veritas · 09-12-2016, 08:02 PM

Top PG ever. Top 5 all time.

uh-oh · 09-12-2016, 08:10 PM

top 5 pg

not top 5 all time

veritas · 09-12-2016, 08:13 PM

Wrong.

Top pg

Top 5 all time.

If you were to craft your all time great team....five guys....Stockton is the point guard. Top 5.

lamo dusnt work like sat idiyote

Saint · 09-12-2016, 08:44 PM

Well, for starters, this is your team:
Lebron James-Point Forward
Michael Jordan-Shooting Guard
Kevin Durant-Small Forward
Tim Duncan-Power Forward/Center
Hakeen Olajuwon-Power Forward/Center

From their MVP or best statistical seasons

And your coach is Gregg Popovich.

Certain · 09-12-2016, 08:46 PM

Gone at choosing Kevin Durant over Magic Johnson or Larry Bird (or Julius Erving or Oscar Robertson). What are you, 16?

veritas · 09-12-2016, 08:55 PM

See....you all can't even agree. Dead at LeBron as point guard. Smh

Watch that first video...even magic says stockton was the perfect point guard.

Provide assissts......yeah he is the all time leader....by light years lol

Play d....yeah he is the all time steals leader.....by light years lol..

Who else can say they are the all time leader in 2 tier 1 categories?

Just admit you are racist against him. I will allow that as a valid reason to not choose him.

Mr. J · 09-12-2016, 08:55 PM

Pete Maravich though..

Certain · 09-12-2016, 08:59 PM

Nah, I think we all agree that Magic Johnson was the best point guard.

But magic in that video said in stockton was the best.

Good night certain.

I mean good night, certain.

Adonis · 09-12-2016, 09:01 PM

I wouldn't rank him above magic Johnson, pg FYI or Jason kidd for his defense as well as all around game. I also would take Westbrook and curry over him easy. Payton is right there too, he's borderline top 5, but probably yes, top 5pg all time.

Would he make the starting 5 all time? Depends on what you surround him with i.e the team needs.

veritas · 09-12-2016, 09:08 PM

What are the point guards responsible for?

veritas · 09-12-2016, 09:11 PM

Adonis I see you quoting Allen iverson...so you are no longer judged competent to be in this thread.

Uhoh admits racism against stockton. He is allowed to quality remain.

Certain says magic is the greatest but magic says stockton is. Limxkwodjjwjwiwjdjfjjwieif8fi. Certain...admit you are racist against stockton and I will respect your reasoning. Fair?

He'd have defensive problems at a high level though. Stockton grabbed a lot of steals because he had quick hands but he was by no means a ball stopper, especially in a league like this where the Pg most teams will have will likely be someone like Magic or Isiah Thomas or Steve Nash. He couldn't guard any of them.

Stockton WAS NEVER ESPECIALLY FAST. He was FUNDAMENTALLY GREAT. Very good shooter, high basketball IQ, basketball savvy. Gary Payton specifically had trouble guarding him because he had to fight through pick after pick after pick Stockton would call for. He WOULD NEVER EVER be allowed to dominate the ball like that on the same floor as Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, the Utah Jazz was Stockton dribbling around, penetrating and dishing, running the pick and roll with Malone, taking jumpers. That is not going down on the same floor with Michael Jordan.. etc. So if he isn't going to bring that offensively, you're better off finding a more athletic guard who can give you more on the defensive end of the floor.

So your argument is that he basically was just amazing at what a point guard is supposed to do....but he is not athletic enough? Ok cool.
