kingfish Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I think so. You have some superstars like cp3d willroserondo great players Currywestbrook young but already good evanswallcollisonharrisfeltonjennings solid veteransnelsonkiddParkernashmiller then you have others like brooks, baron davis, gilbert. Its a stacked position and I know im forgetting some. Has it ever been this good? Edited January 11, 2011 by kingfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yes I do believe so, mainly due to the expansion of the role PGs play nowadays. Now, PGs are not only expected to pass the ball well, but also score like a SG (hence why Rondo was/is always criticized for not having an outside jumpshot). You look around the league, besides Fish maybe , every other starting PG of a team can score or pass well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver P Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Even if there are a lot of talented PGs in today's game indeed, I certainly do not believe that it's the best it's ever been... I definitely think that the PGs from the Golden Era of Basketball, the 80's/90's, were better than those of today's game. In the 80's there were Magic, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Dennis Johnson, Fat Lever, Doc Rivers, Maurice Cheeks, Norm Nixon, Derek Harper, Fat Lever, Tiny Archibald, World B. Free, Sleepy Floyd, Calvin Murphy, John Lucas, Paul Pressey, Michael Ray Richardson, Gus Williams, etc... In the 90's there were Gary Payton, John Stockton, Anfernee Hardaway, Tim Hardaway, Avery Johnson, Rod Strickland, Derek Harper, Kenny Smith, Kenny Anderson, Muggsy Bogues, Nick Van Exel, Howard Eisley, Darrell Armstrong, Jason Kidd, Stephon Marbury, Kevin Johnson, Mark Jackson, Mookie Blaylock, Sam Cassell, Terrell Brandon, Damon Stoudemire, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Robert Pack, Pooh Richardson, Mark Price, Sherman Douglas, Eric Murdock, Terry Porter, Nate McMillan, Dana Barros, Spud Webb, etc... Honestly today's PGs are very talented but most of them are still very young and still have a lot to prove, I'd pick those two decades PG's before ours any time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
