The greatest NBA player in history, of course, is the greatest in his position.
As American Fox Sports columnist Charlie Rosen said, choosing Michael Jordan as the best shooting guard in history is as simple as a layup.
Jordan himself didn't want to admit that he was the greatest player in history, but when choosing the best team in his mind, he chose himself as a shooting guard.
No matter how modest Jordan is, he can't find anyone who can surpass him in the shooting guard position. If the scores of all shooting guards range from 1 to 10, and Jordan is 10, everyone else stops at 8 points-this seems a bit exaggerated, but NBA superstar larry bird once expressed similar views, but he said "all players", not just shooting guards.
With the development of basketball today, if you want to find a player who is most qualified to speak for basketball, it must be Jordan. Similarly, if you want to find a player who is most qualified to speak for the position of shooting guard, it is Jordan.
As we all know, Jordan has an extraordinary scoring ability. Jordan once became the NBA 10 scoring champion; Of these 10 times, seven were winning streaks-both of which ranked first among all players in NBA history.
Jordan is not the player who scores the most points in the NBA, but that's because he didn't play long enough (only 15 season, two of which played less than 20 games). You know, the two men in front of him, "Jabbar" Jabbar, played for 20 years, and Karl Malone also played 19 season.
Although not the overall scoring champion, Jordan is the highest scoring player in history and the scoring champion in NBA history. 1997-98 When he retired from the Bulls at the end of the season, Jordan scored as high as 3 1.5 points per game in his career. Although he returned to the Wizards for two years and lowered his average score, Jordan still scored 30. 12 points per game after 1072 games, which was higher than the average score of super center Chamberlain.
The above scoring record is only for the regular season. In the more important playoffs, Jordan's total score (5987 points) and average score (33.4 points) are the highest in the NBA, and his average score is 2.8 points higher than that of the second-place Iverson.
There are still many scoring records about Jordan, so there is really no need to count them one by one. Why did he get so many points? Not only because he could run, fly and rush when he was young, but also because he had a terrible hand in the lottery. In fact, even when flying in the sky, Jordan's CIC is quite good, fast and accurate, and very crisp. At the peak of leading the bulls to win the championship, CIC became Jordan's most important scoring method. In the later period of his career, Jordan developed a classic back jump shot from his unique skills in CIC. That classic back jump shot is very imposing, and it is more suitable for the bull's "triangle attack", so Jordan's dominance on the court increased although his score dropped in the later period.
Of course, if we just scored, Jordan wouldn't be Jordan now. Many scoring experts like Jordan always have reservations on defense and reserve energy for attack, but Jordan doesn't. He can not only contribute high scores, but also prevent opponents from scoring, and both ends of the offense and defense perform equally well. 1988, Jordan won his only defensive player of the year award; Since that season, Jordan has been selected as the defensive team of the year for nine times, which is the most frequently selected player in NBA history (Peyton later tied with Jordan).
With superhuman physical fitness and extraordinary personal ability, as well as rare ambition and first-class leadership temperament, Jordan led the Bulls to the finals six times in the 1990s, won the championship again and again, and was elected MVP in the finals again and again, which is unmatched by any shooting guard in history. In the finals of 1998, Jordan left an extreme perfection for basketball fans all over the world with his "last shot", which was difficult for any player in history to complete. If Jordan is not the first, who will be the first?
The only question is, Jordan has pushed success to such an extreme. Will anyone surpass it? "There will be a player who is much greater than me," Jordan once said. Is that really the case?
Second place: West
If a player can be a symbol of a league, what is the reason why this player is not great?
You know, the logo of NBA-dribbling sideways is based on Jerry West. The logo of the NBA has not changed because of Magic Johnson, nor has it changed because of Jordan. The west is still a great west.
Many players in NBA history are called "Mr. Key", but only West is the real "Mr. Key". When the Lakers need the most critical shot, the ball will be given to West. If there is only a little time left in the game and West is your opponent, you should be careful, because West will destroy the defense of everyone in your team as if he were the only one on the field.

Kobe is the newest top ten guards in NBA history, and Kobe is the third.
The most famous shot of "Mr. Key" took place in the third game of 1970 finals. The first two games were tied with Knicks 1, and the third game was held in Los Angeles. Three seconds before the end of regular time, the Knicks led by 102 to 100, but the Lakers didn't stop. After receiving the ball in the backcourt, West dribbled a few steps forward and threw the ball at a distance of 60 feet (more than 18 meters). The ball actually scored! At that time, there were no three-pointer rules. If there is, the Lakers will win that game. Unfortunately, the Knicks won after overtime. That year, the finals finally reached the seventh game, and the Knicks had the last laugh. This has to make people wonder: if there was a three-pointer rule at that time, would West have another championship and a finals MVP title?
The championship is always West's biggest pain, because he played nine finals in his 14 career, but only won the final victory once. West won the first MVP award in NBA history (1969), but he won it as a loser. West's Lakers lost to Bill Russell's Celtics six times in the finals, including three in Game 7. This makes people wonder: How many championship rings would West have had if he hadn't bumped into the great Celtic dynasty?
Don't doubt that West won only one championship because he would be useless in the playoffs. In fact, West has set a standard for almost all superstars in the future, that is, the real superstars perform better in the playoffs than in the regular season. West's playoff data is better than the regular season for nine consecutive years. 1965, West averaged 40.6 points in the playoffs. Legendary coach Jack Ramsay commented on West: "He is the captain of the' most critical lineup'." Even though he was defeated, West was a hero who lived to the last moment. When West retired, he was the player who scored the most points in NBA playoff history (4,457 points), and he also kept the record of scoring the highest point per game in the first round of playoff (46.3 points).
West is one of the best players in NBA history to stop jump shots, and his actions are enough to kill people. West rarely attacks from the left because he doesn't have to do that at all; He always moves to the right at full speed, smashes the last ball, and then jumps to throw the ball, and the ball instantly enters the basket.
It must be mentioned that West is not only good at attacking, but also good at defending. One of West's favorite tricks in defense is to let the opponent dribble past him and then steals the ball from behind when the opponent is ready to shoot. West's arm is very long, which is very beneficial to defense. The opponent's coach always tells his players, even if it is a fast break, even if West is the only one in front, you should not pass the ball in front of him, because if your pass is not 100% accurate, it is likely to be broken by West.
West is deeply respected by people, including his opponents. 1969 finals, the Lakers lost to the Celtics again, but Celtic superstar John havlicek walked up to West and said sincerely, "Jerry, I love you!"
Third place: Kobe Bryant.
The score of 8 1 allowed Kobe to justifiably surpass many predecessors in history.
The 2005-06 season is the season for Kobe to write new legends. Before this season, Kobe Bryant was the best shooting guard in the league today, but among many superstars in history, he may not get such a top position. But after this season, everything is different.
20061October 22nd, 65438, Kobe played against Raptors 8 1 minute, which is a myth of modern NBA and a miracle after Chamberlain, an ancient demon. Jordan didn't score 8 1, West didn't score 8 1, and Gwen the Iceman didn't score 8 1. No shooting guard in the NBA has ever scored 8 1 in a game except Kobe Bryant.
8 1 minute, not all of Kobe's 2005-06 season. This season, his average score reached 35.4 points, which is the highest personal average score since Jordan 1986-87 season. In fact, in the whole NBA history, only Chamberlain, Jordan and Rick Barry have ever scored so high a season.
From a purely natural point of view, I am afraid that only Jordan can surpass Kobe, and even whether Jordan can surpass Kobe is controversial. Kobe's physical fitness is outstanding, and he once became famous and won the dunk championship. After so many years of hard work and struggle, Kobe has surpassed his peers in many ways. Kobe is more than just "Peter Pan" now. He can not only dunk, but also score inside. His long-range jumper is excellent and his free throws are stable.

Kobe is the latest top ten guards in NBA history, and Kobe is the third.
In fact, if you take out the three-pointers, Kobe's three-pointers are even more powerful than Jordan's. Although Jordan once hit six three-pointers at the half-time of the finals, three-pointers have never been Jordan's main scoring method. Jordan only hit 1778 three-pointers in his career (regular season), while Kobe only played 10 in the NBA, and the number of shots outside the three-point line has reached 2379. Although Kobe's three-point shooting percentage is only 33.6%, which is not a top shooter, once he is allowed to make a smooth shot, he can kill his opponent with three points alone.
It is said that Kobe is like Jordan, with the same demeanor, the same way of playing, and good offensive and defensive skills. Like Jordan and West, Kobe is also good at defense. So far, Kobe has been selected into the NBA defensive team of the year for four times and the second defensive team for two times.
Kobe has many good things, but he also has a fatal flaw, that is, his extremely conceited personality. Conceit is a double-edged sword. If used well, Kobe can be fearless in the face of despair, just like in the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs this year, or even two "lore" in one game. Kobe often plays the key ball, which really benefits from his conceit. But in many cases, conceit will also be manifested as distrust of teammates and lack of team spirit, which will become a bottleneck restricting his development to a higher level.
Kobe has won three championships, but all with O 'Neal, and the MVP of three finals was also taken away by O 'Neal. Kobe hasn't proved that he can lead the team to the top without O 'Neal. Kobe hasn't won any MVP of the year or finals, so Kobe still has a lot to do.
Of course, compared with Jordan and West, Kobe's biggest advantage now is that he is an "unfinished" superstar. Bryant is not yet 28 years old, and he still has a career of at least five years and at least 10 years. There is still hope for those great achievements. Maybe when he retires, his position on the list of "historical 10 shooting guards" can be moved a little further. Who knows?
Fourth place Govin
As far as his data is concerned, George Gervin has not received enough respect, and many experts are dismissive of Gwen because he has not led the Spurs to win enough victories and never won the championship.
In this regard, isiah thomas said: "Victory is a hard indicator to judge greatness, and it is very important to have several championship rings. So in some surveys, George (Gwen) suffered a lot. " Thomas himself is still full of praise for Gwen. He thinks Gwen is the "purest scorer" among all defenders.
In the history of NBA, except Jordan and Chamberlain, Gwen (and later Iverson) scored the most points-Gwen topped the personal scoring list four times. It is worth mentioning that he is the first guard in NBA history to become the scoring champion for three consecutive years.
Gwen has a special nickname "Iceman", but what is more special is Gwen's signature action-finger rolling. Gwen's shooting feels very soft, whether it's a fingertip shot or a jumper from 25 feet (about 7.6 meters), it always makes people feel indescribable comfortable. Gwen can make a beautiful reverse layup with either hand, but he is not soft, because he will dunk on the heads of two big men who are over 2m 10.
Gwen's shooting style is quite special, and his timing is even more difficult for defenders to judge. It is really not easy to defend him. Gwen can always hit some incredible balls, whether facing a three-man attack or changing direction in the air. More importantly, he can finish those actions as easily as a free throw.
However, Gwen's shortcomings are as prominent as her advantages. In fact, it seems that he was born for the kind of attack he is good at. Besides, Gwen is nothing outstanding. His long shot, passing, rebounding and defense are not good. So Gwen is more like a single-function scorer.
Of course, it is quite remarkable that such a single function can become the NBA scoring champion four times.
Sam Jones
Everyone knows that Bill Russell of Boston No.6 has 1 1 championship rings, but many people don't know who is the player with the second most championship rings.
Sam Jones, Russell's comrade-in-arms for many years, is only one ring less than Russell's.
Sam jones is not only a key figure in the establishment of the Celtic Dynasty, but also the second generation leading core of the Celtic Dynasty after Shaman and Kusi retired. From 1962 to 1968, Sam Jones is one of the most important scorers in the Celtic dynasty, especially in the playoffs. Sam Jones averaged more than 20 points in regular games for only four seasons, but he averaged more than 20 points in the playoffs for seven seasons.

Kobe is the latest top ten guards in NBA history, and Kobe is the third.
No one Bisam Jones is better at using the cover of his teammates, and few Bisam Jones moves faster. Sam Jones shoots accurately and cleanly, which is his unique skill; Sam jones often scored in the fast break, and it was easy to see Russell grab the rebound and make a long pass to assist sam jones.
[Sixth place] Iverson
So far, there are only four players who can win the scoring championship at least four times in NBA history, and Iverson is the shortest one.
A person who is only 1.83 meters tall can win the scoring champion once, let alone four times.
Iverson has played in the NBA for ten years. Since his rookie season, Iverson has never scored less than 20 points per game. 1999 after Jordan retired, Iverson became a hero in the NBA personal scoring list. He is not only the first scoring champion after Jordan, but also the first scoring champion after Jordan to increase his average score to more than 30 points per game.
Iverson has no height, but he has amazing speed and explosive power. He can get rid of his opponent by changing gears and directions at will, break through with the ball or jump shot from outside. However, due to the height limitation, Iverson's career shooting percentage is only 42. 1%, and the score of "shooting birds at random" has been criticized.
In his ten-year career, Iverson averaged 6. 1 assists and 2.34 steals per game, which is considered as the data of the top shooting guard, but Iverson's passing and defense have not been praised enough.
2000-0 1 season was the peak of Iverson. At that time, he not only led the 76ers to the finals, but also won the first and only MVP of the year in his career. In the 200 1 finals, Iverson played the role of "David" against the mighty Lakers "Goliath", which was the most heroic story of the NBA at that time. In the 2005-06 season, Iverson scored a record high per game, but the 76ers didn't even make the playoffs. Iverson is at the bottom of his career again.
Reggie Miller
Reggie miller's heroism may be no less than that of anyone in NBA history.
Miller played 65,438+08 in Indiana, never made the NBA team of the year, never won any MVP title, never won the championship, and never even averaged more than 25 points in any season. However, Miller's historical position will be felt as long as he watches the last game of his career. At the end of the game, Larry Brown, the head coach of Miller's rival Pistons, called all his players together to applaud Miller-what a scene it was!
Miller who has seen him play is hard to forget, because he is the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history and one of the greatest "Mr. Key" in NBA history. Miller scored countless key goals in the playoffs, and he even got a classic term belonging to him-"Miller moment"!
You can't see another person scoring 8 points in 8.9 seconds, and you can't wait for another person to make Newcastle director Spike Lee love and hate. Just as Jordan has only one, so does Miller. Thank you, Miller!
Drexler
Once upon a time, drexler, wearing No.22 jersey, was praised as "the shooting guard second only to No.23 (Jordan)". Drexler has a handsome nickname, called "Glider". It is said that his air time is longer than that of Jordan.
Drexler has a strong scoring ability, can also send beautiful passes, and can rebound with big men. On the court, drexler is always calm. When he can't shoot correctly or has defensive problems, drexler knows how to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Drexler was not a leader in the dressing room, but once became a disharmony factor of the team. But once on the court, he will become a team player completely, which is the most admirable point of drexler.
Ninth place: Greer
Like Iverson, hal greer is a small shooting guard. Greer is accurate in jump shot, good in passing and meticulous in defense. Surprisingly, he is also an excellent rebounder-his height is only 1.88 meters!
1966-67 season, Greer and Chamberlain led the 76ers to win the championship together. In the regular season that year, Greer was the second scorer in the team, averaging 22. 1 point, second only to Chamberlain's 24.438+0 point. In the playoffs, Greer averaged 27.7 points per game, surpassing Chamberlain's 6.0 points. That year, Chamberlain was the focus of attention, but Greer was probably the best player of the 76ers.
[No.10] Monroe
Before Magic Johnson appeared, there was another magician in NBA-Earl Monroe. Monroe was once called "Black Magician" and nicknamed "Earl of Pearl".
Monroe's dazzling ball control and one-on-one offensive skills always pleased fans of his time. It was Monroe who let the fans see the basketball performance they had never seen before; It was Monroe who made the black basketball elements on the street accepted by the NBA.
If Monroe's teammate Frazier is respected in new york, then Monroe is truly lovely in new york.
