Funny what a difference two years makes. Isaiah Thomas went from 28.9 ppg to just 8.1. It's tough for guys his size to stay in the league when they lose their athleticism. He could be out of the NBA after this season unless he has a great year.

Reminds me of Iverson. I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. Once Iverson lost his insane speed, he didn't have anything to fall back on. He was just a 5'11 shooting guard with a terrible jumpshot and not much of a passing game.

Why? Its not like the Clippers ever won anything. Chris Paul might be the more well-rounded player, but it doesn't matter. If Curry can make 5 three-pointers per game on 45% shooting, that's ultimately more valuable.

Let's also not forget the fact that CP3 offers more offensively as well as defensively. 7-time first team defense as well as being named on the 2nd team twice. People only rate players based on championships these days which is a shame. I guess Robert Horry 7-time champ is a legend, huh?

lordaris69 Your thinking is a bit dated. The current point guard is more of a shooter for most teams and less a passer...the Iverson type of PG. The more successful teams are relying on getting and making 3 pointers more. Kidd, Stockton, Cousy, etc. would be less valuable the way the league plays now.

???? Stockton was a career 39% three point shooter at a time when there were few high volume shooters hitting more than 35%. Stockton would be more valuable today than he was in his time. Kidd by the time he was in his 30s was a decent 3 point shooter and finished his career at 35%.They grew up in a time when the shot didn't exist or was largely ignored. To act like they couldn't have been a good shooters when they were at a minimum decent shooters by today's standards is disingenuous. As a fan of the Thunder, I can tell you I would have loved to have had a Russell Westbrook that shot 35% from deep. As for Cousy we have no idea what he would have done with a 3 point line. Maybe he would have been even better with the better spacing on the floor. Maybe he was a great shooter from 25 feet but without the incentive of an extra point there was no use for the shot. We have no idea what he would have shot. It's like asking what Babe Ruth would have done with a modern day training regiment.

Seeing Cousy make umpteen consecutive free throws as an old man in the movie Blue Chips makes me think he would have adapted his shooting just fine. I think athleticism and size would be his issues.

it bugs me that Curry and Westbrook are considered point guards. they're not. they're shooting guards who happen to be great passers. same goes for Rose, Isaiah, Harden, Lowry, etc. the only true point guards left in the league are Rondo, Rubio, and CP3. maybe Wall.

The point guard is usually the player who brings the ball up court. Curry and especially Westbrook definitely do that. The game has changed and the PGs are shooting more and passing less. There are very few pass first PGs anymore...Rondo comes to mind.

This list was from 2016. It has now been updated with a 2025 list that is much more accurate.

Personally, I'd put Curry above Magic. But Magic may have been a better point guard in that he was more of a facilitator than Curry.

How so? His peers all praise him. Gary Payton even says Stockton was better than him. His stats don't lie. He and Michael Jordan were the only guards to routinely to shoot above 50%.

I get it, he was short and white. But he's the all-time assists leader while having only one real option to pass to (aside from Hornacek's brief run). And Karl Malone was one-dimensional as can be. Everyone knew the two plays they were going to run and he still executed it over and over again against taller, quicker guys.
