No it wasn't.

Still on pace.

For the Reggie fans, ESPN has him as the #9 shooting guard all-time.

Legend status is usually top 8

[nyquillyn]

Shooting guard was a relatively "under appreciated" position in the early days of the NBA (primarily PGs and big men), so there's not gonna be a huge number of them from that era. In that regard, I don't have a HUGE problem with that list. I'd, again, argue that Richmond was significantly better than Reggie in every way and if you examine Miller's clutch stats you'll see the majority of Reggie's "legend" are made from moments in the early rounds of the playoffs and he generally wilted in games 6 and 7 of later rounds.

Not a ton of legendary shooting guards.

Television it is.

Also, I have a problem with ESPN's PG list. Curry shouldn't be top 5 yet. Top 10 I can buy, but I agree with Magic, no way he should be above Zeke (19 points and 9 assists for his career). Also, Nash and Kidd shouldn't be above Frazier and Cousy. Nash could be the worst one-on-one defender in NBA history. My dead grandmother could have played better defense against Tony Parker in those Suns-Spurs series.

Also, Gary fucking Payton.

Yeah ranking Curry #4 right now is pure madness.

I loved Gary Payton so much

[nyquillyn]

Best defensive PG ever?
