10) Klay Thompson- “Killa” Klay is a great 2 way player. He
is almost a lockown defender and a terrific catch and shooter. I really like
when he handles the playmaking for GSW but honestly with guys like Steph Curry
and Iggy you don’t need him to do it.
9) James Harden-I once considered him to be overrated. James
is an incredibly crafty shooting guard. I love the fact that he got an MVP last
season.
8) Reggie Miller- Miller was an incredible 3 point marksman
and a good defender also. I wonder who would win a 3 point shootout between
Reggie, R. Allen, and K. Thompson.
7) Ray Allen- Allen might go down as one of the most clutch
shooters in the history of the league. In his prime years with Bucks and Sonics
he was perenial all-star type player.
6) Clyde Drexler-Clyde was like the poor man’s Michael
Jordan. He could do it all but he only one ring while on the Rockets.
5) Manu Ginnobli-Manu was the heart and soul of the “Big 3”
Spurs. He is a driver first and also a great playmaker…He could hit 3s but didn’t
really have a mid range shot. I love Manu cause of his competitive nature.
4) Allen Iverson-A.I. or the answer was an elite combo
guard. He was an elite scorer (and scoring champ) and decent defender too. I
almost forgot how much I admired Chuck. I got his jersey first. I own his and 2/3
of the next guards on the list.
3) Dwayne Wade-I can say a LOT about this guy. D-wade is the
savior of the Miami Heat. The 2006 Finals will go down in history as one the
best ever. Wade is a special player who drives like Manu but he has a deadly
midrange jumper. He cannot hit 3s well tho. He is an elite defender and playmaker.
2) Michael Jordan- I know what you’re thinking but remember I
was just a kid when MJ won his rings. I had to put him above D-wade tho cause
he is basketball. He seems to embody the game itself. Flawless game for a 2
guard and the blueprint for all 2 guards since his playing days. Deadly midrange
jumper elite defender too. Jordan missed shots but
nobody remembers those, just the game winners like against the 1998 Jazz.
1) Kobe Bryant-Why the black mamba? I just love his competitive
spirit his attention to detail. Kobe is basically MJ minus some defensive intensity.
They are both 6ft 6 but Kobe is a little heavier. I love the fact that he won an
MVP in 2007-2008 season. TBH I wasn’t a kobe fan till after 2008 finals. I felt
sorry for the guy getting beat by the Celtics in the finals. I really love his attitude
too. Kobe is an alpha dog, and like Michael Jordan would hold his teammates to
a high standard.
