Derrick Rose would be lost without great coaches like Callipari and Thibodeau.

Dude had Del Negro his first 2 years.

Year 1 - Rookie of the Year. Triple double in first playoffs game.
Year 2 - Allstar. 2nd round breakout

DRose was a star and on his way before Thibs

He did just fine in HS, and with Vinnie Del Negro

Del Negro is a great coach.

Thibs got him an MVP. No one knew who Derrick Rose was before that, except extreme fans like here on ISH.

Rose was irrelevant and was never talked about with my friends. They didn't know who he was.

Don't all d1 athletes do fine in high school?

Since when is Del Negro not considered a good coach?

CP3 - Extremely skilled and efficient, very few weaknesses, a threat to drop 30 points or 15 dimes on any night and can play decent/solid defense. I try to model my game around PG's like him, Nash, and D-Will especially ball handling wise.

I know what the word means, and don't mistake his physical ability for intuitiveness.

He doesn't understand how to run an offense. I was referring to his passing intuitiveness, because you could argue he intuitively knows how to get to the basket and finish, but again, wasn't what I was referring to.

You said intuition - you didn't say passing intuition. Cp3 has more of a passing disposition. Intuition is not really subject to different aspects of the game. Either you have it or you don't. You still haven't proven that you know what the word means.

Chicago had the 11th best offense in the league with Thibes only allocating 20 minutes to offensive sets and Derrick Rose having the second highest usage percentage in the league. This was with teams knowing they were going to go at Rose. Without Rose they were 23rd and 28th offensively with three times more time allocated to offense. He definitely knows how to run an offense.

Derrick Rose is a terrible PG. His mind works 10 seconds late and he doesn't something until it's too late.

More evidence that you don't know what intuition means.

He gets assists by driving, drawing the D, and making a routine pass. Not because he's good at PG, but because he's extremely athletic and can draw defenders, and even when he does, his passes still aren't on time.

He won MVP. You don't even have your vocabulary down.

He has no anticipation skills. And it is something that can be learned, but he is too stupid to notice that as a flaw.

It all reverts back to him being a moron and not knowing how to improve his game.

Sounds like you are describing your post(ing) game. Good luck with that.

Jason Kidd is my favorite PG of all-time. He's from the Bay Area and I followed his whole career. I loved his ability to defend, get the rebound, and push the rock. He may be the best of all-time at that specific set of skills. He took a team of athletes to the NBA Finals back to back years, and probably should have won MVP one of those seasons... although it's hard to argue against Duncan.

And my current favorites are Steph Curry and Damian Lillard.

Billups - always had tenacity, a fierce competitor, made some great plays.

Avery Johnson - good passer, better teammate. Understood how to mesh with Duncan instantly, hit some clutch shots.

Pre-Clippers Paul - he mastered everything his size/body allowed him to do: good scorer, efficient, great passer, good rebounder, good defender, high IQ, fun to watch.

Hello friends,

Curious to know as to who your favourite PG's are of all time and what your reason is for liking each? Doesn't necessarily mean "best" of all time, just those who you enjoyed watching / appreciated their playstyles etc. that made them your top players at the 1.

For me:

Gary Payton: Swag before "swag" existed; great balance of scoring, passing and defense; lead one of the most entertaining short-lived awesome teams of the 90's; pulled off perhaps my most loved in-game pass of all-time (6) in this video:

Penny Hardaway: such a shame his career was cut short by injury, one of the best blends of athletic highlights and passing instinct at the position; 6-7 point guard with legit handles; continued to thrive after Shaq left proving he wasn't just a coattail rider

Steve Nash: gave white players hope all over again; dominated despite lack of hops; made passing "cool" again for a temporary period; captained one of the most entertaining offensive teams of all time; funny and down to earth guy who is a good presence off the court

Tim Hardaway: as a long-time Heat fan, always one of my faves; dat crossover doe; run TMC; one of the few players who showed up in their conference finals with Jordan's Bulls

post up yours and share some love for the little guys of the game

damn havent seen that payton highlight b4, 1

steph could actually go down as a lot of peoples favortie of all time actually.

My favourite PG's of the last 15 years are Derek Fisher and Tony Parker

They accounted for 9 of the last 15 rings, a staggering 60% of rings were won by them!

They both were integral parts of their team successes, played at a high level, and helped give many other players on their team, championship rings


Due to this supreme dominance by these 2 individuals, they are my 2 favourite Point Guards of all time

Do you ever say a post without trolling a player or team?

Great trolls have graced this forum over the years, you simply don't have it in you.

If you are capable of just posting normally, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If not, I hope you get your long overdue ban.
