    I tried to pick players who people legitimately thought were the single greatest ever at that position, not Top 5 great. Iceman was great but no one ever calls him the very best SG ever. That's why the omission.

    Then this poll should be:

    1. Michael Jordan
    2. Michael Jordan
    3. Michael Jordan
    4. Michael Jordan
    5. Michael Jordan

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Bryant, Iverson and Drexler have never legitimately garnered any support for the single greatest shooting guard ever, let alone Maravich who was an amazing college player but not a particularly great NBA player.

    West was only called the greatest shooting guard prior to Jordan. So if your criterion was "legitimately considered the greatest ever at one time" then only Jordan and West would qualify.

    Then why even put Allen Iverson or Pete Maravich up there? Like I said:clap:, a better thread would have been 2nd best SG of all time, as Michael Jordan is the clear cut best SG of all time - check that - best player of all time.

    Thanks! I loved it when he dunked on the Celtics regularly. The play toward the end of the video where he went through and around Bird, McHale, Walton, and Ainge was sweet.

    And this was hilarious:
