Steve Nash: "Not sure You Can Categorize Rose and Westbrook As PG's"

[Clippersfan86]

I'm surprised this thread wasn't made considering it's such a common ISH argument. This quote is from Nash's interview on Max and Marcellus when asked who the best PG in LA is now.

[blablabla]

not sure bout rose i think he's a pg but wb is a combo guard

So should we start categorizing them as Super Guards? Cause that's what Nash thinks we should do.

I agree Rose actually has a case as a PG, Westbrook doesn't. Rose's passing game looked much improved this year and he seemed to be thinking more like a PG. His team finally had to tell him to start shooting more again .

Sure. To me super guard in this context seems like a combo guard reference though.

lol keep cherry picking, cause to me it seems like he is saying those two play on another level to be categorized as mere PGs.

Which would be what? If he singles out Rose and Westbrook to call CP3+Deron the best "Point Guards" what are you guessing he's implying? He's calling Rose+Westbrook combo guards in a very complimentary way because for whatever reason combo guard has a bad meaning to some (exactly why you don't like me calling Westbrook a combo guard). I don't think combo guard is an insult. Admitting WB+DR are combo guards doesn't mean they can't be top 5 players or elite at their position...

No, Nash definitely sees that Rose and Westbrook are the best two at their post and they do much more than what an ordinary PG would do so they stay a class higher than the rest who play at the PG position.

We can agree to disagree but these comments are interesting coming from Nash nonetheless. Like I said.. ties in to one of the most common ISH arguments.

Yea it proves that Rose and Westbrook are only comparable to themselves, the rest come far behind.

this is insane, damn go get some *****, there is life outside the internet

Well the game evolves constantly and what was once percieved as point guard is now a dying breed of players Nash/Kidd/Stockton , though some guys still hold the flag for these guys high Rondo/CP3 , teams are slowly drafting these athletic guys who are MJ/Kobe in 6

Is Tony Parker a super guard or a point guard?

Chris Paul: 1st team all NBA, 1st team all NBA defense, Team USA starter, starter of all star game. Is this the path you want to go down? Westbrook isn't there yet.
