Top Players by Position (Shooting Guards)

To continue with this series in which i talk about the best players ever by position, i´m about to classify the three best shooting guards ever to touch a basketball.

3- Dwyane Wade: ever since arriving in the NBA in 2003 (alongside Carmelo, Bosh and James), Wade became the franchise player of the Miami Heat. A decade later, he has three championships, one finals MVP and an All-Star MVP. His best season was in 2008-09, when he averaged more than 30 points per game. However, his best performance came in the 2006 NBA Finals, where he led the Heat to the title against the Dallas Mavericks in six games. As of now, he´s going for his fourth ring this year, only that now he´s playing second fiddle to LeBron.

2-Kobe Bryant: he came into the league as a cocky and extremely talented player in 1996, one of the best drafts ever (Iverson, Allen, Nash...). After 18 seasons and almost 36 years old, Kobe has win 5 NBA titles, one MVP and is known as one of the best scorers ever, including his 81 point game against the Raptors in 2006. The best thing about Kobe is his competitive drive, his sheer talent and his insane work ethic. His style is as simila to MJ as it gets, and he is considered one of the best players ever.

1- Michael Jordan: MJ is considered by most the GOAT. He did it all during his 15 year career. Six NBA titles, five MVPs, two gold medals and the most efficient basketball player ever. He won his six championships in a span of eight years. His best teammate, Scottie Pippen, often outlined MJ´s competitive drive and hate towards losing. He never lost an NBA Finals and he is the reason why many greats retired ringless (Reggie Miller, Malone, Stockton, Ewing, Barkley...). His stats are nothing short of spectacular as well: 30.1 points per game, six rebounds and five assists.
