Stockton payton mark price, kevin Johnson, van exel, Kenny Anderson, rod Strickland, tim hardaway. 90s had some great ones. I thought we had something with paul and deron, but these playoffs have proved me wrong. and yes im judging cp3 off one game.

What have those guys you listed won? It sure is nice to have nostalgia to make everything a rosy memory but the guys you listed haven't won shyt either for the most part.

Rose and Westbrook are identical and there are aspects like on-ball defense, rebounding, creating pace, and mid-range game where Westbrook is better at but one is looked as a superstar and one is not.

No Westbrook is better at rebounding and defense as well

ok stockton is only a hall of famer. besides nobody won a ship in the jordan era. even olajuwon won when jordan retired. watching these point guards today makes me appreciate a guy like stockton or even mark jackson more. steady the ship.i love watching russ play. but come on man, this dude has the worst shot selection known to man. once again, what point guard today do you see playing into their 40s? look at baron, arenas, and francis. we raved about those dudes. they was all out the league by 32. now tell me thats not sad.

If you love PG's that lead their team in FGA's, don't defend anyone and have zero impact after June than this is the golden era...

You're right..The "position" is extremely overrated...But things are trending towards this becoming a positionless league, so most of the arguments we had in the past are irrelevant...

The game has evolved...The terms "Point Guard" and "Center" don't mean mean anything anymore...

westbrook, d-rose, kyrie, wall, parker, paul, curry, lillard, all nba players. all star caliber- dragic, ty lawson, conley, rondo, MCW. next tier- lowry, teague, d-will, kemba, isiah thomas, jrue holiday, b jennings, bledsoe, rubio. POINT GUARD IS STACKED :stopitslime:
A lot of the guys you named aren't point guards, they're just short n1ggas that dribble the ball up the court...

This "point guard" made the all-star team in the 90s
