Number Nine: Bob Cush
Cusi is an ancient god, he entered the NBA in 50 years, when the NBA, people dribbled the ball in a very simple way, and Cusi pushed the dribbling to a new height, carried forward the dribble behind the back, and was called the "point guard originator".
Kushi's organizational ability was far ahead of others in his era, with a total of 8 assists, and in that era of big men, Kusi was able to become the main player of the team and mastered a lot of balls, which shows how strong Kusi's ability is. Compared with modern players, Cusi may not be strong, but Cush has promoted the development of basketball, and his ability is far beyond his time, and it is also possible to be selected as one of the top ten point guards in history.
Eighth: Nash
Nash's basketball IQ is very high, but his physical condition is too general, and his body is not good enough, which brings a lot of obstacles to Nash, nash survived for four years to find his own way of expression on the NBA field.
After entering the peak period, Nash played a very good personal performance, he led the Suns to play the famous "7 seconds attack", so that the Suns from a weak brigade to a strong team, this achievement made Nash win the MVP, Nash's performance in the regular season is wonderful, but his performance in the playoffs is not as good as the regular season, and he did not win the championship, which is a flaw in Nash's career.

Fourth: Stephen Curry
Curry's physical condition, after being tortured by injuries, is very respectable, and Curry's achievements after a blockbuster are very admirable, and he has made himself the strongest pitcher in history by making a three-pointer.
Curry is not only a great player, he is also an epoch-making player, he with his own inexplicable performance to make people change the impression of the three-pointer, the three-point ball into the mainstream scoring means, the "small ball era" came, Curry's personal ability is strong, also contributed to the development of NBA basketball, Curry in the fourth place is deserved, but also very reasonable.

Jerry West is not very athletic, and his height of 1.88 meters is not very tall, but with a one-handed shot, West let the Lakers select him with the eye of the list, and Since then West has begun a 14-year NBA journey.
West's shooting is very accurate, his organizational ability is very strong, his scoring ability is stronger, 14 years of NBA career has 4 seasons of average points per game more than 30 points, and, West's defense is good, many times selected for the best defensive team, it can be said that West is an offensive and defensive passing guard, but unfortunately his Lakers were restrained by the Celtics, West only won a championship, but by personal ability, West ranked third, there is no controversy at all.
Second: Oscar Robertson
Robertson is very talented, after entering the NBA, his performance is very good, whether it is assists, points, or rebounds, Robertson is very good, it can be said that Robertson is the first all-round guard in the NBA.
Robertson has achieved a lot in the NBA, got 6 assist kings, 8 times was selected for the best team, got a lot of triple-doubles, held the triple-double king for many years, and also won the championship ring, but Robertson's performance in the playoffs, not as dominant as in the regular season, which makes Robertson only have one championship ring, Robertson ranks second in history, or some controversy.
First: Magic Johnson
Johnson is the other of the point guards, he has the height of a big forward, but also the vision and technology of a defender, playing as a defender on the court is very effective, can drive a team, because of this Johnson, the Lakers will have a "showtime".
Johnson's personal ability is very strong, he has won the assist king, proved his scoring ability, three times elected MVP, proved Johnson's ability to lead the team, three times elected FMVP, it reflects Johnson's dominance, in the history of the NBA, there are very few players who can win these three awards, and Johnson still gets it many times, Johnson's strength allows him to be called the greatest point guard in history.
