ESPN's Top 10 PG
Steve Nash has had to stellar seasons, resulting in back-to-back MVP awards, but do two seasons really make a career? I think Steve Nash will eventually be a hall of famer, but I do not think he should be included on this list. What do you guys think? |

He was a top 3 PG in the NBA in Dallas and since joining the Suns, he is the top PG in the league. Don't know about top 10 all time. Maybe. Tiny Archibald should be higher IMO. |

anything from espn is officially poorly done anymore. I think that this list is pretty solid though.
Nash should be on that list. He had a great tenure in dallas and was solid in phoenix during his first stint there. |

I honestly can't think of a whole lot of guys that they left off unless you want to consider Pete Maravich or Jerry West a PG (if you do, major omissions). The only other guy I'd consider is Kevin Johnson, who was a pretty effective PG. It's debatable as to whether or not he was any better than Payton or Nash though.

He was, and easily top 3 point guard along with Jason Kidd, but there are so many players people forget about who where IMO just as good or better than Nash. I guess it stems from my idea of the NBA being weak these days. Here are some other great point guards often glossed over: Kevin Johnson (best PG Suns ever had IMO) Tim Hardaway Sam "I Am" Cassell Mark Price Dennis Johnson Mo Cheeks Gary Payton Rod Strickland Mark Jackson (hate him though) Lenny Wilkens Almost put Iverson on this list, but he is really just a two guard playing the point. Hinrich will also be on this list in no time.  Oh, and Tiny should be higher. |

QUOTE (soxfan101 @ May 12 2006, 12:09 AM) Payton did make the list at number 10. He should be ahead of Nash at 9, Nash closes out the list at 10. I guess this is what I was getting at when I made this thread, I just didn't communicate this well enough. |
