Day 2 of 5 Day Series: Shooting Guards

Earl "The Pearl" Monroe aka "Jesus of North Philadelphia"

Clyde Drexler should be #3 all-time. He's better than Wade and West. I would flip Jerry West and Drexler. Probably would move AI above West as well (only cause I haven't seen Jerry West play).

How are you judging a player you admit you have no information on? Don’t say so and so was better than West, just say you don’t judge West because you never saw him play.

And maybe it’s because he’s played well beyond his prime, but I’m really in th belief that Vince carter might be the most disrespect sg and superstar of all time. Ppl forget Air Canada. I seen some jokers looking at a mix of Russell Westbrook’s greatness dunks and I told them he couldn’t yam on em like Vince and they legitimately believe and told me Vince ain’t even on Kobe’s level of dunking let alone Russell.

It's exactly because of that, well that and team success. At this point he's been a role player longer than he was a superstar, which has morphed how some folks think about Vince. But in his prime he was every bit the scorer that Iverson was and was not far off in three-point shooting than guys like Ray Allen and Reggie Miller.

I also believe his longevity should play a factor into how he's ranked. No one expected him to be playing into his mid 30's let alone be a productive player off the bench at age 41. He completely reinvented his game in order to last in the league and had the humility to embrace his status as a role player. Not many former stars can do that

I'd personally put D-Wade over West, but I ain't mad the man is the Logo.

Reggie Miller doesn't make my top 10, this man is hilariously overrated.

Reggie Miller is NOT a better basketball player than Vince Carter, Manu Ginobili, James Harden.

Earl Monroe is Black Jesus from North Philly, salute but better, more accomplished basketball players have come out since his day.

Clyde Drexler should be #3 all-time. He's better than Wade and West. I would flip Jerry West and Drexler. Probably would move AI above West as well (only cause I haven't seen Jerry West play).

Drexler ain't better than Flash.

D-Wade is more accomplished and more skilled.

Jerry West and A.I. can be hard to rank because they have several seasons where they were actually PG's, they were combo guards not true SG's.

Miller
Harden
Klay
The Pearl

I didnt rank The Logo, Ive only seen very limited youtube footage of him

Don't sleep on Ginobili. His personal numbers were sacrificed playing in San Antonio. His skill level and accolades are top 10 worthy. His influence on the game is massive too since many credit him with popularizing the euro step ans he always put in work overseas and for the Argentine national team.

Miller unanimously makes these top 10's somehow, but Ginobili is the more talented basketball player a better passer, ball handler, defender, slasher and made almost as many All-NBA teams as Miller even though he came off the bench for a large portion of his career. He is one of the craftiest players with great ball fakes, sneaky athletic, and one of the best SG passers we've seen. He is still an effective player and catching sneaky posters at age 40.

Anyone who has Wade less than 3 are just haters.

Klay and harden will surpass Reggie when it’s all said and done with their career.

Harden since he'll probably have the numbers but Klay will be difficult to say he's top 10 considering the team he plays on.
