With the advent of the small-ball era, the positioning of players has become very blurred, and a large number of top quarterbacks have chosen to play small forwards, or even the position of large forwards, which has indirectly led to the so-called "withering of the quarterbacks".
Before the advent of the small-ball era, the 00s were undoubtedly the heyday of the quarterbacks, and although Jordan was at the end of his career at this time, playing only two seasons for the Wizards, a large number of high-quality young points had emerged.
Around this topic, the US media "FW" selected the top ten quarterbacks in the 00s, of which Maddy only ranked 4th, and Wade ranked 2nd, and the top of the list was deserved.
Tenth place: Michael Reed
Reid has won a three-game and an All-Star in his career, and Reid's ability is grossly underestimated due to being in the small-ball city Bucks.
Despite serious injuries early in his career, Reid maintained an excellent offensive performance, playing a history-level smooth projection and excellent personal defensive ability.
He averaged 19 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, giving him the ability to reach the top 10.
Ninth place: Roy
In those 10 years, Roy has won a second team, a third and three All-Stars, and if it weren't for injuries, he would have every chance of getting a higher ranking.
The 23-year-old Roy managed to reach the All-Star, showing incredible impact on the offensive end, as well as a big heart that was beyond ordinary people at key moments, and the injury destroyed everything.
Eighth place: Hamilton
In these 10 years, the Mask Man has won a championship and 3 All-Stars, which seems to be not gorgeous enough, but in the civilian Pistons, Hamilton is an indispensable part.
He is a historical shooter, with extremely silky projection ability, and always running, which is a huge test for the defender's cardiopulmonary function.
Seventh place: Ray Allen
As one of the best three-point shooters in history, Ray Allen has amassed a lot of honors over the course of a decade, including one second- selection, one third-time, eight All-Stars and one championship.
But people often overlook Ray Allen's performance in defense and other aspects because of his projection ability, especially his beautiful cross-cutting steps and quick breakthrough first steps, which are the keys to his success.
Sixth place: Ginobili
As the Spurs' super six, Ginobili has won the championship three times, the best third team, and the super sixth man in the past 10 years.
Although he was not the team's starter, he was an indispensable soul of the Spurs, with an exaggerated plus-minus of +16.6 per 100 rounds during this period, and he would have earned a higher ranking if he had not sacrificed his starting position for the team.
Fifth place: Carter
As one of the four quarterbacks of the year, Carter was selected as an All-Star seven times in 10 years and won the best second team once.
He showed top physical talent in the game, completing exaggerated dunks such as 360°, tomahawk, separator, folding and so on again and again.
This also made the outside world overlook his projection ability, as well as the exaggerated level of finishing, if it were not for the poor personal leadership honor, he would have been ranked higher.
Fourth place: Maddy
Also one of the four quarterbacks, Maddy was at the peak of the 10-year period and accumulated a lot of honors.
These include 2 scoring kings, 1 fastest improver, 2 first-team, 3 second-team, 2 third-team, and 7 All-Stars.
Maddy was omnipotent during this period, he was a quarterback comparable to Kobe Bryant, but unfortunately injuries had begun to slowly increase, resulting in the team failing to achieve enough honors.
Third place: Iverson
Iverson was also omnipotent during this period, at the peak of his career, and also accumulated a large number of personal honors.
Includes 1 MVP, 3 scoring kings, 3 steal kings, 2 first-team, 2 second-team, 1 three-time and 10 All-Star.
In terms of personal honor and ability, Iverson should have been in a higher position, but without a championship, he had to be relegated to third.
Second place: Wade
Wade pushed Iverson to second place on the list for a straightforward reason, as he led the team to championships and delivered incredible performances in the finals.
In those 10 years, he won 1 championship, 1 FMVP, 1 scoring champion, 2 first-team, 2 second-team, 1 third-team, 3 defensive second-team and 6 All-Star.
He played incredibly well on both ends of the floor, and during that time, he was an absolute core of the Heat, impressed with his agile pace and super-fast pace.
First place: Kobe Bryant
There is no doubt that the top spot belongs to Kobe Bryant, who is also the second-placed point guard in the history of the league after Jordan.
During those 10 years, Bryant dominated the league, winning 4 championships, 2 Finals FMVP, 1 MVP, 2 scoring champions, 8 first-team, 1 second-team, 1 third-team, 7 defensive first-team, 2 defensive second-team, and 10 All-Stars.
From the data side, it is not difficult to see that whether it is from personal honors or team performance, Kobe Bryant is well-deservedly the first place in the list.
