4 Different Angles: The 10 Best Guards to Ever Play in the NBA

 ^{Making lists are a hard thing to do. It's always so hard to recognize all of the players and make sure they all go where they deserve. So I figured, why try and make a list all by myself and miss some players that deserve to be on the list?}

There have been many great guards that have played the great game of basketball. Here are the best in list form by 4 established writers on Bleacher Report. Me (TJ Zwarych), Michael Whittenberg, Joe Willett and Benjamin Weixlmann. Enjoy.

 Benjamin Weixlmann's List and Points:Reggie Miller

10.

^{Listen, I know I idolized Reggie growing up, but I think he deserves a spot on this list. He was quite possibly the finest outside shooter of our generation, and could pour in free throws with his eyes closed. Although he didn’t win an NBA championship, his legacy is cemented in the fact that he holds almost every NBA long-distance shooting record. In one of the most memorable sequences in NBA history, Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds to complete a miraculous playoff victory.}

^{Iverson, although he was one of the most fearless players ever, will unfortunately be remembered for his mouth. AI had the best crossover the game has seen, and could do whatever he wanted with the ball. AI is a player that you can say with confidence, "He can score at will". He’s just that good. He has averaged a whopping 27.9 ppg during his career, but will always be remembered for what he did with the media, instead of his on-court play.}

^{A 6’8" point guard with insane court vision? That could only be Magic Johnson. He was a five-time NBA champ with the Lakers, and averaged a career double-double with points and assists. His no-look passes reminded many of Maravich in his prime. "Showtime" as he was known, turned the Lakers into a dynasty, and one of the finest teams in NBA history. His unfortunate retirement due to HIV ended his career early, but Johnson was still considered a Top 50 Player of All-Time awarded in 1996.}
