1. Michael Jordan
2. Jerry West
3. John Havlicek
4. George Gervin
5. Kobe Bryant
Now we have to make sure to include just SG and not PG or SF. I honestly don't know who the top 10 are. I am asking you guys to weigh in. I am curious to how you all see it. I do have a top 4, but after that, I am not sure......
1. Michael Jordan
2. Jerry West
3. Kobe Bryant
4. George Gervin
After this, I know some other guys deserve to be in the top 10.....Clyde Drexler, Reggie Miller, Pete Maravich, Dave Bing
Now guys like Ro Blackman, Alex English, Bernard King, John Havlicek, David Thompson.....I am not sure if they were SG or SF.

MH, gettin' his bag on.

MH was desperate. Have mercy.
Lol George Gervin and Havlicek being better than kobe. Oh and lol Jerry West being better than Kobe
If people are going to start throwing names like TMac out there, then you have to consider Ginobili. He's definitely been hampered by injuries late in his career, but if you go by accomplishments, he rivals anybody on this list (especially considering his international career). Three NBA championships in seven years, plus an Olympic Gold (more stunning due to upset of US), Italian League MVP, and Euroleague Finals MVP.
When he's healthy and on the court, he is probably as effective as any other guard in the league sans Bryant, and he's nipping at his heels.
I don't think hes near the top of a Top 10 list, but I think he could deservedly nab one of the last spots.
MJ
the rest are too far back to even bother mention
He was a showman. Took the shot, made the pass, whatever made him look the best at that moment.
Kobe is only 2 back and he got to 4 younger than MJ.
he got 3 thanks to Shaq daddy.
nice try...
& then he got that 1 without Daddy. tee, hee.
Nonetheless the total is 4 and he's younger than Jordan when MJ got his 4th. Its within the realm of possibility he'll surpass MJ. The additional key being if he does indeed surpass Jordan we'll have in all probability passed the Celtics. I think I'd give up bag for such an eventuality, in2. I'd be like stoked. I could actually enter my house justified if that were to come to fruition.
Jerry West was a PG, not a SG. In that era, they called him a guard anyway but people consider him a PG.
1. Michael Jordan (No point spinning it the other way.)
2. Kobe Bryant (Hey, he is that good, well no one else could match his longevity in basketball as a SG.)
3. Allen Iverson (1st SG MVP since Michael Jordan, led the 76ers to the finals with only him as the offense.)
4. George Gervin (Super scorer and homer vote)
5. Dwyane Wade (Rounds up my top 5 for his 2006 Finals MVP and arguably greatest Finals series debut and performance of all time after being down 0-2.)
6. Clyde Drexler (Lets just say he was overshadowed by a certain SG his entire career.)
7. Joe Dumars (Is the top 10 SG list this thin? Well, he was 1989 Finals MVP after all.)
8. Reggie Miller (8 points in 8 seconds, 1st master of the 3 point shot. Incredibly clutch, too bad he didn't win one.
9. Tracy McGrady ( , what is going on? Well, T-Mac was phenomenal when he was putting up 32 points a game. The youngest to put up such numbers in the NBA. His prime puts him at 5. His considerable decline and lack of win drops him down to 9 though.)
10. Vince Carter (We have Mr Dunk the Ball highlight reel Vince Carter who could destroy you on any given night. Too bad he was just too lazy to do so.)
Honorable mention: Ray Allen
Well, I am not that familiar with the NBA before the 3 point line much, so here is my list.
Gervin is too territorial to be considered in these type considerations.
Manu is too compromised to be considered in these type considerations.
Maravich is too scattered to be considered in these type considerations.
It's basically:
1. Jordan
2. Bryant
3. Kit & kaboodle
18 posts and only one passing mention of Black Jesus...
Havlicek played SG also.
Where do you think he stands then? I would say he is pretty much 11 until he kicks Miller off the 3 pointers made top list.
Earl Monroe doesn't play anymore to kick Reggie off the 3 pointers made list.
I'd put Earl Monroe anywhere in the range of 4-7.
Amare is a Center I beleive
The ultimate playground player. Amazing ballhandler.
I think he played with Frazier on the Knicks, right? Sorry, my bad.
Yea, Frazier ran point for those Knicks teams. Pearl played off the ball.
