It's a push between the two for me.
Magic was a much better scorer but Kidd is a much better defender.
Magic also had the benefit of playing with at least one Hall of Famer throughout his career.
Kidd got VC......
Also
By rule I personally tend to ignore players from before the 70's
stat inflation, poor talent spread, less rules and such and I generally believe that with their skill set, they couldn't even start in today's league

Hate to disagree forum, but Kidd is no where near Magic's league.

magic is #1
but currently, i think Steve Nash is the best point guard in the NBA.
i mean come on! he nearly beat Magic's playoff assist record last year.

Nash may be the best in the NBA currently, but 3 seasons doesn't warrant being mentioned as one of the best of all time. His career doesn't come close to Kidd's or Magic's. I would have them as #1 and #2. Magic then Kidd.

were not disagreeing. I agree that Magic is far above him, I think all the guys I mentioned are above Kidd. By saying he is up there I just meant Kidd is one of the best PG's of all time (meaning I would put him some where in the top 10) but definitely not THE best.

gary payton was one of the best. one of the best defenders at the pg position ever in my opinion. he and shawn kemp were a ery dynamic pairing.

There are people who believe Nash is better then Payton?
Yeah...........................
at shooting.
Let's put it this way, there were times in GP's career where he was considered better then Stockton (granted these were very rare occurances, but they still happened)
how could anyone think Stockton lite, pass the defense, is better?
