    Dave Berri (Wages of Wins author) has a brief but interesting article showing the 50 best statistical seasons SGs have had since 77-78 at http://dberri.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/kobe-makes-pau-gasol-unhappy/. His stat is similar to PER, but doesn't reward bad shooters as much. Don't read it if you don't like stats (or are a big Kobe fan), but if you do, you'll appreciate seeing Clyde (and Fat Lever) show up so much.

    apples and oranges. Different times, different games. Clyde is a Hall of Famer, and Kobe is a rapist.

    Listen, son, don't be modifying my posts. And take the rapist's penis out of your mouth, you've got some pubes in your teeth.

    Glide had two problems that caused him to be underrated. First, he played in the boondocks of the NBA for his first 11 1/2 years. Second, Michael Jordan.

    Then why offer your admittedly uninformed opinion? If you never got to watch Clyde, then you missed out.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I think Drexler and Kobe (and Pippen, actually, even if he wasn't a shooting guard) were all pretty similarly great players. In the top 20-25 players of all-time range.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't agree. And Kobe is one of my favourite players in the league.

    I wouldn't put him ahead of any of Jordan, Chamberlain, Olajuwon, Abdul-Jabbar, Robertson, Magic, Bird, Russell, either Karl or Moses Malone, Duncan, West, Garnett or Robinson.

    So the very highest I would rank him is 15th. Then there are debatables.

    do you realize how silly you sound? Being young has it's advantages, but perspective isn't one of them.
