90's shooting gaurds vs 00's shooting gaurds

[hateraid]

Taking out Micheal Jordan and Kobe Bryant out of the equation which era shooting gaurds where better:

Early to mid 90's:

Clyde Drexler
Reggie Miller
Mitch Richmond
Joe Dumars
Latrell Sprewell

vs

Early to mid 00's:

Allen Iverson
Dwyane Wade
Ray Allen
Manu Ginobili
Vince Carter

[Rubio2Gasol]

I'd say 00's edge it on that.

For the 90's you're leaving out Eddie Jones, Steve Smith, Jeff Hornacek, Dan Majerle, Allan Houston, Jimmy Jackson, Kendall Gill, Hersey Hawkins, and John Starks, and you might even throw Nick Anderson in there...They are not stars but when talking about depth, there's a good case for the 90's...

For the 2000's, you're leaving off Brandon Roy, Michael Redd, Richard Hamilton, Joe Johnson, Michael Finley, Kevin Martin, and Jerry Stackhouse...

Now looking at the whole picture, there's depth with both decades. If you look at today, the SG position has really fell off...

Edit - Forgot Monta Ellis for the 2000's..

John Starks wasn't even that good

John Starks wasn't even that good

Do you ever contribute anything to any thread? John Starks certainly was good..He's just as good as any of those other 2nd/3rd tier SG's I listed...He played on a slow pace Knicks squad and was still a good scorer with pretty good defense...

Latrell Sprewell 0

vs

Early to mid 00's:

Allen Iverson 0
Dwyane Wade 1

I went with a top 5 to shorten the list just because these were the more impactful players of the time. But this thread is not exclusive with just these players

Yeah, I figured you were going for the top 5 best players...I just wanted to round it out so we can get a full picture...But honestly, its almost a tossup...Good thread by the way... +rep

What do you want me to say? 00 is clearly better and there's no argument for the 90s. Starks played well in the playoffs but he was still probably the worst guard listed by a good margin.

[kennethgriffin]

its stupid to say "shooting guard" since allot of guys in the 2000's were do it all wings who brought the ball up. scored like a shooting guard and could drive

positions back in the 80's and 90's were more "pg pass first" "sg outsite shooter" and "sf post player"


if you look at wing players ( do it all guys who played outside allot of the time and scored like a shooting guard ) then you'l find the 2000's had far superior talent

guys like kobe/lebron guard each other... so whats a position really mean in the box score


i'd put melo/kd/bron/pierce and a ton more on that list

[jstern]

It's interesting, because I think Allen Iverson and I think of the 90s. He was such a main player when I think back to 96, 97, 98, 99. Then the year 2000 comes, if you put yourself in that moment, it's hard to associate Iverson in the 2000s, even though he played more years there. Ray Allen too, but he wasn't as big as Iverson.

00
A.1 DWade Ginobli

[cos88]

let's be honest, how many of us watched prime dumars or prime clyde for more than a few torrent games or youtube videos? hard to judge, we all know they are all time greats and this makes it even harder to judge. also most of them were drafted one decade earlier

Well, this is a better analysis than "durp, durp, John Starks was not that good "..All I ask for is reasoning to back up your beliefs...I don't have to agree with it...

90's was a weak era when it came to the wings. 2000's greatest era when it came to wings ever.
