Who is the 2nd greatest shooting guard of all-time?

[Showtime]

lol at Jerry West being better than Kobe Bryant. Are u freaking serious?

Educate yourself.

[InspiredLebowski]

Why isn't he better??

Because he thought West's only claim to fame was being a GM.

I Hate Kobe starting right now....


Marvin Williams>>Kobe

(As long as Kobe doesn't finish infront, im cool)....

It has to be between West, Gerving, Drexler, McGrady and Bryant although im my opinion i would choose Adrian Dantley ..he would have owned the league playing that position. He owned the league offensively at the SF

Using that logic, I can make the argument that John Havlicek is the 2nd best SG ever.

Why isn't he better??

Because he played in a weaker era. Point, blank, period.

Would west be an all-star in this current NBA. I think not.

With #1 being Michael of course. Who is 2nd?

Kobe? Jerry West? Drexler? Gervin? Iverson?

Discuss.

Mike is only slightly better than Ice because of his defense. If we went by O only Ice wins. George Gervin was the purest shooter the league has ever had. Too bad he never got past the Lakers. What the defense was allowed to do in this era vs now is rediculous. If Ice had played in the "do not touch the guards" era of basketball he would have added at least 10 points per game to his career average.

So, Jordan is only slightly better than Gervin because of defense?

I am not the first to say so nor will I be the last. During the finals a couple of years back the boys at ABC covered this and rated Gervin as the best shooter ever in the NBA just above Mike. They did say the Mike would be the better overall because of his defense. George was at Chicago for Mike's Rookie season but I don't remember ever seeing them on the floor at the same time. Would have enjoyed that greatly. Hardly anyone here is old enough to have watched it themselves and therefor have a poor baseline to judge. I am fortunate to have had a Dad who loved basketball and got to go to my first Spurs game in 1975 (vs the Pacers).

AT this point Jerry west,,, many finals and he played at a high level too.. Not his fault his teammates choked.. His numbers in all facets are better than Kobe's and he never was given the ability to play with Wilt in his prime. Still Kobe if he wins two more titles and keeps playing at a high level takes this one for his ability to play and win titles...

this is such a crap out.. Today's era is weak since they are no true Super STAR CENTERS AND the perimter players are given a freeway to the basket...
