It was on his facebook as well.

Yeah I saw it yesterday

Tony Parker has played like shit this season. I know... he's on my fantasy team.

Mike Conley? Come on... I get that they're winning, but give me a break.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

The things is, to me at least, there isn't much to debate. I think a lot of the PGs are "tied" (if you will) for top 5. It is really nit-picking to pick some over others.

I will say that there is no way Parker is #1 though.

There's simply no way you can put Derrick Rose in the top five with his health problems. No way. No how.

My top five (in no order) would be:

Paul
Westbrook
Lillard
Curry

And then maybe either Wall or Irving. Parker has no played that well. Rose can't stay in the lineup. Conley is a good player, but not a star.

Listen, if I am doing a top 5 dame is in it easily. With that said it is actually a fairly arbitrary number that we have all just accepted because it has been said forever. If their list went to 6 I can almost guarantee that Dame is on both of them.

So boo hoo that some think he is top 6 vs top 5. Doesn't matter one iota to me and shouldn't to anyone else except dame who is using it as fuel and that is great.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Nate himself listed 6 players who have a shot at his top 5 which is what I am getting at. This is a 6 or 7 PG race for top 5 and if you ask 10 people their order I bet you get at least 8 different responses.

Ha! I hope Dame sees that.

Whether the list is right or wrong, that's how Dame rolls (motivates).

He did see it. It was him that started the tweet

Ahahahaha!

I've been an avid NBA fan since the mid 70s. I can't recall a time with more quality point guards in the league. It used to be the thinnest position, now it's one of the deepest.

And nobody has even mentioned the leader in APG!

For sure! I think to Blazers fans it still feels "thin" because we went so long without a quality PG. But they are literally (okay, not literally) growing on trees and can be had for a dime a dozen.

Hmmmm, the early 90's had some damn good ones all at once.

Strickland, Kenny Johnson, Stockton, Magic Johnson, I can't remember the dude in Sac which was part of Run DMC, Isaiah Thomas, Mark Price, Scott Skiles. I know I'm forgetting some too

Tim Hardaway?

Yep!!!!!!

Conley's shooting 45% from 3. The guy who should also be really pissed is Kyle Lowry who may start as an All Star this year. Add Teague to list of top PGs too.

It was Run TMC and it was in Golden State.

 

[KingSpeed]

And don't forget Porter, mags.

 

[magnifier661]

Thanks, so it proves that the early 90's probably had the most insane PG strength in the league. I remembered almost every team had an all star worthy PG

I thought I put him?!?! Wtf?!
