The point guard has produced many superstars in this position since ancient times. Basketball is the existence of scoring, and the main task of the point guard is to score, so their data is much better. US media recently also selected the top 20 point guards in history, with 11-20 being Earl Monroe, McGrady, Halglier, Klay Thompson, Sam Jones, Ginobili, Dennis Johnson, Choudumas, Bill Sharman and Gale Goodridge. Let’s talk about the top ten next.

10th: Vince Carter

Carter also beat McGrady into the top ten. Although he did not have a championship and the scoring champion, he influenced the entire NBA with his excellent dunk ability. It can be said that he saved the bleak NBA market. After all, there are only two types of dunks in the NBA, one is Carter's dunk and the other is the dunk of others. Carter averaged 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1 steal per game in his career.

Ninth: Ray Allen

Ray Allen was Curry's first ever history scorer. Before the arrival of the small ball era, he also dominated the historical three-pointer for many years. He was also a flying place at the peak of his career. He later became a shooter. He won two championships with his outstanding shooting ability. His 13-year desperate three-pointer also changed the historical status of many superstars. His career averaged 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

8: Reggie Miller

Miller was the strongest shooter before Ray Allen. When he was a child, he was even considered not qualified to play in the NBA due to his physical reasons, but he relied on his own efforts to score in the NBA and developed a top-level shooting. He led the Pacers to the finals, but unfortunately he met Jordan at the peak at that time, and averaged 18.2 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game in his career.

7: Drexler

Glider was also called the Western Conference Jordan back then. He was a shrinking version of Jordan, with both offense and defense, and excellent athletic ability. He led the team to the finals. Later, he followed Olajuwon as the second in command to win the championship. He was selected as the All-Star in his career and averaged 20.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2 steals per game in his career.

Sixth: George Gerwen

Iceman George Gerwen is a historic one-team fighter. He showed excellent scoring ability during the ABA period. He has also won four scoring titles with the Spurs. However, the team lacked strong helpers at the time and failed to score very well. He averaged 26.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game in his career.

Fifth: Harden

Harden has not won the championship so far in his career, but the Clippers' lineup in the new season is still promising. He has won the scoring champion, the regular season MVP, and he averaged 36.1 points per game in his peak season. Jordan's highest score afterwards and assists. His double-guard ability is indeed very outstanding. His career averages 24.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Fourth: Iverson

As the shortest No. 1 pick in history, Iverson has won the scoring champion in the league with giants, and it has been 4 times, a very legendary one. Because of his existence, only a small player dares to compete in this league and dares to come on the court to prove himself. For many players, he is a faith-like existence. He can score 26.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.2 steals in his career.

Third: Wade

The top three can be said to be no controversy. Wade helped the Heat win three championships, and he also got an FMVP. He is known as Jordan, who is 5 cm shorter, and has a scoring champion. Wade is very selfless for many times, so he does not have much personal honor bonus in the later stage, and has a career average of 22 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.5 steals.

Second: Kobe

Kobe fell out of the top ten when he ranked in his historical position this year, but as a historical superstar, Kobe is also the second in the position of point guard. It is still very difficult to surpass Kobe. He has 5 career championships, and they are all core players, and there are two FMVPs and two scoring champions. He averaged 25 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.4 steals in his career.

First: Jordan

Jordan will basically not be surpassed, otherwise the position of the first player in history will change. A person won the 10-time scoring champion. If he had not chosen to retire in the middle, the number would have increased. He also has the second most regular season MVPs in history, 6 FMVPs, the most dominant player in history, and has a career average of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals.
