also magic is more of a forward in my opinion and not really a true pure point guard. Stockton is THE model point guard in the NBA. magic was good at everything so you can't really call him a pure point guard.
@dannysoya Magic was a true point guard in every sense of the word he was the all time assists leader when he retired and might still be had he never retired early at the age of 31... also just because he had the ability to play multiple positions doesnt mean he wasnt a true point guard.. he was just blessed with height and versatility.. chris paul maybe the best PG(Though i think its Deron Williams) in todays game is good at basically everything but he is also a true PG
hes an ass hole tho met him a few times but in the small town we live in i guess i dont blame him everyone trying to talk to him everywere he gos he gos to everyone of his kids ball game in walks around like he is an everyday person
Listen to Steve Nash! Nash was in his best years than, and he already knew who he wanted to be like. Nash is 37 now, and still is a true force of a player.
Top 4 point guards of all time in no particular order : Cousy, Magic, Stockton, Oscar. The fifth position is more of a challenge. In the running : Isiah, Nash, Payton, Kidd, Frazier. I have left Jerry West off the list because he is considered a shooting guard.
Another great point guard who often is not mentioned among the greats is Kevin Johnson, but he had a great stretch in the early '90s. An interesting thing about the assist statistic is that if a player makes a pass who is then fouled, and that player goes to the line and hits 2 free throws, the guy who made the pass does not get an assist. Yet, his pass effectively resulted in 2 points. And when I think of Stockton, I can't help but think how many assists he lost passing the ball to Ostertag.
It cant be argued with that John Stockton is the BEST point gaurd ever.

He would have been great as a defensive back in the NFL if he stuck to football.

KJ was great but he was more a "1st Drive-Slash-Score then Pass PG". He didn´t make others better like Stock did.
