It's Kidd (2000s), Stockton (90s), and Magic (80s).

 

I would give Nash the nod over Kidd if he played defense, or found his way to the NBA Finals...but he never did, and Kidd is arguably a top five point guard of all-time.

 

The other two, I won't need to talk about...their careers do the talking.

Nice to see that you used one of my posts to make this thread haha :

 

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...

Well anyhow I have nothing to add to Real Deal's post, a case just cannot be made against Kidd, Stock and Magic here. I will just say that Payton was a close seconds for the 90's, Hardaway (Tim) was third, and that Thomas was obviously a close second for the 80's.

 

And Cousy was the best PG of the 50's, O of the 60's and I'd say that it's arguable between Tiny and Clyde for the 70's, I'd give the edge to Clyde though as he was a much better defender.
