The 90s and the 2000s were the golden age for shooting gaurds. MJ and Kobe are the 2 best players ever and they were the most fun players to watch

That Jordan fade-away always looks as beautiful as my first time seeing it

The shooting guard now has to be able to shoot,playmake,pass,and drive

2019/20 season: 6"1 Donavan Mitchell ( SG ) = 24-ppg FG-45% 6"3 Bradley Beal ( SG ) = 30-ppg FG-46% Now imagine how this league will be dominate by 6"6 JORDAN ( SG ) or 6"7 Clyde Drexler ( SG ) with his crazy athleticism. 6"7 Reggie Miller ( SG ) will be God in this Soft league where he will be allowed to shoot from behind the arc as many times as he wants.

Shooting guard Sidney Moncrief was the inaugural DPOY in '83 and currently the only guard to ever win it twice (consecutively as well). Other SGs who've won the award are Alvin Robertson (all-time steals per game leader), Michael Cooper, & Michael Jordan. Center Mark Eaton (all-time blocks per game leader) is the only non-guard DPOY of the 80s, winning it twice.

He said he would be tight if it didn’t get 100k and it’s at 12k after 20 hrs. Tragic

Sounds to me like 2 things: - Height has alot to do with what you could and couldn't do as a guard & - Natural progression of time in how new things at the beginning have tons of room for growth, eventually only have room for refinement in the areas things have already been established. One criticism of something like say, a video game, take a first person shooter game, back in the infancy of the first person shooter genre like wolfenstein and doom, there was tons of room for growth; fast forward to now, and it's very hard to find new ways to make gameplay in a first person shooter game. Madden is another game that has had a hard time finding 'new' ways to present football. The last bonus thing to note is, honestly the human body can only typically do but so much, and only so much is legal in the game of basketball. What do I mean? After dribbling what can be done to expand that? After shooting, what can be done to expand that? Dunking thats been fully explored; the human body is finite so as time went along ofcourse things were going to 'stagnate' but nevertheless, good video.

I think one thing that is important to mention with regards to modern day shooting guards is the increasing prominence of the 3 and D player. Klay Thompson is possibly one of the best 3 and D players ever and has also had a hand in defining the modern shooting guard. Other players such as Danny Green come to mind, and I believe that NBA teams are searching for these sorts of role players when constructing their championship teams.

Can't wait for the forward videos!

Great video

I am really hyped for the evolution of the small forward and power forward

I would suggest adding videos in the icards as I wanted to watch the pg episode after, but I had to look for it. Some people might just be too lazy to do that. So I’d say make it easier for them, and you might just happen to get more views. Cool video tho

Cant wait for your next evolution video and how the small forward evolution from Havlicek to Bird to Lebron to Giannis/Simmons and Siakam

Great looking forward to the SF edition

definitely one of the most conscious and knowledgeable personalities in the NBA KZread community

I hope this vid does well because you obviously put a lot of effort into it

You make great videos for a Lakers homer.

Remember: Jordan played with George Gervin near the end of Gervin's career so that may have had some influence on some of his specific skills. But probably not.

Dennis Johnson was a PG. Downtown Freddie Brown was the SG for those sonics teams and Danny ainge and Gerald henderson were the sgs for those celtic teams

The iceman! He lives out in bulverde, TX. And when I worked at a grocery store called HEB I got to help walk his groceries out to his car and talk to him a bunch of times. It would blow my mind that almost no one knew who he was.

Where is the small forwards and Power forwards evolution? Because your videos are really good

Can you do the evolution of the sf next plzw

Can you do the forwards next

Funny how the shooting guard has sorta split into two seperate positions, a spot on the floor for a combo guard like Derrick White, or a spot on the floor for another wing like Herb Jones

Gotta be able to either create your own shot or be a SNIPER from 3

Iceman was a beast too

Less goooo LOW FOR DA WIN

From the ending of the video, every player is making three-pointers, even centers! Players such a Turner (Pacers), Jokic, Porzingis, Anthony Davis, Giannis, even Dwight Howard practice three-pointers... Maybe a half of the center shot three-pointers, and what is that? Centers who shot threes? Is like Brad Stevens says a couple years ago, I don't remember if he said that all of his players have to be point guards or shooting guards. The game has changed forever, big guys are learning to handle the ball, and dunk of course. All thanks to the 73/09 Warriors.

Earl Monroe was a shooting guard and one of the most innovative players ever to take the court. After being traded from the Bullets to the Knicks, he played alongside Walt Frazier, an unorthodox point guard.

You should make more historical videos

Do the power forward

My nigga LOW finally posted 💯💯💯

Loved video but just wished Klay wouldve gotten some shine. I feel like he's the ultimate 2 guard of today. Doesn't create much off the dribble at all but can move off ball so well. Doesn't need much room, doesnt take many steps, and causes alot of attention from defense. Can play on any team the has an offense full of movement and/or has a primary ball handler and play maker. And plays defense.

PLEASE POST MORE

I heard on your podcast you thought this vid wasnt going to do great so Im going to try to prove you wrong

A lot of the "evolving" , in all positions, over the decades is caused by the rule changes. Harden's style in particular is designed to take advantage of the new rules regarding hand checking and travelling. Shaq's dominance caused rule changes that evolved the modern big man into emulating guard behavior.

7:33 George dude be lookin like Danny green low key

Low should do a mock draft, idk if he’s into the draft tho

It’s weird how much I love David thompson even tho I’ve never actually seen him play

Waiting for small forward history

The only position that hasn’t changed is the small forward and now every other position is just also a small forward

6"7 Clyde Drexler ( SG ) is the most underrated player ( SG ) in history.
