How about a top 5 PGs list?  This is mine.  Share yours.

1. Deron Williams
2. Chris Paul
3. Rajon Rondo
4. Steve Nash
5. Russell Westbrook

That list was pretty tough to put together.  There were a lot of names that you could make an argument for namely Derrick Rose, Tony Parker, and to a lesser extent Stephen Curry.  I put Westbrook slightly above Rose because he's a better defender and a great rebounder.  Honestly it could go either way, but I had to choose.  I think this might be the most talented group of PGs ever assembled in the NBA.  Top to Bottom there is loads of talent.  What do you think?

Here's mine :

1. Chris Paul
2. Deron Williams
3. Jason Kidd
4. Rajon Rondo
5. Derrick Rose 

I honestly believe that a PG order is the hardest to make.  

The only one of your top 5 that I would dispute would be Jason Kidd.  I've been a fan of Kidd throughout his career because I think he exemplifies what a true PG should be, but I think he's been surpassed as a top 5 gaurd.  Top 8 maybe, but not top 5 imo.  Too bad he never had a great outside shot.


To be fair to him, he's really started to develop that in the past few years. Since moving to Dallas he's been hitting over 40% of his three pointers, but obviously it's to compensate for his loss of athleticism. It's a shame he didn't develop it earlier in his career.

Kevin Love 31 points and 31 rebounds, amazing, the guy's really playing well. I can't believe Toronto beat Orlando, but with Jazz beating Atlanta, it makes it all the better for us, we could get a good advantage if we beat Memphis tomorrow

Seriously did you see the company he's in with that feat?  What is Minnesota thinking early on by not giving the guy more minutes?  Sure he may lack some defensive skills but the guy more than compensates with points and rebounds.  No wonder Minnesota is a mess.  It all starts at the top of the organization with a dumb owner.


Yeah, I know what you mean, after all, he wasn't a starter last season and played less than 30 mpg, and it's not like the Timberwolves were in a position where they could afford him not playing full minutes...it's really weird. Still, I think their roster this season ain't that bad, I mean, Love, Beasley and Flynn are good starters, and they have some other decent players like Ridnour and Brewer, of course I'm not saying they're playoff contenders, but it should be good enough to scratch maybe 30 wins....much better than the last season, that's for sure. Their problem is that they play in the West, and so they have more matches against much stronger teams. After all, if you have 4 matches assured against the Jazz, Nuggets, Thunder and Trail Blazers each, it gets really hard to get many wins

PG really is awkward, there are so many things to gauge when you're considering who's the best; personally, I'm gonna say that a PG for me should be a creator first and a scorer second. I find it hard to rate someone like Nash in my top five because of his defensive issues. Ah well, here we go:

1. Rondo
2. Paul
3. Williams
4. Kidd
5. Rose

If John Wall continues playing like this it won't be long before he's on this list!


Wall is a beast no doubt.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

The Jazz Are pretty much the only Major Sports team I love. Theres a few other's I like Packers, Cardinals, And Suns (I live in Phoenix).

Idk why, but watching the Jazz play always bores me. Their play-style reminds me of an early 90s style of game. Granted, the Spurs have been the most boring team to watch in the NBA for 5 years.



Notorius.A.i.G on 14 November 2010

SA is doing pretty good. Anyone else think they have enough left in the tank to make a run to the Finals ?

To the conference finals, sure. The problem is, they'll face the Lakers in there....

Yeah, the lakers look more unstoppable this year then any year i can remember at this point in time.

Even during the Shaq Kobe years they usually took this first part of the season "off".

Those US team games really transformed Lamar Odom.
