OVER THE WEEKEND ME COMMON, NO I.D., TYRONE AND AMAR’E WERE HAVING A CONVO ABOUT THE ALL-TIME TOP 5 NBA POINT GAURDS EVER!!!!!!! THIS CONVERSATION LASTED ABOUT A HOUR LOL!!! SO I SAID IMA SEE WHAT MY LIFERS SAY. THIS IS WHAT WE CAME UP WITH:
1. MAGIC JOHNSON
2. JOHN STOCKTON
3. GARY “THE GLOVE” PAYTON
4. PENNY HARDAWAY: WHO MANY DON’T EVEN KNOW WAS THE POINT (I.E. BOW WOW)
5.ISIAH THOMAS
NOW YOU GIVE ME YOURS TALK TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Countlessskillz
1. Magic Jonhson
2. Nate ” Tiny” ARCHIEBALL
3. Oscar Robinson
4. Bob Cousy
5. K.C Jones
Last but not least Pee Wee Kirklan- All time Legend-even though he never played PRO!!
Miss_Jackson23
Magic – Payton – Isiah Thomas – Steve Nash – Stockton
I don’t have them in any particular order but those would be my picks
Miss_Jackson23
Ok I have to add Penny up there…..that dude was nice….so i’m breaking the rule and i have a top 6 LOL
mlewjr
Magic, Stockton, Mark Jackson (# don’t lie), Isiah, Penny (The things he did w/ Orlando. WOW)
Seoul
1. Magic Johnson (I mean if i have to explain this one, you should be watching soccer instead)
2. John Stockton (Check the record books my friend)
3. Isaiah “Zeke” Thomas (Zeke from Cabin Creek…if he was only 6 inches taller…it would have been a wrap.)
4. Steve Nash (You dont even have to check the records…check his last game.)
5. Jason Kidd (He came to New Jersey and took them to the Finals…oh yeah not to mention his job in dallas, and phoenix)
Myles
How yall got GP over Isiah Thomas? Matta fact, you can probably put Steve Nash and J. Kidd before Gary Payton. GP was cold, but DEF NOT in top 5 of all time. And Penny didn’t even play long enough to be considered. After that injury he was thru. He was aiight when he came in the league, but he was just a modern poor mans Magic Johnson.
TraV
1) Stockton go first just cause he brought the same productivity every night for 18 years he had the longevity that the others didn’t and he averaged 10 assist his last year at 40!
2) Magic he was unguardable at his position and he made every person on the court better and 5 rings dont lie. Only reason he second because he tried the comback 4 no reason.
3) Gary Payton was the best point guard I had seen on both ends of the floor. He could score 20 dish out 9 assist and get 2 steals and still step up and guard the best player on the floor(Jordan)
4) Jason Kidd is what every point guard should be. He has the size speed and court vision that makes the average players look good(Nets). He also shows that at his age he refined his game and added a jump shot which makes him still a treat on the floor and he rebounds at his position.
5) Oscar Robinson I never seen him play but his stats have to be respected in the way that its very difficult for players to get triple doubles and he averaged that for a season plus he did it in an era thats is forgetten about their stats. (Wilt averaged 50 and 20 for a season and people say Mike the best or Shaq the most dominate ever?)

lot of yaw dont know basjetball….JD u got penny in the top 5 when he was injued his whole career smh. Gp is the greatest defensive pg but not top 5.(penny would be top 5 if he never were injured)…
1. “Greatness is defined by championships”- MJ…. with that said Magic is the greatest pg EVER. Him and bird saved the nba. he played every position and he is the greatest passer the nba has ever seen. He also won 5 championships…. nuff said
2. the big O… if u dont know who that is u dont know bball. Averaged a triple double over 5 SEASONS…. that will nvr be done again he also won a ring wit kareem
3. Johnstockon holds assist record that robably wont ever be broken and holds the all time steal record
4 isiah rhomas … was a dominat scoring pg.. won bac to bac titiles wit the pitsons
5 jason kidd… second greatest psser ever . he just recored his 106th tripple doublle couple days ago..
3 and 4 are interchangable
Mrz.LunchMoney
Ok, we forgot about John Stockton. He was consistent for over 20 years in stats period! So are we judging off popularity or numbers? Numbers never lie: )

Everybody got a good list but u can see the constants are Magic and Stockton so they the best
IamSpiffy
1. Magic Johnson-Transcended the Point guard position. Played all 5 positions and made it cool to be a big guard that can handle the rock. Made the Lakers a Dynasty and won multiple championships.
2. John Stockton-Passed Magic and become the NBA’s alltime assist man. He and Karl Malone set the standard for the pick and roll offense that is often duplicated in today’s game. Reached finals twice if i’m not mistaken and would have won had he not played in Jordan’s era.
3. Oscar Robertson-Incredible passer and scorer. And a underappreciated defender. Great leader on the floor as well
4. Isiah Thomas-Great Leader, could score many ways. Drive past you, pull up and shoot over you, and beat almost everyone off the dribble. Helped create “the bad boy” atmosphere in Detroit. Remember for about his 1st 6th seasons MJ couldn’t get pass Isiah and the pistons. To bad he got snubbed on the “Dream Team”
5. Jason Kidd- A walking triple double! Wasn’t considered a good shooter when he 1st entered the league but has turned himself into a nice stand still shooter. Evidence by his 3pt shooting percentage this year. I like J. Kidd cause he can be the best player on the floor w/out even having to take a shot. He can guard the point or shooting guard, and is has high basketball IQ.
*Penny Hardaway-Cmon son like Tyrone say “that ain’t it” don’t get me wrong Penny was a great player but fact is he only made it the finals one year w/ the Magic w/ a young Shaq by his side. And his career was really cut short by all the injuries. Had he not gotten injured MCL or ACL forgot which one, Penny probably could of gone done as top 5 point guards off all time. But if you look at the stats and overall impact he just doesn’t measure up to the rest of the competition.
@ibeldot
jd your list was pretty good…. I would just add nash somewhere.
prince917
jason kidd
steve nash

walt frazier
john stockton

I couldnt list john stockton because for years I watched kj, tim hardaway, and gp bust his ass.
lucky8200
Iverson are you serious.
Daniel J. Mays
First Off To All Of You Cats Saying Allen Iverson I Can Digg That Because That’s My Hands Down FAVORITE Player Of All Time And Still Is My Favorite Player Today But, He’s Not In The Top 5 Nor Do I Feel Top 10 List Of Point Guards. I Do Believe He Is Very Much So A Underrated Passer Though I May Add. Besides His Natural Position Is Shooting Guard Anyways He’s Just Hell-A-Short LOL….Now On To Me List
1. Magic Johnson
2. John Stockton
3. Oscar Robinson
4. Isiah Thomas
5. Jason Kidd/Steve Nash (Toss Up It Could Go To Either Or)
This List Is Actually Hard To List Because You Have To Leave Off Players Like Nate “Tiny” Archibald, Penny Hardaway Etc. But I Feel This List Can’t Really Be Touched. I Didn’t Mention Gary Payton Because When I Think Of Point Guard The First Thing That Comes To Mind Is Assists And Getting Your Team Involved Sure Gary Did That But That’s Not What He Was Really Known For, He Was Known For That DEFENSE That’s Why They Call Him The Glove But He Still Is On My Top 10 – 15 List Though! A Point Guard Needs To Be Able To Dominate The Ball, Be The Leader And Get His Teams Involved And I Feel All Of The People On My List Have Done That SUCCESSFULLY!

Penny Hardaway?! You’ve got to be kidding me. When he was HEALTHY for 3-5 years in his career, he played at a high level. But to be an all-time great, you gotta ball for at LEAST 10 years consistently at a very high level to deserve mention. With that said….
1. Earvin “Magic” Johnson – We all know his contribution to the game, so no explanation necessary.
2. Oscar “Big O” Robertson – Averaged a triple double for his first FIVE seasons. Think about that… 30ppg, 10rebs, 10assts, for FIVE seasons. Who does that?!
3. Isaiah “Zeke” Thomas – How many players can say they won TWO rings in the late 80s while beating Jordan, Bird, and Magic in succession to earn those rings?
4. Gary “Da Glove” Payton – Anyone who has ever played bball at a high level will tell you, to score and defend at a high level CONSISTENTLY is no easy task. That is why defensive specialists normally focus strictly on defense, or players only stick the best opposing player in short spurts. The Glove was scoring, passing, and defending at high levels every night.
5. Jason Kidd – One of the purest PG’s the game has ever seen. People who remember Kidd in his early days for the Mavs or the Suns know Kidd was NO JOKE. And lets not forget he led the Nets… the NETS to the finals two straight seasons and should have gotten league MVP at least once.
Honorable Mention:

Penny was a great player but he got injured early in his career , to early for me to consider him one of the greatest point guards of all time . The rest of the list is good though .

4. Jerry West ( Mr.Clutch anything need to be said)
5. Tony Parker ( He doesn’t turn the ball over! DAMN NEAR AT ALL)
