Lists!!!!!!!!!!!

Lists are always real fun to make. We really wanted to make one so we figured we would start with basketball because the season is just hitting stride. Where better to start than with the floor generals. We decided to make a top 5 point guard list that had the players we felt were at this point in time the five most effective. And then another top 3 with the players we felt were the future of the position. The players that show the flashes of special things to come. Basically the key word is potential. So let's get into it...

Top 5 NBA PG's
1. Chris Paul- No real surprise here. Chris is one of the youngest guys on either list and has already accomplished so much. He led New Orleans deep into the playoffs, almost took home the MVP, and outplayed every point guard in the world during the Olympics.
2. Deron Williams- Deron is right up there with Chris in terms of accomplishments. To me they are both playing real well and putting up similiar numbers but Chris gets the edge because of the wins and overall potential. After Deron and CP there's a significant drop off.

3. Tony Parker- At first I tried to aruge Tony's place on this list but then really started to think about all he does. It's easy to say he's only good because of Duncan, Manu, & Bowen but the truth is he's the one that makes them look good. You can't argue wins either. Three Championships and the guy's only 26. He also has the best looking wifey around.

4. Chauncey Billups- The mans been to the playoffs every year since the 99-00 season. He's proven that he can win and that he's clutch. He wants the ball in his hands and rarely makes mistakes (Ranks #2 in the NBA in Assists Per Turnover(4.05). You know what your going to get every night with Chauncey.

5. Steve Nash- Nash can still hang with any of the guys on this list despite being the oldest (34 yrs). Besides winning a championship he really doesn't have anything else to prove. Two time NBA MVP, six time All-NBA selection, and six time all-star.

Top PG's For The Future
1. Derrick Rose (20 yrs)- It's easy to tell that he's going to be something special. He's just on another level athletically. Once he gets used to the NBA game and all it's ins and outs watch out for him, he's going to be scary.
2. Rajon Rondo (22yrs)- I really think you could make an argument for Rondo to be at the top of this list but it is after all mostly based on potential so you really have to give it to Derrick. In no way is that a knock on Rondo though. He's really come into his own and is starting to terrorize opposing pg's with his lockdown D and ability to get to the hole. I hear all the haters saying that he has the big 3 so of course he's going to be good but I really think he would be ballin like this anywhere.
3. Devin Harris (25yrs)- Devin has been in the league for a couple years now so it can be debated whether or not he really deserves to be here. If it weren't for his play with the Nets I really wouldn't have considered him. It seems like he really has the freedom to play his game in New Jersey. You can't pump a guy up for the play of a few games but it seems like every time I watch Devin play he's better than the last time.
