Top 10 shooting guards in the NBA

So here is, as promised, part 2 of my top 10-by position- lists. Look at me, actually delivering what I say I will. I feel all high and mighty. Top 10 Shooting Guards 1. Kobe Bryant There is no argument against this and I will not hear anything anyone tells me. The best player on the planet should understandably be the best player at his position. 2.

But this year, I am harder, better, faster, stronger and ready to get it done (Daft Punk and Kanye, don’t worry your checks are in the mail). Let’s start with the point guards, some of my favorite players are 1’s and the duty that they have on an NBA team is of the utmost importance, unless you’re the Clippers in which case it doesn’t really matter what you do, as you ar...
