Rivers talks about the top quarterback in NBA history, Harden is fourth, no suspense at the top

Scoring guards are generally the team's top scorers in the NBA. Their status is directly related to the outcome of the game, so it is very important, and generally speaking, teams with good shooting guards have a high record limit. Recently, Rivers Jr. talked about the top quarterbacks in NBA history on the show "Off Guard". Let's take a look at who they are!

Four: Harden

In Rivers Jr.'s view, Harden is the fourth shooting guard in NBA history, and even Iverson and West cannot rank in this position. As a player who has never missed the playoffs in his career, Harden has a very strong personal ability. During the Thunder, he was able to win the honor of the best sixth man as a substitute for the team. Later, after coming to the Rockets, Harden officially became a superstar in the league. The Rockets under his leadership have always been the Warriors' biggest opponent to rush out of the West.

, and Harden was also a regular visitor in the top five MVP list at that stage. In the 17-18 season, Harden led the Rockets to the league's first place, and he also won the honor of MVP. However, Paul was injured in the playoffs, so the team regretted losing to the Warriors in the tiebreak of the Western Conference Finals, which was also the closest Harden has to the championship in the true sense. Later, Harden won two scoring titles in 2019 and 20 years, but the Rockets' lineup became worse and worse, and he eventually left the Rockets. Although Harden had good teammates during the Nets and 76ers, he couldn't even make the Eastern Conference Finals. Currently, Harden plays in the Clippers, which is also his last chance to win the championship in his career. If he can successfully win the championship, his status will be even higher.

3: Wade

Wade is also a shooting guard at the NBA's historical level, and he is the fastest player at the peak of the list. He still has a very outstanding breakthrough speed with one meniscus in the entire league. His first step in breakthrough is extremely fast, and this is how the Flash's nickname comes from. Moreover, in the third season of his career in 2006, Wade was able to lead the Heat to the championship. In the finals, he forced himself to break up the Mavericks' defense line with his own breakthrough. He was also the first player to win the FMVP in the 2003 NBA draft.

Later, after Wade welcomed James and Bosh as partners, he also won two consecutive championships in 2012 and 2013, increasing his total number of championships to three times. His offense and defense and breakthrough scores are very critical. After all, Wade also had a nickname during his peak period, that is Jordan, who is five centimeters shorter, and his personal ability is at the historical level.

2: Kobe

Kobe has a very strong influence among the shooting guards, and he is also the most comprehensive player among the four major NBA points guards in the 2000s. He is a legendary 20 seasons in his entire career. At the beginning of his career, Kobe was mainly a substitute in the Lakers, but he relied on his personal efforts to secure the team's starting guard position. It was from that time that Kobe used his offense and defense to help the Lakers win three consecutive championships in 2000-02. His offense and defense on the outside are the top in the league, and his restraint is also the key to O'Neal being able to be in the inside.

Later, Kobe won the scoring champion twice in 2006 and 2007, and also contributed a feat of 81 points in a single game and 62 points in 3 quarters. His explosiveness in scoring is unique. As long as he finds his feel, it will be difficult for those few people to defend and limit his offense. Moreover, Kobe won the championship in a total of five times in his career, won FMVP twice, and entered the All-Star 18 times. He can be said to be a star among stars.

1: Jordan

Although Kobe is already very good, he still has to give Jordan the position of the best shooting guard in the NBA. After all, Jordan's personal performance is too exaggerated. He has only played for 15 seasons, but he can win the scoring title 10 times. This record is also a cliff-like lead to other players. He has only four active NBA scoring titles. Moreover, Jordan has five MVPs. He even won two honors in the 1987-88 season and even single season. He is a top player in the league on both offense and defense.

After entering the 1990s, Jordan led the Bulls to complete two three consecutive championships, defeating superstars such as Magic Johnson, Drexler, Barkley, Payton and Carl Malone. He won the FMVP six times. As long as he can reach the finals, he will definitely win the championship. This is Jordan's very exaggerated personal ability. In addition, Jordan has also successfully driven the development of the NBA through his own personal success. Now many players can sign contracts of over 100 million at any time and have to thank Jordan for paving the way forward. His influence can be said to be at the historical level, and he is worthy of being a Goat-level player in the NBA.
