it is sad T-mac never lead a team past the first round.
Yea he kept saying make it out the first round .
I’m glad you used the term “lead”
He actually played in the nba finals before
@@jakeithmosley132 yeah true true. 2013 spurs.
Top 20 most skilled players of all time, unfortunately injuries and choking made him fall to about the 50 spot
Damn, the Klay disrespect is palpable. The 2nd best shooter of all time, a better defender than anyone outside the top 3 of this list, a 3 time champion and also has some of the best performances of anyone in this list, like 60 pts in 11 dribbles and 29 minutes or Game 6 Klay.
Clay Thompson hasn't had a full career yet. Longevity is a factor being on any list and most sports. Its a lot of guys wit 3 rings u never heard about that were great shooters. Having KD on those teams was they main reason. Of Clay win 1 like without what Brooklyn got, much respect. Bucks showed what's up.
@@ThePasterio But he put Giannis in the list on the other video?
@@ThePasterio Klay has had a better career than TMac at least. Dude deserves to be top 10 even if he retired today
@@gregdubs3763 definitely got klay over tmac because of career and achievements but u gotta have klay as 10 and keep reggie as 9 this isnt a bad list compared to your point guard list
Klay is easily better than tracy Reggie Ray and George. Better on offense better on defense better at winning
Klay should’ve been in this list and in a decent spot considering how he ranked Ray Allen tho.
The amount of disrespect Klay gets on the all time list is incredible
Klay Thompson is not as good in the playoffs as he is in the regular season. When it really matters, its effectiveness is reduced.
@@glennrobinson.377 tell that game 6 klay😂❤
Klay didn’t do what Ray Allen did…
How bro
Reggie Miller would kill the league if he played today…
Reggie Miller’s value on the court is really understated, especially when it comes to playoffs. His production was that of a top 3 scorer ever, very efficient, team-chemistry friendly, because he could play on and off-ball incredibly well, the spacing he provided, and the length of his all-NBA impact is incredible
I'm so glad I discovered this channel. This is exactly the kind of off-season NBA videos I love to watch.
Lol about mj : "it's indisputable why he's number 1 on this list" 🤣 facts
Yung Mustard Is My Drug i need his 🔥 Videos everyday!!
r u high?
Klay thompson?
Im not giving you the platinum chip, mr house
You shouldnt need drugs at all. Save yourself while you can!
@@SKUMDOGMATT 😭
James Harden is not better than Clyde Drexler. Clyde lead the Trailblazers to 2 NBA finals. Harden choked many times against the Warriors.
Fax. Drexler is underrated and considered as 2nd best with Mj in the 90s
@@tj5180 No, Hakeem would like a word sir
@@YungMustard I said SG not in the NBA
@@tj5180 nahh it just says second best my guy
@@YungMustard that's how people described drexler. He was the 2nd best SG with Mj in the 90s. I didnt mean nba tho. I made a mistake with that
Agree with Clyde Drexler and where he is ranked. People forget, with the Trailblazers for many years he was the best player on a contending team. When he went to the Rockets, Hakeem was the best player, but he contributed to them winning a title as their second best player. Pretty good list overall.
1995 rockets weren't as bad as people claim they were. Kenny Smith drexler also Horry all contributed and were big for the rockets that season
@@tj5180 They beat the Knicks in 1994 in the Finals before Drexler was on the team, I think they traded Otis Thorpe straight up to get Drexler. In 1995 Rockets swept the Magic which to me was surprising as well as Shaq was playing, Hakeem was even better. Clyde I think was the second leading scorer on the team.
Allen Iverson in his prime is EASILY a top 5 shooting guard of all time
No he isnt
MJ, Kobe, D Wade, Harden, Clyde,
Zacquee Entertainment No he isnt He is overrated
🤡🤡
Harden isn’t better than AI lol
0:57 no way you didn't flinch to this 😂
10:16 Actually it works the other way. If you shoot more 3s your FG% goes down. So him not shooting 3s doesn't make that efficiency more impressive. That's why no one should ever use FG% and use eFG%.
by wade being that efficient scoring primarily in the paint against ben fucking wallace is impressive. did you forget ben wallace was a great interior defender(4xDOPY)
Subscribed. A couple videos in and I respect the old school love. And. Not just looking at the stats. NBA isn't just about stats and skills. Leadership and will have a lot to do with it.
Man if you include Tmac in the SG list you should have included Paul George in the SF one, their careers are incredible similar but Paul George is a better defender and have got 3 times to CF
There are 10 better sf all time than Paul George.
Paul George was a better defender he gotta get his respect back on that end. Luka was killing him and kawhi and then he was getting cooked by booker . Yes I’m talking playoffs because that’s where “best defenders” need to show up. For example everyone seen what jrue holiday. He’s solidified as a true defender. With George I gotta see it.
@@jordansanders1357 not fair comparison. Like you said luka cooked PG and Kawhi. After Kawhi went out George was not was gonna lockdown Booker since he had to carry the offense. Jrue is the 3rd scoring option not the first. On top of that he played great D and SUCKED on offense majority of the playoffs
@@2nifty201 Jrue on the Pelicans was still able to put up 20+ while looking up a top 3 PG
PG ain’t a top 10 SF
When I see mustard upload a video it brightens my day immediately
This a solid list bro... thanks for takin yo time wit this my boy hood shit 💯
You're a man a culture as well 😌
Cheers from France 🇫🇷
You're in my top bucket of TH-cam basketball👍👍
Well that was unnecessarily rude, i appreciated his comment.
U dope man keep the vids coming
George gervin deserves the number three spot for the fact that gervin at one point was one of the second player behind Wilt Chamberlain doing his run to put up nearly 30 points a game, besides jordan, Iverson, or wade, or clide the glide putting up not as near as that much points average a game, gervin did it..
When you do power forwards and get to Tim Duncan end the video after you say his name
centers gonna be tough except for number 1 spot ofc
yep hakeem
Hold tf up mustard , you got AI at 6 ????? Damn 🤦🏾♂️
That’s the only one he got right
He should've been lower if he included West as a SG
He shouldn’t be top 10 , most overrated player of all time. People actually believe Iverson was better than D Wade.
Wtf is wrong with you
you have forgotten Joe Dumars^^ clear 4th ^^ - otherwise pretty solid - not exactly how i would picked them after 3 but nothing strange
Great list
Great video
Great list, congratulations. Where do you rank Pistol Pete Maravich?
Mustard with another banger!!!
How you start off the video with Klay Thompson highlights and don’t even put him in the top ten?!?!?! Lol 😂. Talk about teasing.
More rankings!🤤
People forget how good Drexler was,at one point there was a legitimate debate of who was the best 2guard him or MJ(which after they met in the Finals was never brought up again lol)...Great list, the only change I would make is a guy I know you didn't see play named Jerry West(the logo) should be on it,he's probably the 3rd or 4th greatest guard of all time&I'd take Harden off...I know he has a lot of fans but imo he's overrated. I feel like he benefit from traveling &the new rules more than anyone & you can't build a team around him for him to lead,he's better as a 2nd or 3rd option,just look at his failures in the playoffs as the man in Houston...again before ppl bash me in the comments that's my opinion
Jerry West easy 3rd (TOP 15 players of all time). Where is Sam Jones, Bill Sharman and Hal Greer???
@@VikingShoppl I agree 100%...Unfortunately I think a lot of the older players get overlooked by today's generation because they believe if you don't jack up 18 3's a game then you can't play. They don't understand that before Curry it was considered a bad shot & a lot of the older players could shoot from distance but didn't because either the coach wouldn't allow it or it wasn't a high quality shot.
@@ptmrwithzo
Exactly! In the 1980s, Isaiah Thomas was in second place 3-pt shooting with 29% (RS '83) success rate as the craft was just being learned. The players, on the other hand, did many other things (for example, they defended!). Thinking about defense, I remembered Dennis Johnson (PG or SG?).
@@VikingShoppl That's the argument I always have with ppl.Now a days you're "special" if you're a 2 way player but back in the 80's you had to be effective on both sides of the ball.Not taking anything away from today's top players,but ppl forget that today's game has been made easier to score intentionally for ratings. There's a lot of players today putting up 20ppg but wouldn't be able to play back then & struggle to get 10ppg from the physicality alone. Any guy that could average 20+ppg back then with hand checking & all of the hits that wasn't a foul would probably put up 35+ppg playing today. Prime example is Curry,for as great of a shooter he is & I am a fan of his, he wouldn't have lasted back then because 1,he wouldn't have wide open 3's,2,there was real centers & PF in the paint so it would be difficult to score in the paint& 3rd,he wouldn't have the space to dribble the way he do, he would get bodied up & probably hurt because physicality is his weakness.
Why did you do Shaq like that 😭
Reggie Miller was and is still underrated. He was the best in the league at what he did. He was by far the most efficient perimeter scorer in the league in his prime. Yes, more efficient than Jordan.
Klay is better
@@anubis4032 Not even close. Reggie Milller was WAY better than Klay Thompson.
@@anubis4032 man, you should have seen Reggie lead that team! Who can forget when he scored 8 points in like 9 seconds to be the Knicks! So crazy. Plus all that trash he talked. I'm sorry, Reggie was incredible. If you ever get a chance to watch his old games do it.
He was also clutch but no way was he more efficient than MJ unless you're referring to three point shooting.
That list is 🔥
what’s the beat bro?🔥
How is Pete Maravich not here though?
Plus, Hal Greer and Joe Dumars have better careers than T-mac and maybe Reggie.
Hal Greer and Dumars I agree with but Maravich easily the most overrated player of all time
@@daanishkhan9370 🙄ok...
great list ...love how u showed love to drexler
Iceman too..Mans did his research
That is wayyyy to high for James harden, past the first three spots I was like damn I guess no love for harden but I was wrong ig
Tmac was carry some really shit Orlando magic teams. Outside of him they had no offsense. A banged up grant hill doing nothing. Also funny enough when NBA changed first round from best 5 to 7. Tmac got F as he already beat Detroit by winning 3 games. Also doc rivers was coach no surprise he choker.
Cleo okita storm Eula Tmac is so overrated He never carried anyone Grant Hill wasnt always hurt . Tmac hdYao Ming in Houston and still did nothing. Tmac go hurt one year and his team got out of the first round without him LOL cased closed Tmac was the most overrated player ever !!!
@@chriswolf1089 Harden and Miller never got the hype that TMAC got and Iverson led his team to the finals during the same era that TMAC couldnt get out of the first round
Good list
My list is spot on with yours 100%
I’d include Klay on this list and put Drexler over Harden.
drexler over harden???!?!

@@tj5180 based on what
@@tmac731 hell no lol
I was about to say why is Allen inversion not in top point guard, now I reaLzied that he’s in shooting guard group
In my opinion he doesn’t necessarily have a place in either top 10.
Iverson won mvp and went to the finals in 2001 as a SG. His best seasons was at SG so iverson is known as a 2
@@Max-kv8uw he does
@@Max-kv8uw he does and I think you dont watch basketball in old time so that’s why you don’t consider him as top 10 pint guard
@@tmac731 true
Just waiting for the rest of your list SF, PF and C.
Ronin Lol this dude with his revisionist history smh. Talking about Bi11 Russell competion You got jordan #1 and he played in a diluted era. “The league is so filtered and watered down. I don’t think anyone can beat us with our eyes closed. -“Dennis Rodman … smh lmao
AI was extremely influential in terms of NBA culture, brought the braids, the tats, and hip-hop into the NBA, definitely a top 10 SG of all time, but he didn't pave the way for small guards to play as he did, there was Rod Strickland, Isaiah Thomas (from the 80s), Kenny Anderson, and a host of other small guards that went to the rack to score.
❤
Making my god team for blacktop with my boy and I ran into you so I can refresh my mind and man your shit go hard
This one is spot on
After 1 and 2 is when things always get interesting.
Tmac definitely was on my Spurs so he made it out the first round before bro
He didn’t even play
No way u actually count him riding the bench for the 2013 Spurs as him making it out of the first round
@@dmulumba26 is it true or false ?
I think t-Mac had goat potential & talent but I think the playoff struggles & those back spasms & those knee & shoulder injuries slowed him down…. On top that his prime was like 2001-2005 in my opinion because of those injuries…. I wish he didn’t get hurt & would made a deep playoff run or squeaked out one title in Houston when he was healthy though
Great list, but I would personally switch Gervin and ray allen, as well as harden and Clyde drexler
Gervin was more consistent scorer. Ray was streaky at times.
Clyde played defense. Did u look at how Milwaukee won besides Giannis. IT was The defense.
@@ThePasterio yea that why I have Clyde ahead of harden, he actually played defence and won a ring, something harden hasn’t done yet.
@@daddydiesel2748 Clyde doesnt have a MVP, 6 time all nba first team, 3 back to back scoring titles, assist title and his averages for his career are better
@@isotime2857 true but Clyde has a ring and was a better defender. But I don’t have a problem if you rank harden above Clyde because of his accolades and averages
Rip Klay Thompson, at least mention him
I was waiting for klay Thompson this list was good until he left klay off absolutely terrible snub
Perfect video
I modeled my game after T Mac. I got good enough to make the High School team off that style.
10:35🤣😂
Noti gang
IMO TOP 10 SG OF ALL TIME
(NON-ACTIVE PLAYERS ONLY)
1. MICHAEL JORDAN
2. KOBE BRYANT
3. DWYANE WADE
4. ALLEN IVERSON
5. CLYDE DREXLER
6. GEORGE GERVIN
7. RAY ALLEN
8. REGGIE MILLER
9. TRACY MCGRADY
10. SAM JONES
HM: MANU GINOBILI, JOE DUMARS, VINCE CARTER, SIDNEY MONCRIEF, MITCH RICHMOND.
Allen Iverson was a 6'0 SG who took a horrid 76ers team to the finals yet you rank him below James Harden who BTW Is a prolific scorer but he never took a team to the finals A.I 76ers also gave lakers their lone lost in the 01 post season
Iverson had decent help. With dikembe and aaron mickie also Eric snow and Tyrone hill raja hill including larry brown as coach. So it wasn't Iverson only on the team. But offensively they were bad
@@tj5180 the lakers dominated them offensively those players didn't do shit on defense
@@djdelo5867 they were ranked as a top defensive that season but they werent bad as Iverson fans claim they were.
@@tj5180 they still didn't do shit I the playoffs and I'm not an Iverson fan I'm a fan of greatness didn't you see the second part about james harden who is rn the best SG without debate
Switch AI and Harden on that one playoff run the exact same outcome would happen lol
Great work and I almost agree with you except I will put Reggie higher than Rayray (leadership and clutch and I think, like a lot off old guy, that he is really underrated!!! ) and Harden can't be this higher for me... TMac also questionable
Thanks for this video!
100% agree
I feel Klay Thompson needs some consideration for this list, I don’t know if I would actually put him here over these guys, but I feel he’s in that kinda tier with:
Ray Allen
Reggie Miller
Tracy McGrady
Vince Carter
Sidney Moncrief
Joe Dumars
He’s above all over them except Dumars allen(maybe) and Sidney Moncrief
He's a hm. How can u forget manu ?
& Where's Dr. J?
@@king-ghost1027 lmfao everybody knows he’s a SF
@@tmac731 lol thought I seen him labeled as a sg couple times
Respect
first of all, about Reggie Miller, we got people watching and into the game that were either not ALIVE during the peak of Reggie's career but people that were and are still here to talk about it, theyll all tell you something similar. he wasnt great on defense but he was above average. he had a tremendous basketball iq, he was tenacious and tough as they come and he was the most clutch player in the league aside from MJ but even there you'd have an arguement to say it was Miller. this man wasn't just an all time great when it came to shooting, nah, this man would rattle off 12 three pointers in 2 quarters and be 12/15 from behind the arc with the 12 coming on a streak of consecutive 3s with no misses. him and Ray Allen are very similar players as far as the style of their game and their beautiful jump shots. reggie was just ugly so people dont realize LMAO . you gotta remember that there was NO ONE on those eastern conference finals games against the bulls aside from Mark Jackson who was an all time great playmakers but he didnt have a big man to just feed the ball to or to open up shots for him on a high level. you literally had the 2 best players in the league on the same team with the 90s bulls. my boy Reggie is a killer but he might not even be the best basketball player in his immediate family as his sister was a superstar.
My only question is, how can you penalize AI for lack of playoff success then have Harden 2 spots above him with even less playoff success and worse defense.
You gotta do all positions now
I agree with most of the list. But Vinsanity needs to be on the list over T-Mac!
Jordan, Kobe, Wade, AI, and Drexler
Any player on a top 10 list, even at #10 is ranked really high....there are probably a hundred amazing shooting guards since the history of the league in the mid 40's.. I know I can name a ton of them all elite scorers at their peaks...
Since I prefer mostly oldschool, here's 10 often forgotten SGs I consider way up there:
Jerry West (One of the best shooters throughout the 60's and early 70's)
Earl Monroe (Loved the Pearl he was flashy and fun to watch, especially with the Bullets)
David Thompson (Rediculous talent, MJ before MJ pretty much)
Charlie Scott (elite scorer on bad Suns teams till he got to Boston and helped them win another title)
Sam Jones (the ultimate clutch shooter in the Finals!)
Hal Greer (Another great clutch shooter)
Phil Chenier (before injury he was one of the best shooting guards of the 70's, nice replacement to the Pearl in Washington)
Paul Westphal (Elite scoring guard for the Suns in the late 70's, took them to the Finals once and got close a few more times)
Pete Maravich (stuck on bad teams unfortunately, but he could do it all offensively)
Andrew Toney (ask the Celtics in the early 80's about him lol)
I don’t know where he can rank jerry west but he should be top 10
Glad someone else said it.
I thought West was considered a point? Dunno...
1.mihael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. George gervin
4. Allen Iverson
5. Dwyane Wade
6. Reggie Miller
7. Earl Monroe
8. Clyde drexler
9. Vince Carter
10.jerry West
I'm not going to talk about the rankings, but my top 10 included Pete Maravich, Sam Jones and Joe Dumars, instead of Gervin, McGrady and Iverson. Allen Iverson was 11th on my list of best point guards, I thought that was his primary position.
Wish u did a honorable mentions
My top 10 in order
1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Harden (I know very controversial)
4. Wade
5. Clyde
6. A.I
7. Ice man
8. Ray
9. Klay
10. T-Mac
Honorable mentions: David Thompson, Sid Moncrief, Joe D, Reggie, and Mitch Richmond
Nope. Wade is 3. It’s not controversial
@@jasonmoukala8909 I feel that, but harden for sure the 3rd best shooting guard though, an mvp, better scorer, shooter, playmaker, handles, just a better player, simple!
I don't get how a f****** Flopper who averages 11 free throws a game wins MVP and without free throws he averages 24 points...
BUT, when Dwyane Wade scored with actual talent and actual scoring ability and averages 30 + points but doesn't win the MVP, and not to mention Dwyane Wade actually led HIS team to the championship within ONLY 3 FUCKIN YEARS IN THE NBA!!!!
Meanwhile, James Harden never lead his TEAM(S) to shit and never will.
How old are you?
I’d give harden a nod for 4th greatest shooting guard but putting him at 3 with zero rings is just not right. Dwade was a monster.
You need a top 10 6th man of the year 🙏🔥💯
I’m so mad I didn’t see Klay in this list
Miller BETTER than Ray Allen...Better Leader, Better Playoff Performances, Better Clutch Shooter & has More ALL NBA's than Allen...
What happened to earl the pearl, David Thompson, Pete Maravich, Walt Frazier
Was Jerry West (the logo) on the PG list? If not y'all gotta kick someone. Guess I gotta go watch that.
if Grant Hill didn't get injured he would be on this list
He wasn't a shooting guard. He played small forward mostly but if he was healthy. He would have been top 10 at SF all time
Tracy a good scorer only for 3 quarters 🤧
TMac played on some bad Orlando teams not much help but either way he shouldve been good enough to get them to atleast the 2nd round
can James Harden even make it to the Finals first before we put him in the top 5. Like cmon brother
He was facing a warriors team while having an injured team stfu btw he made the finals before causal
Jerry west the logo
Clyde over iverson that’s insane
Jordan, Ai and Kobe are automatic top 3 imo. No other SG was as skilled as those 3
@@joestuehmer7967 stay off the weeeeeeed
I would put drexler over harden, gervin over AI and dumars over mcgrady
You can have harden win a chip as a number one option can’t say the same thing about Drexler

Not having allay on this list is Criminal
I agree he’s top 10
Yeah, I agree the G.O.A.T for me is Air Jordan or MJ but may I comment please if AI and Harden shall be interchange? Hehee! 🙏😁🤔
T-Mac went to the Finals with San Antonio when they lost to Miami.

Clyde went to two finals
@@valorreigns9825 so did iverson, against the 3 peat lakers, and if i recall he managed to win a game against them. wasn't a sweep. he was the entire offense of that philly squad. in todays era if he was in his 20s, he'd probably still go for 30-35 no problem.
@@xSKYKILLAx yeah on like 30 percent shooting
Clyde is better Casuals don't know about him.
@@xSKYKILLAx Iverson went to 1 finals. Clyde went to three and 2 as the first option. And AI was inefficient even by 2000s standards.

Excellent list. I would move harden to number 6 though. Moving Iverson to the top 5.
I personally have Gervin over AI and West as the 3rd greatest SG AT.
Garvin has no case to be top 3 west was better but he played pg mostly
@@tj5180 ow. Sorry. I think it's an error in punctuation. I mean, I have West as the 3rd best SG AT while having Gervin over AI.

T-Mac 6-7 y’all crazy 😭😭🐐
I like your series Mustard, but think you are a little disrespectful to players who came before 1985 (perhaps before your time), and while I agree that players and the league has gotten better and better (greater athleticism and skill sets), there have always been players who pushed the envelope and played ahead of their time. One thing I have found interesting is to trace player development at different positions (and different sizes) over the course of NBA history. One thing I noticed is that all the really great guards prior to George Gervin and David Thompson (mid-70's) were pretty much combo guards who possessed the greatest perimeter skill sets of their time, and one of the very best all around, 2-way guards that you left out was Walt Frazier, who co-led the Knicks to 2 out 3 titles (and 6 straight EC finals) and resembled the IT led Pistons in certain ways. Another wizard who came along was Pete Maravich, though he didn't play much D, wrecked his knees pretty early on, and never really played for a contender.
