have more MVPs
if we are talking about the best PG ever played the game: John Stockton, no doubt. If we are talking about best player ever played on PG position: open discussion.
I'm sorry, but what Magic did in only 9 seasons just can't be beaten.
If he'd have played for 17 years like John Stockton, he'd have every record in the book.
Magic, Curry, Cp3, Kidd were all better
magic would get my vote. but he had an incredible supporting cast. give stockton that same supporting cast (worthy, jabbar) and I think stockton comes out on top. plus magic clearly had a better coach.
When she said no Oscar ai and jerry west I flipped my shit before she said they were ranked as sg😂
and they were; no insult to them; Oscar was "special player" like MJ, west was one dimensional 2 guard
The late great Dennis Johnson three championships and finals MVP with the Seattle SuperSonics and Boston Celtics! What is on numerous all NBA defensive teams, red Auerbach traded for him to defend magic Johnson come championship time!! I don't believe any point guard has won 3 championships finals MVP and made all-defensive teams multiple times!! DJ unquestionably should be on this list!!!! Mark Jackson 2nd all time in assists!! Nate tiny Archibald the only player in NBA history to lead the league in points and assists in the same season, he also want to championship and is in the Hall of Fame!!
Tell them' Todd!!!
I will stick neck out and agree on Dennis Johnson, but his true greatness was his DEFENSE- I think maybe best defensive guard ever- in the position by far hardest to stop other guards (sorry powerforward lovers, you have 94 feet of hell guarding another guard, and the BMR of the position requires a great athlete with great endurance)
I HOPE you continue because even with your standard I can't argue!!(
Stockton had one hall of famer he played with his whole career... magic had at least 3 or 4 easily ( Wilkes,worthy, Kareem ect. ) just to name a few... so I see the Malone argument but I feel like it’s a moot point... put Stockton around a team like that for 19 years putting up numbers in his peak like 17pts 14 ast and 3 steals while shooting like over 50% from the field people would really be calling him the goat , he would have to start putting rings on his feet
I'm wondering if I'm the one guy who thinks Nash is a top 3 point guards of all time.
probally
Nope, dude was a pure PG. I'd only put CP3 above him.
Da Truth That makes me sad, dude was my childhood Icon
+Arrownoir no way
nah
Curry...great shooter. Stats...22.5 PPG 6.8 APG. John Stockton...greatest pg ever. Stats...13.1 PPG 10.5 APG. Someone tell me how Curry belongs in top 10 PGs of all time.
He doesn't. He's more of a shooting guard. A true PG shouldn't average more points than anyone else on the team.
Nate Archibald, Len Wilkins not mentioned although some guards defy strict definition of Point vs Shooting like Tiny and also Big O they did it all. Cousy defined the guard position for Assists and Nash Most reminds me of him.
Stockton is the best ever .. He is a factor why the mailman is in the hall of fame
No chips though and couldn’t get past magic or Isiah in the 80’s.
Oscar Robertson, Dennis Johnson, Steph Curry
Kenneth Daugherty this was made in 2015
I was also screaming "No Steph"? AND THEN I looked at the upload date, and it was October 2015. So I guess that makes it acceptable. HOWEVER, CP3 is in the list. I know CP3 is one of the all-time greats BUT I just can't see him making this top-10 list. Moreso because of one LEGENDARY name that is suprisingly not in the list...NATE ARCHIBALD. If CP3 and Kevin Johnson are in this list, how can Archibald not be in it? Never saw him play but the records and basketball history books say so much about his greatness.
ponypower8 CP3, not top 10?????
ponypower8 You bugging Cp3 definitely top 10
u a joke lmao DENNIS JOHNSON? whatchu smokin bruh
I 100% agree with your list. Great job guys! Are gonna make top 10 SGs in NBA history? I mean we all know MJ will be on top, but the guys below still matter as well.
+DaveSwag would love to see where big O and west will rank, also i thik wade deserves to be on it as well
Yup. We're going to do top 10s for each position. Shooting guard will be next.
Mixed Tape Videos YUS!! Can't wait!
NeoLegendX Yeah. I would definitely expect to see Wade on there along with Iverson, West and Kobe. I'm not too sure about Big O though.

Iconic space 😂
williams was a entertainer with his ball handles.nothing more than that
Magic, Isaiah, AI if you calling him a PG, followed by Stockton. Don't ever disrespect these guys by putting Nash over them.
Personally I believe John Stockton is the best PG ever
Magic was much better pg then Stockton
King Kong Aint Got Shit On Me at what? Stock could shoot, was harder to defend than MJ according to The Glove, was pass first guy, got Malone to 2nd on the all time scoring list, has the most assists AND STEALS. That speaks volumes. Give him a better shot and he could dominate in any era.
curry, magic, Irving, oh my god...
@@ApolloTheUltimate Kyrie? He's not on this level yet.
No he’s really not, magic has won 5 titles, players are referred to as the greatest by how many titles they have and that’s facts
John Stockton is the greatest point guard I ever saw play. Payton, Kidd, Parker and Nash were great but John was the greatest.
um52 you crazy Stockton never won mvp so I rather take Nash over him
@@brianamendoza8788 Just because people underated you doesn't mean your bad.
Briana Mendoza he never won mvp because he was under the shadow of Carl malone
@@brianamendoza8788 Only because they gave MVP to the guy he dished it to and completed the play. A true point guard is the facilitator not just a scorer. It's like a quarterback still needs someone to catch the ball in the endzone.
Zeek is better
1996-97 Phoenix Suns are the only team in NBA history to have a winning streak of 10+ games and a losing streak of 10+ games in the same season... They started off the season with a 13 game losing streak shortly before trading Michael Finley to the Mavs in exchange for Jason Kidd... Kidd would soon lead them on a streak of 11 wins in a row and 16 wins in their last 20 games to sneak into the playoffs.
New subs here..thank you for all your videos, very informative. Good Job!
Stockton. If I had one choice for a point guard to lead my team he is the most reliable and talented every time.
how is Payton #9 smh
only
Tyler my name is Tyler
Tyler i
wtf payton #9??
Peyton should be top 5
You definitely got 1 and 2 correct (opinion, of course). Magic is my favorite, followed by Stockton.
Totally agree..even with steph now..but steph is right he will be in the top 10 list when his career is finished!!
Hardaway was coming for all of these cat's.. If only he didn't get injured.
facts
Ya
Penny could of been top 3 all time 😔
Tim..

Where's kwame brown?
King James No, where the hell is Shaq?
fLight
Bob was ahead of his time. I'll take him over John. I still think JKidd is the best ever💯
I love to see if any of today’s pg could handle the league like it was then. This list would eat them!!
Stockton #1
Parker and Curry deserve to be on this list.
Clément Rouget this was 3 years ago
@@trvpstardev For Parker doesn't change the debate^^ For Curry I agree with you.
yea
Parker no
If Curry play in 70s-90s ppl won't know who he is
John Stockton needs to be the #1 on this list of pure pointgards. Magic played every position... his stats are skewed, not all PG. Magic even said Stockton was the best.
Gary Wright Stockton was definitely the true PG. No one will ever be able to come close to his passing ability. Magic Johnson was listed at and played point guard tho. His height definitely played a big role, since people not used to defending PGs has to defend Magic. Magic and Lebron are kinda the same, since Lebron is said to be the greatest sf of all time, even tho he has and can play all 5 positions. It’s the fact that he’s listed at SF that gets him the ranking. Stockton was definitely the best pure PG in history, really defined what it meant to play point guard.
It's hard to argue against Magic Johnson. Still, I would put John Stockton at the top. He just did too many things and never let up. And, he was always excitijg to watch. Thanks for video.
Magic was way above John. John was really good but could not take over a games like magic or Isiah . Nor did he win a title in the stacked 80’s or the Jordan dominated 90’’s.
No Tony Parker? Man that is an insult.
jhon rabara tony is amazing but I say all these players r better
jhon rabara for real man
maybe top 15
No it’s not be honest if we wasn’t on spurs he wouldn’t have those rings
He is the ninth all time in playoff points. That's more than Larry Bird btw
i swear if curry is here. ill comment my thought after the vid
good enough
stfu bitch
WHERE IS STEPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Steph is better than cp3!!!!!
Yonathan Suryanto nah cp3 a real pg
cp3
0 MVPs
0 Rings
0 finals
In the 00-01 season the Nets were 26-56, then they traded Steph Marbury for Jason Kidd and the next season they went 52-30, top seed in the East, and made it all the way to back to back NBA Finals appearances.
The Suns were in last place at 8-19 when they traded for Kidd in 1997, they ended up still making the playoffs that season and pushed the 2 seeded Sonics to the brink in 5 games.
Last time the Knicks made the playoffs? Was the one season a 40yo Jason Kidd played for them.
Scott Skiles- 30 assiists one game and an attitude that made a cobra seem nice-hated him, but would want him at point guard over several on this list
Tony Parker, Finals MVP and Four NBA Championships
Rudy Esquivel underrated
Rudy Esquivel championships alone don't mean you're a 10 top player, but I do agree he is a great PG.
I think stats weigh more than accolades . .
Parker should not have won finals MVP duncan was the best player
Rudy Esquivel his numbers are hardly above avg hes overrayed without Duncan and ginobli he'd have 0 titals
10 Bob Cousey
09 Gary Payton
08 Walt Frazier
07 Steve Nash
06 Pistol Pete Maravich
05 Jason Kidd
04 Isiah Thomas
03 Oscar Robertson
02 John Stockton
01 Magic Johnson
Pistol pete is a shooting guard
Pistol Pete is a sg so get steph curry to replace him
I get that this is old but Nate Archibald should be in there
La'Rue Mathis I’ll take Jason Kidd over Nash any day imo. Kidd did a lot of the same with defense.
1 Stockton
2 Magic
3 Oscar
4 Isiah
5 Cousy
6 Kidd
7 CP3
8 Nash
9 Walt Frazier
10 the Glove
Curry will probably end up on this list at the end of his career, but I'm leaving him off for now due to him having a lot more of his career to go.
No Oscar Robertson? He's one of the Top 5 PGs of all time by any metric, and he and Stockton and Payton are the three best defensive PGs ever. That's a crazy omission.
It's an omission of convenience. If you include Big O, AI, and Steph it becomes a lot harder to do the list.
I'm not a big basketball fan, so I'm sorry if I say sth sounds stupid :D I just don't understand why there are more familiar names in top 10 Shooting Guards than in top 10 point guards. For example, the top 10 Shooting guards have names I familiar such as Ray Allen, D Wade, Iverson, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan... , while I only know Steve Nash and Magic Johnson in the list Point Guards. I don't understand why???? Is it true that playing Shoot guard is easier to be famous?
Bruh where the fuck is Tim Duncan smh
Tim Duncan, a point guard?
+Mixed Tape Videos mhmm, the man, unfortunately lacking in size, has some of the greatest athleticism and court vision I've seen in someone playing on the perimeter. Always finding his boy Manu in the post against smaller players.
+- Slice - hahaha
Take that W 😂
+- Slice - yeah, but he had the GOAT front court of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Danny Green
Kevin Johnson better than Gary Payton? No.
Kevin Johnson top 10 pg all-time?
No.
They even put Chris Paul above Bob Cousy....smh
Yes KJ is/was better than GP. He ate his lunch every time the Suns played SEA. Gary was a better defensive player but KJ was so much better all around. I watched them go at it their entire careers and this isn't even a question. The only joke is that GP is in the Hall with inferior numbers than KJ's. Averaged less points and assists yet in the HOF... can anyone agree the HOF is political?
Aizen THE G.O.D i mean, if Cousy played in Pauls era do you really think he could compete?
Hey!
@kieran brady No KJ was not better than Gary Payton. Sure Kevin had some good seasons but that's just it. Gary had a better overall career and he made players around him better.
Great list. Oscar should have been apart of.
You forgot Mark Price! If you compare his stats against all the other point guard greats who didn’t win a title (Stockton, Nash, & Chris Paul) - He stacks up quite well. He’s most like Steve Nash and one of the greatest shooting point guards of all-time. He almost averaged 50/40/90 for 5 years! Go check out the stats and watch some video - Price should be on this list!
Don't get me wrong Steve Nash was an incredible player. He was an amazing passer and was the first player to be lethal shooting off the dribble, inspiring the play style of point guards that you see today. But he isn't the 3rd best point guard in history. He should be lower on this list.
Stockton could/should be #1...
But Magic? The rings and his style are just too much! We all knew it was the Magician, but Stockton!
Great list and info.
luda650 john stockton definitely shouldn’t be the top pg
This is old
@Jared Taylor yes
@Jared Taylor maybe?
@Jared Taylor okay, i tried.
...but sometimes?
One love!
Think we’re gonna need an updated list please
Pistol Pete should make this list. His stats are impressive enough and set the tone for flashy assist that future guards like Magic were certainly influenced by.
I was expecting to see him
The stats clearly show Stockton was the best point guard of all time. Magic ranked higher here just because his TEAM won championships, but championships aren't part of a single position or how well that position is played. In other words, how many rings somebody wears has nothing to do with how well one person played his position. Rings are given to the entire team, even the bench riders who may have not even played in the finals.
Big O not a SG 😂
Now see, this, this is how to produce a channel with great videos. No 'aren't we super cool' extended opening sequences. No autobot voice-overs. No endless repeating of specific scenes. No gimmicks. No frills. And refreshingly, a female narrator and not some NBA fanboi, using slang and fotm expressions.
Instead, we have a slick, informative and captivating video that is easy to watch, understandable and to me personally, exactly how basketball videos should be produced.
Nice one, thank you.
Stockton with 5 defensive teams only while leading the nba on all time steals. Damn
Nate “The Skate” Archibald?
You mean tiny
Nate the skate, led the league in scoring and assists. My favorite of all time.
So splendid!!
I would like to see a video on Dwyane Wade if you guys think he fits for underrated or overrated. Personally, I think he is definitely underrated. Should've won MVP in 2009. Only reason he didn't is because his team was that good and LeBron got the first seed. To be fair, Wade led a trash team to 5th seed.
How you putting Kevin Johnson over the Big O?
By what you've presented, I have to say that Jason Kidd is the best. Stockton had Malone. Magic had Kareem. Who did Kid have? Oh yeah, Dirk. And not only did they win a championship, they beat LeBron, Dwayne and Bosh. Pretty impressive. The fact that he lead the Nets to the finals twice with good, but not great players around him is also very impressive. As are his stats. A great all around player--2nd in assists and steals? Holy cow. Fifth in 3 pointers? Very impressive considering he had a reputation at the end of his career for not wanting to shoot the ball. He was also one of the smartest and most competitive players I've ever seen.
Well spoken my dude...They just dont know!
led the Nets to final twice because the league was weak af esp the East. beat Lebron Wade Bosh is not that impressive Wade Bosh past their prime Lebron is overated, plus he was nt the best player on their team, not even second best.
when we talk about best player in the history Magic is in the discussion. Magic and Bird were the face of 80s. Kidd never reach his height.
Overall, good ratings. Love John Stockton
Jason Kidd - he can assist, shoot and rebound.
Magic, Isiah, Oscar are the Top 3 Greatest PGs in History.. Period plus they have the Rings, Finals MVPs to back them up & they were the focal point of their teams!!!
Is that still the case today?
Isaiah doesn't belong in the top ten. Hella overrated.
Na, this video was dead on.
Oscar Robertson should still be on this list at #2 or 3 and Thomas before Nash
