[Wacky D]

Best 3-4 years:

1. Magic
2. Robertson
3. Curry
4. Thomas
5. CP3
6. Westbrook
7. Payton
8. Frazier
9. Johnson
10. Stockton

hm - Nash, Kidd, Arenas

This was harder than I thought, could change every hour tbh since outside of Magic they're not too far apart from one another

whose #9?

and yea, this list is hard. and it changes everytime i think about it too.

im bout to go edit my chit now. lol.

 

[resurrection]

Penny Hardaway gotta be on there somewhere right?

 

[BaldingSoHard]

My top 10 (as in guys I've actually seen play)

10. Chauncey Billups
9. Penny Hardaway
8. Gilbert Arenas
7. Steve Nash
6. Kevin Johnson
5. Russell Westbrook
4. Jason Kidd
3. Chris Paul
2. Steph Curry
1. Magic

Intentionally left Gary Payton off cause I just don't like the dude.

 

[Maximus]

Magic
Oscar
Kevin Johnson
Zeke
Westbrook
Glove
Chris Paul
Stockton
Kidd
Nate "Tiny" Archibald

If Steph can put together another season like this one, I'll rank him in the top four.

I'm just going to go by players I've seen myself over the years and just their primes.

10. Gary Payton
9. Chris Paul
8. Steph Curry
7. Chauncy Billups
6. Kevin Johnson
5. Jason Kidd
4. Isaiah Thomas
3. Russell Westbrook
2. Allen Iverson
1. Magic Johnson

Kidd's prime is not better than any of those players you listed.

Nah, as a Nets fan, Jason Kidd singlehandedly made turned a lottery team into Playoff contenders. His impact is way bigger than the numbers he put up on the floor. Plus his defense was very good for a point guard.

Penny Hardaway gotta be on there somewhere right?

He shouldn't. In his best years, he averaged 21 and 7 which is great but not top 10 worthy.

He wasn't even the best Hardway (who is being slept on in this thread) in the league.

 

[Manuel Hot Pepper Lopez]

Strictly speaking on the ones I watched in their prime, no highlights

1. Penny
2. The Glove
3. Kidd
4. Rose
5. Stockton
6. Nash
7. Curry (better SG than PG to me)
8. Tim Hardaway
9. Westbrook (same as Curry)
10. Rod Strickland

Yeah, this is one of the most embellished points centered around the impact he had. If Marbury wasn't traded to Phoenix, the Nets would've been a better team (than they were with Kidd). Injuries fukked the Nets in 2001. Marbury with that that 2002 squad would've had a realistic chance at taking a few games off the Lakers in the Finals.

If Marbury had stayed in NJ, he would've probably been looked at as a top 5 PG of all time.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I'd go something like:

1a) Magic
1b) Curry

CP3, Westbrook, Zeke, Nash, Payton, Penny, O in the next bracket
Cousy, Tiny, Walt, Stockton, KJ, Parker, Chauncey, Tim, Marbury, Pistol Pete in the next bracket

 

[Cyber]

whose #9?

Kevin Johnson, dude had a short career but in his prime he was a very efficient 20/10 player

 

[ItzDaKiing]

Magic
Zeke
Curry
CP3
Bestbrook
Payton
Penny
Stockton
Nash
Parker

This is only based.off who.I've seen play.

And was the big O really a PG or jus a SF masquerading as a point guard like LeBron

 

[ItzDaKiing]

Magic
Oscar
Kevin Johnson
Zeke
Westbrook
Glove
Chris Paul
Stockton
Kidd
Nate "Tiny" Archibald

If Steph can put together another season like this one, I'll rank him in the top four.

So how u got westbrook ad.cp3 but no curry? When.he has.already eclipsed them.

Hol up, nikkas better start mentioning Marbury in this bytch.

My bad, I saw curry at #1 and just ignored the rest of that post.
