Top 10 Shooting Guards In NBA History as of 2011, Fox Sports

[donald_trump]

can someone tell me how miller got this reputation for being such a good player. i doubt he's in my top 20 as far as shooting guards go.
there were several better shooting guards around during his time. he has 3 all nba teams. and they were all 3rd teams... that says enough.

would anyone honestly say that reggie is better than sprewell? richmond? carter? mcgrady?

jesus, the guy is overrated to death.

People value longevity but they probably overvalue it if anything. I would say Reggie is a top 15 shooting guard of all-time, but certainly not top 10.

My rankings....

1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Jerry West
4. Dwyane Wade
5. Clyde Drexler
6. Allen Iverson
7. George Gervin
8. Hal Greer/Sam Jones
9. Sam Jones/Hal Greer
10. Dennis Johnson

Honorable Mention: Joe Dumars and Earl Monroe.

Ok, how many of you actually watched Reggie played?

I can understand why Wade is a little bit low on this list, longevity and consistency definitely plays into all-time ranking. If not, then Tmac had one of the better year statistically when he played in Orlando, and you can say based on potential, he could've been top 3 SF of all time if he had played like that his whole career.

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. West
4. Drexler
5. Wade

Yeah, it is incredible how much better a shot-creator and scorer Kobe is compared to Milller.

There are dozens of players who were better shot-creators and scorers than Reggie Miller, it's not just Kobe. Calm down son.

1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Jerry West
4. Allen Iverson
5. Dwayne Wade
6. Clyde Drexler
7. George Gervin
8. Reggie Miller
9. Earl Monroe
10. Bill Sharman

I just cant put dwayne wade over iverson. I watched both of them play the whole time and from the eye Iverson was clearly better.

[Dragonyeuw]

Wade # 8?? BLASPHEMY. He's between 4-6, depending on where you rank him with Drexler and Iverson. Personally he's the third best shooting guard I've actually seen play, behind Jordan and Kobe.

[QUOTE=sh0wtime]Longevity and consistency is not a god given gift, its a result of work ethic and that should be valued. Reggie was one of those who would come 4 AM to the gym and put up situational jumpshots and run in some hours, then his teammates will come and they will practice, then he will stay for a couple of more hours after they are done, he would do this before games and after games aswell.

The thing Kobe Bryant did after the Heat game i think it was in christmas, staying after the game to work on his jumpshot, the thing Kobe got praised for to infinity for doing once (in a very long while at least), is what Reggie has been doing every day.

A quick Reggie Miller story:

"[I]The team I

[Niquesports]

Agreed.

Prime Richmond > Prime Miller

Why they never assembled a proper team around Richmond is beyond me. So underrated.

Didnt it fail in Golden State TMC

[kaiiu]

Kobes much to low

[bagelred]

Where Allan Houston be at?

you're def right, I can def take thompson, Jones, and Gus ove rhim

[Kurosawa0]

I'd have Wade at #4, maybe #3.

[scm5]

In terms of greatness, I'd have West over Wade.

If they were to play in the same era, there is no doubt in my mind that Wade would be the better player.
