Top 5 Points Guards in the NBA Today
My Opinion of Who and Why They Are the Top 5 Point Guards Today
5. Jason Kidd
Not a great or even good scorer anymore but still year after year shows his poise in passing the ball, playing defense and being an overall floor general. He shows so many aspects that young point guards these days lack. I would have him rated alot higher than 5 but he's obviously not in his prime anymore at that he still is excellent.
4. Deron Williams
A combination of Baron Davis and Jason Kidd aka the pefect point guard. A great young guard who I just love to watch and can do it all. Just in his sophmore season in the NBA helped lead the Utah Jazz deep into the playoffs with little talent. Can shoot the jay, pass the ball, back you down, lock you down on defense and solidify the fast break. He has all the intangables and will soon be recognized as one of the best. Very impressive but lacks experience. Just wait till he's a seasoned veteran.
3. Baron Davis
Bigger, Faster, and Stronger than the rest of the point guards in the league. He leads his team in scoring, assists and steals and is just an all around smart basketball player. I love his ability to shoot the three and has a great slash to the basket. I just don't see a better scorer at the point guard position in the NBA. Could use some help at being a little less selfish but then again every team need there star. A perrenial allstar pick without a doubt and number 3 in the NBA.
2. Steve Nash
May be a surprise to many of you that he is second but i'll get into that later. Steve Nash is the best passer in the NBA . He was the 2 time should have been 3 time NBA Mvp of the league. He has lead the league in assists 3 years in a row and he can just about do it all. Smart, can shoot the 3, best passer, plays defense, and runs the fast break like a champ. He has gotten just about every accomplishment, except for an NBA championship.
1. Tony Parker
Just for the same reason Nash is number 2, Tony Parker is number 1, rings. Im sorry i had to do it but its all about how a point guard plays under pressure and i think 3 NBA rings and a championship MVP is pretty clutch. He may not put up the best numbers in the regular season but everyone can agree its not about the regular season. He just shows up in the playoffs with a vengeance. Just so fast and so calm, after this NBA championship he solidified his spot at number one for me.

Post a Commenti think aaron should be at 5 jason kidd sucks and mavericks are stupid for keeping him around
CHRIS PAUL IS THE BEST POINT GUARD IN THE LEAGUE BY A LONG SHOT
did u see rajon rondo take it to Chris Paul and Deron Williams in the last two games? how can u not have him in the top 5?!!!!
Tony parker has had some good seasons, but any guard that has duncan to pass to is going to be good. Kidd used to be on the top but is not NOW. Baron Davis is too selfish to be great at PG, Chris Paul has gotta be on there, but he gets shut down while playing D-Will, who one day will be on top of that list...he is big, durable, and a great executer. He has turned his team of par-type players into championship contenders. Steve Nash is also great, but is he still on top of the game? D-Will and CP3-#1 and 2 no doubt, then Nash, Billups or Davis, AI or Parker
deron williams is the best piont gaurd when he gets going he is hard to stop. his plays a big role in utahs offense and his court vision ihs excelent..he is the best player on the jazz and nobody can stop him runnig the pick and role
deron williams is the best piont gaurd whe he gets going he is hard to stop. his plays a big role in utahs offesne and his court vision ih excelent..
One guy you are all forgetting is Allen Iverson yes he doesn't put out as many assists but he is one of the best and I agree with the Chris Paul thing he is going to be top 10 point guards of all time along with AI.
first of all Parker is great but not better than Nash, rings or not Parker has a better team around him. Williams is better than Davis and where is Chris Paul on the list.
dont know how ya couldnt have Chauncey Billups in there, if you consider how much he has improved his game since flip saunders has been there.
to me kidd should be number one, none of these good player are close to avereging a triple double every night......and also whenever these guard play against kidd they get shut down some how....( not steve nash do ).... all around kidd is better than them even if he is older.
