I 'memba.
I thought your declaration was a bit premature myself, but you were just ahead of the curve.
Props for recognizing greatness early.

Dude has averaged 8+ assists once in his career yet is already the 2nd best ever. I assume they're talking about a traditional PG. I don't know. I'm not trying to get baited in all these hot takes. Let them cook in this Dubs circlejerk
So all you have to do is average over 8apg to be considered one of the best pgs? Got it.
Kendall Marshall and Grevis Vasquez knocking on that top 10 door.
Not like leading your team to 2 Chips, winning 2 mvps....while being one of the most efficient players of all time and destroying multiple records (team and individual) along the way count for anything.
But averaging 8+ assist per game matters because....Raw numbers

Mark Jackson doesn't get enough credit. He saw the vision too, he took the chains off Curry from day one.

Zeke should be #2 but he gets the disrespek that Kareem gets as a big man cause they weren't likable figures.

For a ring that is meaningless? I can't tell if that was a serious answers. So you are basically saying that championship rings are meaningless? Does that include all sports too like the super bowl ring, World Series rings, etc.?

Agree. Wouldn't hear a peep out of me if you claimed he was #2

I would say the inverse about Isiah Thomas.
Steve Nash is third in my book. After that things become a wash.

Absolutely. To think he hung it up at 32 :x
Zeke was an all star from day 1. He should've 3peated. That Jabbar call was phony

him and john stockton stay getting overlooked in PG conversations.
but i mean, can we really be surprised that a bunch of 20 and early 30 year olds are forgetting about PGs who peaked between the late 80s and mid 90s?

That's why you study the history of the game to get a better grasp so you don't end up awwsomeing everything and thinking everything that is hot now is the best. My dad was a huge Pistons fan (lived in Detroit) and he's the one who introduced me to the game and actually got me onto the Lakers cause watching them VHS tapes and see how much of a savage Zeke was as well as how great Magic was.

Strictly as a player and ingnoring team accomplishments, Kevin Johnson was better than Zeke

My earliest memories are also watching 84' NBA Playoffs with the Boston and Lakers on those 8 HR VHS Recording Tapes..
Favorite NBA Video growing up though was the 93' Bulls Three Peat Video
Used to blast some Penny Ford and play b-ball in the backyard all day back in the Nine-Four'
