He’s a good player
"Good" Funny. Folks swear he's overrated... but here and on Reddit I never see these kinds of ranking or comparison threads pop up for players like Wall, Dame, Kyrie, Rondo (when he was good), or any of Russ' other peers outside of Curry obviously.

These conversations are sparked because folks see the greatness whether they want to accept it or not.

You won't find an all time great player who doesn't speak highly of Russ. You won't find a teammate or coach with a negative opinion (outside of Reggie Jackson). If that doesn't speak volumes-- I don't know what else to say. :yeshrug:

Also, Walt Frazier isn’t even being brought up...

2x NBA champion, 7x All-Star, 7x All-Defense, 6x All-NBA.

He was literally the first NBA player to get his own sneaker with his Puma endorsement, one of the flyest dudes ever, and first true basketball superstars.

36 points and 19 assists in a game 7 of the NBA Finals...


A lot of these guys on here you just can’t put them over Walt...

Bumping this thread because its pissing me off someone in the triple double thread insinuated I'm hating on Brodie. I've long acknowledged I'm a stan, I can be a fan of someone and still not agree with something about them. Thats where I'm at with him and the triple double thing...

Also over a year later, let's update yall opinions on if he's a Top 10 All-Time point...

So whose out then?

I dont have a sequential order in my mind yet, gotta give it some thought but I'm definitely not as high on Jason Kidd or Isiah as others are...

For the record I agree, I've been saying Westbrook is at minimum borderline Top 10 for a couple years so it's probably solidified now for me...

Just off the top of my head i'll say Magic Oscar (if you consider him a point) Steph Stockton Kidd Zeke Paul Nash Dame and and Westbrook are in my top 10 with Gary Payton taking a spot if we are considering Oscar more of a 2 than a 1. I'll leave Jerry out the discussion since i guess he was more of a combo guard for most of his career.

My list bruh. In the grand scheme of things what separates him from Russ Paul and Payton and team success. He's been in the league for nearly a decade so longevity isn't the problem. He has the individual accolades like they do minus a scoring or assist title so the raw numbers ain't it. I can't knock those who don't have him in the top 10 but he's on MY personal list.

I think he's just outside the top 10 BUT If he's in your top 10 there is no argument from me. I think his body of work will be underrated because he doesn't have the accolades of other top 10 point guards, even tho statistically he's earned it.

No, because he doesn't do what great PGs do, which is make his teammates better and translate that into winning.

Statistically he's a monster. But he's not a great shooter, doesn't have high IQ (another requirement to be a good PG), and despite his athleticism he's not a great defender.

Fam he got a Mvp award and 2 scoring titles nikkas trippin if they think he ain’t got the accolades of other top 10 PG’s.

He without a doubt top 10 all time PG’s
