The point guard is one of the NBA's most critical positions on the pitch. Shooting guard, little forward, power forward, and concentration are all of tremendous value, but a point guard is the one who can lead a squad on top of their competitors.

The point guard is supposed to be the pitch general. The time, pace, and flow of offense is the one that defines and makes the offense work. Offenses are far more rhythmic than a squad that depends on a shooting power and a small forward to lead the action without a spokesman who has a responsibility for seeing the court than anyone else on the court.

A vast number of the finest athletes have finally earned a spot in the Top 15 Point Guards of All-Time, judging by their individual success, cumulative matches, and how the teams they have participated in have affected them.

15. Jason Kidd

Kidd was a real monster and in first place in the real triple challenges. He was a mighty point guard with excellent court vision, safety, and rebounding capability.

He took the Brooklyn Nets to two NBA Finals, but he captured one with the Dallas Mavericks at the age of 38. Kidd is one of the greatest guardians to send gratitude to the court ever.

14. Gary Payton

Gary Payton was undoubtedly a top-two defensive watchman. He joined the Defensive Ligue as his specialization and could lock virtually any point guard every night. His offensive game was also reworked, including a challenging mid-range jumper and a range.

He belonged along with Shawn Kemp to a good Seattle SuperSonics team but could win an NBA championship with Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat in 2006. While Payton was a player for 2006, without Payton's leadership and defensive presence, the heat would probably not have hit its peak.

13. Derrick Rose

Injuries robbed the youngest MVP in NBA’s history, of a better position on this list. From pace, explosivity, to score capacity, Rose had all at his clutch.

Rose was really going to be a top-five point guard, but wounds were short of that. Rose was at its finest easily an all-time top 15 point guard, but he deserves his spot. Nevertheless, he is actually a valuable player and is on track to make another All-Star Squad.

12. Nate Archibald

Nate Archibald was one of the most effective players in the series. His numbers and his impact on the game are the stuff of legends, particularly offensively. Archibald was the first player to direct and support the league in both regions, effectively as the entire offensive kit.

Archibald's pace and ingenuity, even though he was just 6 ft 1 in, was used for reliably putting the ball in the hole. Tiny ranks one of the strongest guards ever in the offensive total supremacy.

11. Tony Parker

In the point guard role, Parker is superbly done and a real career. In his peak, Parker could average 25 a night and barely ever made poor basketball decisions. Much of this was attributed to the incredible scheme of Gregg Popovich, Parker's MVP in the Final and multi-NBA champions deserve recognition for being part of an everlasting Spurs Dynasty.

The swift Frenchman will definitely be in the Hall of Fame and is one of the best players in NBA history to attack the rim and avoid contact.

10. John Stockton

Stockton may be one of NBA's best helpers. He is the absolute expert of the ‘pick and roll’ leading all players in assistance and steals all of their moments.

Also, Stockton was a great sniper and defender who practically did not have real court vulnerability. He would have been at the top if he were to win a title or two of the NBA.

9. Bob Cousy

Bob Cousy was known to be primarily an enthusiastic player, who was the first all-star player and the dominating Boston Celtics' squad player with Bill Russell and K.C.

Cousy led the league for 8 years in a row and was also one of the best pure scorers. The center and heart of the Celtics at the time was in many ways, Cousy. After leading the league in helping in the Bill Russell rookie season, Cousy has also received the MVP award.

8. Russell Westbrook

Westbrook has the highest possible engine in this ranking, he is a superstar scorer, rebounder, and playmaker. The feat was achieved three times by Westbrook. He is 9-time All-Star and received the 2016-2017 NBA MVP Award.

It may also be the most athletic because it gives it a leading edge. However, his productivity and his bad decision-making often hinder his mention, at least for now, with the top point guards.

7. Chris Paul

Chris Paul is an immense point guard, and if he could win the NBA title, he would easily earn a higher place on this list. He still has some years, but his days are multiple at the age of 35. Paul will trap you on a single foot, and with scoring and throwing over this offensive end.

His game's size was the only knock, but he did with his handles a sublime pace and blast. Paul is also defensively dominant, making nine all-defense teams and leading the floor.

6. Oscar Robertson

Oscar was the original triple-double king and, regardless of position, one of the greatest players in NBA history. He filled up the stat sheet, except Russell Westbrook, as no other guard in the past did, and all was well on the floor.

He's been one of the best point guards ever, his statistics and NBA Finals performance. In the regular season and postseason, Robertson played 1,126 games in all and scored three times in 16.8 percent.

5. Isiah Thomas

Superstar Isiah Thomas was an incredible figurehead and role model, and we have never seen a little guy as one of NBA's competing forces. His mid-range scores and ability to attack and finish in the basket were genuinely excellent.

He was a top three-point guard of all time with the top three of his two NBA titles with one MVP Finales. His usual numbers of 20.4, 8.9, and 2.1 postseason steals are unprecedented in the history of the league.

4. Walt Frazier

Frazier was a New York legend and a point guard sensation. He took the courts flash, beauty, scoring, and conquest for a place heavily considered back then.

Frazier was a good-looking Hall of Fame star and a very iconic courtyard player. He is also the fourth biggest guard in the world to play the game.

3. Steve Nash

While it may look surprising to put Steve Nash in the top 10 ahead of Chris Paul's and Jason Kidd's likes, Nash was a two-time MVP with zero offensive vulnerabilities.

He was a better shooter and has a larger range of passings compared to both Kidd and Paul. Nash could strike the whole offense on his own and nail shots with a 50-40-90 reliable clip.

2. Stephen Curry

Ever since his introduction in 2009, Stephen Curry has become one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. Though Curry's career has not ended, it can definitely be said that he is the second-best guard ever.

Curry has won three NBA titles and has proven himself the best sniper in NBA history since he became a super-star and two-time MVP. The possibility that he can potentially win another NBA title can only add to this. Such successes cannot be overlooked.

1. Magic Johnson

Magic is still the best guard of points, and it's not very close. He was an overly big guard with perfect guarding abilities, including shooting and dribbling.

He was one of the best in the league on his five NBA title rings and was not stopped on a break. Thanks to his successes and advancing skills as a major point guard, Magic places top of the list.
