If we’re going off overall resume and not peak, Deron I don’t think is even a top 10 guard

Steph
Kobe
Wade
Harden
CP3
Nash
Kidd
AI
Westbrook
SGA
Dame
Kyrie
Ray
Parker

Off top of my head all did more
Deron was a true PG.
Let's look at the overall resume.

Only parker, kidd, cp3 can talk about being better PGa

Harden is a point guard. Should be him vs CP3 for 2nd team.

Giannis vs Duncan isn't really tricky since 90% of Duncan's career still happened after 1999, and he's viewed as someone in the top 5-7 GOAT conversation.

Jokic vs Shaq is more "interesting" since we're omitting the better half of Shaq's career ('92-'99). So basically Shaq's 4 title seasons vs Jokic's 6 to 7 great to monsterous individual seasons

Dirk over Garnett is interesting as well, but i get it. The early 00s was basically a 2-man debate between Duncan vs KG. Duncan basically left him in the dust and then Dirk sneakily got in the convo for #2 without there ever being a direct ongoing comparison with KG like there was with KG/Duncan. Dirk vs KG seemed to pick up only happen after 2011... since the stigma on Dirk was he was a p*ssy, until he wasn't (2011) and then you had to reframe the entire narrative about him.

Dirk is not better than KG. I dont think its a real debate.

The category for this list wasn’t true PG, it was just guard

If you want to argue he was a better player/better floor general then some of those guys at his peak cool but he just didn’t accomplish more overall :manny:

He was done as an elite player by like 28

Dirk arguably has a better overall resume, one of the all-time GOAT postseason runs, and used to work KG more often than not whenever they matched up

KG is the better all-around player obviously so if you prefer him cool but "dont think its a real debate"? Nah you buggin

He has no MVPs or rings. I can’t see him 1st team. He doesn’t have any notable accomplishments. There’s nothing legendary about CP3
Doesn't needmvos or rings.
He was literally the best PG in the game with cp3 for a 5-6 year run.
