    Kyrie is the most overrated player in the NBA in my opinion.

    We need to root for Celtics and Sixers. We get HCA over them in Finals.

    I'm convinced that if you swapped Dame and Curry before they won championships, Dame would be the one that everyone says is the hands down best point guard, and Curry would be the underrated guy.

    With that said, Curry is the better shooter. I don't think you can really argue against that. But in terms of the actual point guard position? I think Dame is a better point guard.

    Well curry is injury prone but seems to be coachable. Kyrie and harden are headaches. Dame and curry at the top, dame's attitude is s3co d to none, no bs just deliverables

    Harden is not a point guard. He brings the ball up the court sure, but only out of narcissism.

    1. Steph Curry*
    1.Damian Lillard*
    3. Kryie Irving
    4. Chris Paul
    5. Russell Westbrook


    6. Kyle Lowry
    7. Ben Simmons
    8. Kemba Walker
    9. John Wall
    10. Jamal Murray
    11. Mike Conley

    * Though Stephen Curry may be a better three point shooter, Lillard surpasses him in other categories. Lillard is by far the better leader. Lillard is the better all around player.

    Top six in case Harden is not a PG.
    1. Harden
    2. Curry
    3. Dame
    4. Kyrie
    5. CP3
    6. Kyle Lowry (better defender than top 4).

    The elite guys on a league of their own are Steph and Dame. Harden too if you think he's a pg.

    Then there is a big drop before any of the other guys

    I don't get why some of you and ESPN list Harden @ PG. If he is a PG, what does that make Chris Paul?

    1. Steph
    2. Dame
    3. Kyrie
    4. Kemba -- his regular season stats are nearly exactly like Dame's.
    5. Westbrook

    I don't consider Harden a point guard. If he's a point guard, Durant's a point guard, Brandon Roy was a point guard, LeBron's a point guard, Giannis is a point guard ... everyone's a point guard. Chris Paul's the point guard for the Rockets. Harden and Gordon kind of interchange at the 2 and 3.

    Bringing the ball up court some of the time or being the ball-dominant iso player doesn't make a guy a point guard.

    If we're gonna beat Warriors/Rockets, we can beat Bucks too.

    I like Giannis too much, and hate Celtics to cheer for them.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Paul is a point guard too. D'Antoni has said a number of times since he became Houston's coach that Harden was his point guard. If the Blazers had traded for Paul while keeping Lillard, would that have meant Lillard stopped being a point guard? Harden definitely plays like a point guard in D'Antoni's system, IMO.

    I think, as a fan, I contribute to the Blazers success so I should be considered a point guard as well.

    We need to redefine positions then if a team can have two point guards.
