How do you rate these PGs...

Straight from the Stus.

Magic, Isiah, Stockton, Chris Paul, Price, Kidd, Kevin Johnson, and Parker.

That is tough:

1. Magic Johnson

2. John Stockton

3. Jason Kidd

4. Isiah Thomas

5. Chirs Paul (can move up, only been in the league 3 years)

6. Mark Price

7. Tony Parker

8. KJ

What about Tim Hardaway and Gary Payton ?

Now there are some teams where I would prefer Paul over Kidd. However, on teams that lack scorers you got to take Paul over a younger Kidd.

Kevin Johnson had a few of the best seasons ever for a PG. I know that he had some injuries but he was a helluva player when healthy.

KJ was nasty in his prime, certainly moreso than Parker.

Nice post coachx. I made my personal changes (rather than retyping). Paul is close to passing Kidd already for me based on Kidd's lack of scoring ability.

1. Magic Johnson

2. John Stockton

3. Isiah Thomas

4. Jason Kidd

5. Mark Price

6. KJ

7. Chris Paul

8. Tony Parker

BTW - Can you imagine KJ in this era of no handchecking? That would be sick.

Since you put past PGs on the list, you have to rank them while they were in their prime.

1) Magic

2) Stockton

3) Paul

4) Isaiah

5) Kidd

6) KJ

7) Price

8) Parker

When I was younger I used to think Magic was a little over rated. I mean he was always on a team with great players with a great coach. He is one of the top pg's but I cant say he is the best. Everyone of those guys was dominant at certain aspects of playing pg. I cant even make a list of them but it sure looks like Paul has arrived and on his way to a career like those guys.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Magic was a freak of nature though. He could literally play all 5 positions. Kareem was great and didn't meed Magic. Worthy was great, but Magic made him a top 50 player. Byron Scott was a very good 2 guard who definitely benefitted from Magic's passing as he penetrated and kicked it out.

Plus Magic was clutch and hit big shots.

I may have put Paul too high, because to me, he hasn't had that one defining moment in his career yet. He's just been great all-around so far, but hasn't had that "ball in your hand with time running down" moment, to win a game. But Paul right now is a better passing version of Isaiah with similar scoring ability.

I think Isiah has a significant edge in scoring ability. Isiah kept his scoring in check on a team oriented, balanced Pistons squad and played in an era where you could grab and hold the PG all the time - unlike today.

Magic, Isiah, Stockton, Chris Paul, Kidd, Kevin Johnson, Parker and Price. Right now.

I think you guys are over rating Magic. He was great on the offensive end, but he couldn't guard the quicker point guards...

I would go...

Magic, Isiah, Stockton, Chris Paul, Kidd, Kevin Johnson, Parker and Price

Isiah, Stockton, Paul, Magic, Johnson, Parker, Kidd, Price

Magic, Isiah, Kidd, Stockton, KJ, CP3, Price, Parker.

I would take Gary P over KJ and on...

Pistol Pete is third on my list.

Tiny Nate, Earl the Pearl, too many to name.... CP3 has a ways to go. Parker will never get there.
