Kevin Durant Kevin Durant is a site to behold when he takes that jump shot of his. His coach says that Kevin is always the first in the gym and the last one to leave it as well and that’s a big part of why he is so good at this game. And this young superstar is still training hard to make the starting line-up of this young thunder side which is always good when your star player is still working hard to improve.

Some people think it’s the drills he did when he was younger that got him to where he is today like instead of shooting with a basketball he shot a medicine ball at training to make him stronger and when it came to a game he could make he’s shots easier and that’s why he’s a go to man for his team and that also why he won the top scorer award two times in he’s short career.
A bit about the great Kevin Durant. Durant’s career started in 2007 when he was just 19 years old and that’s very impressive if you can make the NBA draft at just 19 years of age you must be very skill full and I must say he is. Durant was only 22 years old when he won his first NBA scoring champion award in 2010 in he’s 4th year of playing NBA basketball which is very impressive for this young man to get so early.
Who is the No.1 point guard Chris Paul Chris Paul is a great player especially he’s shooting because he is dangerous from nearly every where on the field so you always have to keep someone on him tight or your going to drop off and he’s going to lead he’s team to victory with ease just because your not manning up on him properly.

But that’s not all he is also one of if not the best people in the NBA to steal the ball away from you so you don’t even get a chance to shoot or pass because before you can do so he’s already taking the ball and is on his way down the court to score an easy layup or dunk on the fast break and that can keep players up at night thinking about how they’re going to stop him from dominating the game and turning it into a one man show with only him. It also makes the person who’s playing on him either stop thinking of the other things he needs to

do like pass or shoot or even find an opening because instead they’re two worried about him taking the ball off them. The other is that he puts himself out of the ▪ game so he stops calling for the ball even when he has a great chance. Paul was unlucky in the skills challenge in 2006 that he didn't win but he was going up against some of the best so it wasn't really he’s fault those people where Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Steve Nash and at least he didn't come last all the best in the future.
Paul’s also got a list of achievements showed below. NBA Rookie of the Year (2006) 4× NBA AllStar (2008– 2011) All-NBA First Team (2008) All-NBA Second Team (2009) All-NBA Third Team (2011) NBA AllDefensive First Team (2009) 2x NBA AllDefensive Second Team (2008, 2011) NBA Rookie First Team (2006)
Derrick Rose Derrick Rose is one of the best point guards in the NBA but is he the NO.1? And if not who is? This article is a must read if you are a true NBA fan. So who will it be? Rose is one of the NBA’s greatest dunkers out there which is difficult for a point guard to have that ability since he’s the smallest position on the court but somehow he still manages to find an opening and slam that ball into the basket and sometimes he also can manage to get a trip to the line for an and-1. Rose can also play the three ball if he wants to but usually he doesn’t have to in this Bulls team because of their great skill keeps them close to the opposition which makes you a great team if you can stay close and never drop off. Rose has also got great skill on and off the ball with the ability to take on players and when he doesn’t have the ball he can steal it off them and get the breakaway dunk and he can also get it to his destination without the ball getting picked off by the opposition with either a normal chest pass or a bounce pass. Rose’s height of 6.3 is smaller than all the other positions but a bit bigger than some of the other point guards out in the NBA. In the NBA you probably think the taller you are the better for you but not for point guards because the smaller you are the harder it will be for your opponent to steal the ball away from you and score off a turnover just because it’s a bigger bounce.
Rajon Rondo Rondo has made it into the pick for our search to find out who is truly the best point guard in the NBA this season and the next so let’s get on with it. Rondo is one of the greatest point guards because of he’s speed on offense which allows him to get past he’s opponent and have a shot at a layup or if someone comes off there man to stop him from taking it to the rim and scoring he can pass off to them if they’re in a good position to take a shot on he will get the assist. And Rondo can also get a foul draw make the shot and get a trip to the line for a chance to get the and-1 and if he doesn’t make it he gets two shots at the line and he’s so good with he’s free throws that he’s almost automatic from the line. Rondo is one of the best people in the assists department in the NBA which is a great skill especially when there are multiple ways that you can score points because he can find the best way to score and he can get the ball to them so they can finish off the play and get the points. Rondo’s skills are also quite good so he can eliminate players and leave the defence struggling to stop them from scoring because they’re a man down and cant stop leaving someone open for a pass and an open shot. Rondo has won plenty of awards to which include all of these ones listed below. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪
NBA Champion (2008) 2× NBA All-Star (2010–2011) 2× All-Defensive First Team (2010– 2011) All-Defensive Second Team (2009) All-Defensive Second Team (2009) NBA All-Rookie Second Team (2007
And he is still improving.
And this is the part where we announce who we think the winner is and the winner would be….. CHRIS PAUL but that’s just what we think what do you think about our choice?
NIKE BOUNCE 3.0 See how good they are even Michael Jordan used them back in he’s career as an NBA superstar and before these shoes you should have seen him he was terrible without the shoes and he this is what you will be like without them.
