NBA fever is in full effect. No team has thrown in the towel yet (except maybe the Nets), and we’re in the midst of a very competitive season.

Let’s take a moment out of our day to recognize the top five point guards in the NBA right now. This analysis will have everything to do with these players and their value today, not a career evaluation.

Is your favorite foundation on the list? Well, let’s take a look and see.

5. Rajon Rondo. The young point guard has steadily improved with each year, and is currently among the top in steals per game in the entire league and top 3 in assists per game. Both of those stats are everything you want in a point guard, and the fact that he shoots over 50% from the field is just icing on the cake. Rondo is a true talent that should continue to develop his game.

4. Chauncey Billups. Some people may have a problem with this pick, but all you need to do if you doubt this man’s value is look at the Denver Nuggets before they acquired him and the team’s improvement after Billups joined the Nuggets last year. last. Denver was typically a team that would fold after the first round of the playoffs, but Billups’ presence led a dangerous new team to the NBA Finals last season.

3. Jason Kidd. This eternal wonder has not slowed down yet! He is 36 years old and somehow still playing practically as well as he did ten years ago. Kidd is one of the main reasons for the Mavericks’ success, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him stick around for another five years, playing effective basketball in the process.

2.Steve Nash. Another timeless wonder, the 35-year-old hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down since his MVP stints three and four years ago. Nash leads the league in assists and his Phoenix Suns are once again playing great basketball this season, largely thanks to Nash’s effectiveness.

1.Chris Paul. Man, this boy has talent. The 24-year-old seems to improve his game every season and can do almost anything he wants on the basketball court. An exceptional ball handler, he is also one of the best defenders in the NBA and definitely the best at point guard. Chris Paul is a legend in the making.
