Top 5 Shooting Guards in the NBA

Here is my top five:

1. Kobe Bryant
2. Dwyane Wade/Brandon Roy
3. Dwyane Wade/Brandon Roy
4. Joe Johnson
5. Manu Ginobili

Agree/disagree...and why?

Agreed...

1. Bryant
2. Roy
3. Wade
4. Johnson
5. Ginobili, Hamilton, Allen, or a healthy Redd = case can be made for either one of them

Agreed

Kobe
Dwyane
Brandon
Joe
Ray/Manu

Kobe
wade
roy
Carter
joe

eff VC lol

Forgot VC he's def up there.

Then you got your awkward SF's playing SG that realistically would be in the discussion, but quite frankly aren't cause they aren't really SG's like that of Caron Butler for instance.

Forgot Iggy, but hes SF so no prob.

Caron Butler hands down better than Iggy as well. Butler has a well identified star quality in his game.

Kobe Bryant
Brandon Roy
Dwyane Wade
Joe Johnson
Monta Elis

I'm bias enough to put Roy at #2

OJ Mayo should at the top of these lists.

O.J. Mayo is all right, but Eric Gordon is better.

LMFAO @ Eric Gordon being better. Look at the stats, not to mention the fact that OJ plays for a way better team...

I think gordon is better. He plays better defense, and offense is ab out the same. Its close but slight edge to eric.

So Eric Gordon is way more dominant than O.J and I like his offensive firepower way more. Mayo averages .3 more PPG, but Gordon is more efficient and doesn't have as many off nights like Mayo does. FG% Gordon beats him out and plays 3 less minutes than Mayo and takes only 11 FG's yet averages 17+ PPG as the 2nd option of the Clippers. While, O.J. takes nearly 15 FG attempts as a 3rd option on offense. Plus, I think Gordon is better defensively than Mayo. It's the truth Gordon > Mayo IMO.

Their career highs are right there with one another.

Gordon = 41 pts
Mayo = 40 pts


But, what separates them the most is that Gordon is a respectable Hoosier and not some whimpy Trojan. USC is as broken basketball wise as Trojans, their namesake.

u lost me when u said eric gordon was dominant, lol.

3rd options on the Clippers are dominant.

2nd option. B.Diddy is the 3rd option these days. O.J. falls under the 3rd option in Memphis falling behind Z.BO and Rudy. But, yeah Grizz > Clipps by a lot yet Mayo represents USC so ugh.

1. Kobe Bryant
2. Dwayne Wade
3. Brandon Roy
4. Joe Johnson
5. Ray Allen

Manu, aint really old Manu.

The up and comers....

--. Brandon Roy

2. Monta Ellis
3. Eric Gordon
4. O.J. Mayo
5. Kevin Martin - If he can ever get his FG% up he can be #2 (better than Gordon/Mayo/Ellis)

Diddys still the 1st option,Kaman 2nd,Eric 3rd. Gordon doesnt take many shots..diddy still puts em up.

and eric gordon is undersized and not a good defender. he even averages less assists. Mayo > Gordon. Don't hate just cuz he went to USC

It's not only that I just really think that Gordon undersized and all is better than Mayo. He could average the assists that Mayo does it's not like it's beyond his capabilities. I just like the package Gordon brings to the table a bit more than Mayo.

Up and comers PG's {D.Will & CP3 have arrived. You get a sense of where Rondo/Felton would fall ...

1. Tyreke Evans
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Derrick Rose
3. Russell Westbrook
4. Stephen Curry
5. Jonny Flynn

1. kobe
2. wade
3. roy
4. Joe Johnson
5. Stephen Jackson... O and D

I consider Captain Jack a swingman moreso than a pure SG hence why I did not rank him in my top 5.

Eric Gordon is pretty damn close to OJ Mayo...maybe even better
You're severely underrating Gordon, Ryan...
Hope off Mayo's nuts...


I like ur list, SRF....but I wouldn't put Manu up there...
I'd put Monta up there...
