SPIN: Your Top 10 Shooting Guards IN THEIR PRIMES

[Wacky D]

out of those types of guards:

ray allen >>> reggie miller >>> klay thompson

none of them deserve to be on these lists tho

 

[STVNTMAN]

Dude's 5th year in the league, he's about there.

There's just not too many SG's on most cats' lists (in their primes) can do something like this:

Great shooter but still inconsistent
Average playmaker
Doesn't rebound

If you wanted to list a SG that plays D and can get hot who barely hit his prime shoulda said Jimmy

 

[Shadow King]

Video footage/numbers of course apply to some of these dudes of yesterday
Jordan
Kobe
Wade
West*
Drexler
Iverson
McGrady
Iceman
VC
Pistol*
Ray

West and Maravich don't seem to have distinctive positions or traits that tilt them to either guard position which is why they got asterisks.

vince carter is a tough rank.

i wanted to put him in.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

vince carter is a tough rank.

i wanted to put him in.

Who do you have above him?

Edit: I would take prime vince Carter over current James harden without question.

[Shadow King]

Wasn't he primarily used as PG though in Atlanta next to Lou Hudson? His passing was just as much of an asset as his shooting

 

[Draje]

nikkas need to get real with putting AI over Wade.

Wade is, at the very worst, just as good as Iverson offensively (While also being much less selfish overall) and much better defensively.

Act like Wade wouldn't carve up Ray Allen and the 2001 Bucks on some 30 PPG on 50% shooting rather than needing to be bailed out by Mutumbo anchoring your defense.

Wade's best season shyts on Iverson (Doubly so when adding in defense, leadership, and playoff numbers) and he's more successful than Iverson.

I might take Iverson slightly over d-wade offensively but as overall players it's not really close

Prime for prime, Bean's better than everyone not named Jordan, I realise its your opinion but you clearly have some bias. Wade is a comfortable 3rd too but you're obvs bugging.

10. Reggie Miller

 

[Wacky D]

Imagine thinking Iverson was better than Prime Wade, let alone Kobe freaking Bryant.

T-Mac better than Prime Wade? Like Wade wasn't carving up top tier defenses, in the playoffs when it mattered, while T-Mac was getting stomped lmao

you do realize that wade played on much better teams than t-mac right?

this was always the knock against kobe too.
