Skip disagrees Westbrook is the 2nd-best PG ever: 'I can't put him above Magic' | NBA | UNDISPUTED

After last night's 154-141 victory over the Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards head coach Scott Brooks called Russell Westbrook the second-best point guard in NBA history behind Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson. Westbrook scored 14 points, but also racked up 21 rebounds and 24 assists. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe discuss Brooks' comments and share each of their choices as the second greatest point guard of all time.

[@Supermariohoops24]

Oscar is 2nd only to Magic on my list and is in my top 10 alltime..... people that dont do their research to have been able to watch Oscar if they werent alive then, they just dont realize Oscar was different. Just as dominant as Wilt was for centers at the time was Oscar as a PG. And one stat that will never be broken again by Oscar...... finishing top 3 in the league in true shooting % for 10 consecutive seasons (his first 10 btw)..... a scoring champ, several assist titles, 6x over 30 PPG, the original Mr. Triple Double, a champion, and even the Bucks with Kareem and Dandridge fell out of the playoff picture after Oscar retired... the Royals/Kings couldnt even make the postseason from the time Oscar left until after he was retired... the highest win shares in his peak among PGs alltime by far, even on subpar casts which truly says more to his value and the lackluster management in Cincinnati at the time (they had a guy who openly admitted he knew nothing about basketball prior to the job hired as GM)..... can't take away from the Big O when he was never in great situations, and he made the most of what he had left in him in Milwaukee...... I'll always give credit to the Big O

[@mako4874]

russ numbers are great- but sometimes you can do too much- and hurt ur team in doing so. thats russ. being a great point guard is about what u dont do as much as what you do. i know its not the same- but i averaged 30 points our senior year as point. and we went 2-11. i blamed the team- but the truth is i wanted to score- but the year earlier i averaged 12- and we won the chip. took me years to realise and admit it- but i held our team back by holding the ball too much.

[@connorduke4619]

Bottom line: impressive that your point guard can rebound, but in stronger teams they have centres and forwards who take care of that. By the same token, the fact that the centre Wilt Chamberlain once lead the league in assists doesn't necessarily make him a better centre than Kareem who never did - as Kareem had Magic to take care of that.
