Top 30 NBA Shooting Guards

No question about it, MVP Kobe Bryant is the best shooting guard and the best player in the NBA. He averaged 28.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 5.4 APG and 1.5 SPG, while leading his team to clinch the top seed in the West. He's one of the most explosive players in the league, and if you want the ball in anyone's hands in the 4th quarter, it's in his.

umm brandon roy and monta is better than kevin martin

yeah you have no idea what you are talking about.

I agree kevin martin is not that nice

watch more ESPN! It seems you've already learned a ton from it anyway.

Most efficient 2 guard in the league
Made more freethrows per game than ANYONE in the league
Has improved his scoring every year he's been in the league even when teams double team
over 40% three point shooter
88% free throw shooter
great mid range jumpshot
probably pound for pound the quickest guy in the league

He would probably be higher if he was on a bigger market team.

Vince should not be that high. I would take a lot of those guys over Vince anyday

i agree. he is not sticking his arm in the rim these days.

I agree Vince Carter is not better than half of those players this is the worst ratings i have ever seen and Allen Iverson is really a poit gaurd!!!

Definitely the most stacked position in the NBA - look how many greats there are playing right now

yes it is, so remember when you're drafting your fantasy team to wait on a shooting guard. go for PGs and Centers early- totally unrelated, but great advice

even though i can't stand the spurs i think ginobli should be like third behind kobe and wade when he is healthy

dwayne wade should be #1 or 2 when he is healthy

If Gilbert was healthy, he would be in the top 5 for sure.

he would be washington wizards all day

he falls under point, if i'm not mistaken.

Larry Hughes? I dont really agree....

Jr. SMith should be higher, and VC shouldnt be that high even though i like him and T-mac they seem like the laziest players in the NBA they play when they want to or in T-MAC's case when the media reminds him he hasnt ever gotten out of the first round of the playoffs...... Vince couldve been one of those guys that always marveled us but after demanding to leave Toronto his career hasnt been the same

it should be top 30 shooters and not just guards. carmelo's shot are all swish. he's a beast. its just a shame the only time he touches the ball is off iverson's MISSED SHOT. he is a no good ball hog. carmelo is so much better than iverson. the nuggets are MELO's TEAM not ball hog iversons

Iverson is one of the greatest pure scorers in NBA history. Melo is good, and could end up earning that distinction, but Iverson's been one of the best for a very long time. He gets the ball because he's proven. And he gives out plenty of dishes too, check out the stats, bro.

meloboy you're probably young aren't you? you'll soon understand what the game is all about. just in case you haven't been paying attention, AI has been the most efficient and consistent player on this team. he also happens to lead the team in points and ASSISTS.

obviously you are a fan of Melo, but Melo cannot do it alone because this is a TEAM Sport, he will need solid veteran guys like AI to help him win. Melo is young too and he has a lot to learn as well. don't hate on AI because all he is doing is anything HE CAN DO TO HELP THE TEAM WIN.

can't you wait for the Top 30 Small Forwards?! young people.

i like melo but meloboy is basing his opinon more on the fact he likes melo than how good he really is....melo takes too many dumb shots he'd be a preimere player if he'd post up a lil more

decent, but Ray Allen's not that good now. If he were on another team those stats would show his age a bit more.

I think Ray's still good, but he has a role where he doesn't have to score 24 a game to win. He'll hit a shot when he needs to, but hopefully, it'll happen in the playoffs too.

it should be the top thirty nba shooters instead of guards. Carmelo is a small foward and he's the shit at shooting. He would have finished at the top 10 at least. Its just a shame the only time he touches the ball is off IVERSON'S MISSED SHOTS. Pass the ball iverson. Melo is so much better than iverson.

low bball IQ and even double posts? kids.

you must really like mike miller

Meloboy u are an idiot the only reason the nuggets were in the playoffs this year was cuz of iverson melo is good but better than iverson come on when u reach 10 years old and know a lil bit more about the sport and the players and their roles then u can leave comments sayin someone is better than someone else!
