Lots of good SGs

Not a lot of great ones

Magic Johnson was a shooting guard, he is listed as such,but also as a point guard and power forward.......

Not sure where he would stand in this convo.......but I tend to think he should be listed.

My guess is he played mostly as a point guard because it was listed first in the NBA Reference site......

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. D. Wade
4. J. Harden
5. P. Maravich
6. C. Drexler
7. V. Carter
8. G. Gervin
9. M. Richmond
10. J. Dumars

I didn’t use any online lists for reference. Maybe I forgot someone obvious. After Gervin, things got tough. I think my Top 8 would be most people’s Top 8, although probably not in that particular order.

I would have Ray Allen top 10. TMac as well. Klay close, maybe 12-13

I got T-Mac as a SF but he was definitely a tweener. I might change him to SG.

Yup. 6'9" pg. How crazy would that look today...?

Ben Simmons tried that didn’t t he? I think he played at least 20 games in his career so far….

Yeah, he did. Can't say he did a spectacular job lol...

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

SGA is top 5 already

I would not call Pierce a SG

Paul pierce to me just screams small forward.

 

[Mebert]

Yeah, he did. Can't say he did a spectacular job lol...

3 time All Star, 2 time all defense, and an all NBA.

Dude collected more accolades in 4 years than most NBA players do in their career. Makes you wonder what his career would have been if he admitted he is right handed.

Yeah, he got those accolades certainly. Just sayin' he wasn't a Magic Johnson. Course I'll admit that's a high bar....

Even if he maximized his talent he never reaches Magic, but I think with his head on straight he probably has an MVP and viewed as a future hall of famer.

Rich Paul saying if he reinvented himself as a rim running center he would be a max player again seems accurate as well.

No amount of talent over rides that much mental baggage though.
