Best NBA Guard

I don't think this question is that difficult to answer. Certainly not as difficult as the front court question you posed. Kobe Bryant is not only the right answer, but the only answer. I immediately disqualify Chris Paul and Deron Williams. Too young. Steve Nash is still good and great on some nights, but his better days are slowly slipping away. T-Mac is good but not great. He flashes brilliance but I just don't think he has greatness in him. Chauncey Billups isn't even in Kobe's league though its nice to mention him. Manu is interesting, but not really that close. The only player that I could see putting on Kobe's level from your list would be Dwyane Wade, but he's too damn fragile and unreliable (can we call him injury prone yet?).

Kobe is the best player in the league regardless of position.

I would have to say Kobe first and Paul second.

Kobe is hands down the best choice, nothing more needs to be added to that.

Paul on the other hand is the player on the rise who is not even close to his prime. He seems so far, to be a PG that has that pass first mentality, that is what could carry him to be a great PG in the near future.

Great thread BTW
