The top 10 peak pgs.
I think this deserves its own thread. IMO these are the top 10 peak pgs.
1- Oscar Robertson(1961-1964)-in the best player ever discussion averaged a triple double over a 4 year stretch. Averaged a ridiculous 30-10-10 during that streak. He was a freak.
2- Magic(1987-1990)- Also in the best player ever discussion, his name says it all Averaged roughly 22-12 and 6.8 during that 4 year stretch.
3-Isiah(1984-1987)-the horrible gm/coach that he is shouldnt make people forget the absolute stud player that he was. Averaged 21-11 and 4 during that period. Was great for a long time around that as well.
4. KJ(1989-1992)- at his peak he was just a tick below isiah at his. He averaged roughly 21 - 11- 3.8. How he isnt in the HOF is beyond me.
5-Tiny archibald-(1972-1974) His 34 - 11 season in 1973 is one of the most amazing seasons ever and he had one great and one solid season right around it.
6- Gary payton-(1999-2002)He averaged roughly 22 - 9 and 5 for a 4 year period from 1999 to 2002. There isnt much of a dropoff from his peak to really good years as he had 7 more years that were almost equally as good. Not to mention that he was the premier defensive pg in the league. Sadly his inepitude recently while hanging on for a ring has made people forget the absolute monster he used to be.
7-Tim Hardaway(1991-1993) Averaged about 22.5 10 and 4. Wow i knew he was good but didnt realize he was that good.
8-Fat Lever(1987-1990)- For a 4 year stretch until he got hurt he was basically a poor mans magic. Averaged 19 pts 7.5 assists and 9 boards during that stretch. He was very good.
9- Bob Cousy(1952-57) Averaged basically 20 -7 and 6. Gets a pass on the shooting percentage because everyone shot poorly then.
10-Stockton(1989-1991) Averaged a pretty remarkable 17-14 on 52% shooting. BTW the year before he shot a ridiculous 57.4% from the field.
Honorable mention-Allen Iverson(2004-2006)I know he isnt a pure pg and i took off some points for that or he would be higher but averaged roughly 30-7-4 and 2 steals during this 3 year stretch plus he had another 4 year run that he averaged roughly 30-5-4-2.5 in. I know alot of people hate him but the guy is a stud. I took him out because he isnt really a pg but if he were he would definitely be top 10.
Steve Nash(2004-2006) Best 3 consecutive years put up a solid 16-10. Sorry but thats not enough to get on this list. Jason Kidd(2002-2004) Very good player who averaged roughly 16-9 and 7 during this stretch.
Im sure there are some others but these are the ones i found and i think overall they will stand up pretty well.
