You misspelled gourd.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Well I had a poll to this thread. I don't know what happend.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You took too long so the poll died of gourdom.

 

[Denny Crane]

Magic.

 

[MickZagger]

True point? Stockton.

 

[magnifier661]

Stockton is the best. Oscar was a freak and definitely up there. Also magic too

 

[BBert]

No fucking way 'Elbows' Stockton was better than The Big O.

Maybe you should Take a break from your honeymoon 'activities' and let some blood back into your giant cranium.

 

[Denny Crane]

Magic.

The guy won 5 titles. He wasn't a 30 PPG scorer like Big O, but the league's pace was a lot faster back then and Magic had stellar teammates to take shots. Big O took 2x as many shots per game.

Magic is quite the anomaly to me. The dude is like lbj. He had the ability to play all 5 positions. I don't see him as a pg per say. I just call him am amazing basketball player

Magic Johnson eclipses all other PG's.

IMO, he was also the best guard ever.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Magic. Hated him, but respected him. He was show time. He made them all look good, and took over scoring whenever they needed it. He was all about winning

 

[BBert]

What a jerk!!!!!

Yeah, I know. I hated Stockton/Malone. Neither were worth a crap without the other, and they were both dirty ass players.

Oh, you meant me.

 

[oldguy]

It's Magic for me, and it's not close.

Go Blazers

 

[KingSpeed]

Magic but it is close. Stockton was stellar on both sides of the court.

Stockton all time leader in assist and steals. He's had 5 of the top 6 assist seasons of all time. Look at his stats. Insane. Sure, he couldn't beat Jordan but either could Magic.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Magic or big O.

Stockton, payton and kidd were all great too

No Steve Nash or Isaiah Thomas? How cum?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

^ eww

 

[blue9]

No Steve Nash?

Really?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Really?

Well ya know I have heard Steve Nash name mentioned with Bob Cousy and Jerry West before.

 

[NOVoodoo]

No Steve Nash or Isaiah Thomas? How cum?

Nash should at least be mentioned in the "top ten" conversation but not in the "greatest of all-time" discussions. A statistically prolific, system-oriented point guard that played no defense?

He has the MVP's to his name, but I think most people take his MVP's with a grain of salt when looking at his legacy. Realistically, Kidd should have more MVP's than Nash. It's almost as if Nash's MVP's were make-up calls for the media completely fucking up the 2002 MVP voting for Jason Kidd. That's probably the most blatant MVP oversight of the modern era, and even in 2003, Kidd had a better case for the MVP than Nash did either of his seasons.

It's almost like Kidd paved the way for Nash to get the MVP's that Kidd truly deserved.

 

[blue9]

Only playing one side of the floor shouldn't even get you Top 10 mention, IMO. He's great at what he does (did?), but he's not Top 10. I don't think anybody would argue that Rondo is Top 10, and he's a better basketball player than Nash ever was.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Depends on what you want or need from a PG. The Big O was probably the most complete and brought the most overall value to a team. If you want pure PG skills I can see Stockton. If you want a watered down mixture of the two who is more versatile and a match up problem them you might say Magic.

 

[Sinobas]

If I were putting together an all-time great NBA team that would actually play, I'd really consider Steve Nash for the starting PG position, because on a good team you'd really want a great floor general and shooter, and Nash is one of the best of all time in those catagories. But there have been so many good PGs in league history.

Stockton had some great shooting years as well
