He really critiqued Curry for “only having one chip by him self” but then puts kidd and mentions his one ring but we all know that was dirk🤦♂️
wouldn’t really say “that was Dirk” becasue Dirk didn’t carry them in the finals, they played well top to bottom
@@100ovrbatmanbron7 kidd was a role player on that team , the ring should not matter for any argument
@@joaobrito2653 true
What about Magic. He had Kareem
Magic and oscar ddnt win without kareem…
I’m surprised he didn’t have Bob Cousy as his number 1. 😆
Said the same thing
Same, I was certain that he would.
Put some DAM RESPECT ON BOB COUSYS NAME , HIM AND J STOCKTON CONTROLLED THE GAME WITH THIER GREAT MINDS IQ , THEY OUTSMARTED THE BROTHERS WHO WHERE MORE GIFTED PHYSICALY , WE PLAY THE GAME FROM THE NECK UP
@@jblaze1336 he outsmarted plumbers and firemen
@@jblaze1336 interesting that you only named white guards
outside of leaving CP3 out of his discussion, the most laughable thing Mad Dawg said was downplaying Curry by saying he only won 1 title by himself then having Kidd over him cus he won 1 out of 3 finals and the 1 that he did win wasn’t even by himself. He was riding the coattails of Dirk. Even Jason Terry was more impactful
No. JT was not more impactful then Kidd. People really will just say anything.
And as great as Oscar was, he also never won without Kareem. Neither him or kidd where the best player when they won. Curry was the best on his team in 2015
Kidd did not ride Dirk's coattails. He was just as important to that team, especially during their championship run. Yes, he was the 4th or 5th most important player on the team, but that should not take away from him. Also, Kidd's Finals runs with the Nets occurred when the East was at a nadir competitively. Finally, NO PLAYER WINS BY THEMSELVES. THAT'S NOT HOW BASKETBALL WORKS.

"Bob Cousy was an absolute legend, a literal blur on the court"
-the firefighters who guarded him in 1954, probably 🤣😂
Never shot over 40% for a season in his career
Before lasik
@@nathanchristensen716 not a good argument, 50s & 60s % were down across the board because style of play and less developed shot mechanics...
@@heatnix3223 “less developed shot mechanics” sure seems like an argument to not be better then Chris Paul
Only the end of the bench guys were firefighters lol and that was only because the NBA didn't pay enough at the time
I think Jason Kidd is underrated. But Mad Dog just overrated him here 😭
massively
He did anything to keep cp3 out lmao
@@xavierb9061 Yea but he isnt better than Curry
He’s in the mix for 5 with CP3, Nash and Stockton.
jason kidd led two inferior nets teams to finals. and they lost against two dynasties.
Stephen A and Mad Dog were made for each other
💯
🤦🏾
💯
We miss Skip though :)))
YES.
One thing I noticed with the point guard discussion, nobody accounts for the defensive end. Arguably the greatest defender to ever play point guard doesnt even get an honorable mention. Gary Payton a 9x 1st team all NBA defender with a defensive player of the year award. He led his team to the finals with a 64 win record, just couldnt beat Jordan. Definitely top ten in my book
I agree he surely a top 10. But I don’t think top 5. In my opinion anyway.
Gary Payton Was a great defender but he’s not Top 5, certainly Top 10
if they cared about defense player of the year. Dwight woulda been in the top 75
He definitely top 10 but it’s hard to throw him in the top 5. But I agree with you
Gary Payton not even better then Westbrook.. stop it
I'M IN TEARS EVERYTIME MAD DOG SAYS BOB COUSY! 🤣🤣🤣
BWAWB CEWSY
I spit out my juice 💀💀💀😭
He was incredible....you may look a this highlights and laugh at his hook shots and one handed shots but stop and think for a second just how difficult those shots are to pull off....those were elements of the game then and he mastered them....had he been playing today he would of adjusted his style. Bob is arguably the greatest passer of all time...give him his respect. Plus, Bob was doing all of this without the trainers, coaches, resources, etc. that all of today's players have....Bob was ahead of his time.
The GOAT according to Mad dog
Man I may not agree with his takes but Mad Dog is entertaining😂😂
love his energy
Dude's a Boomer all the way, but he's unapologetic about it and that energy makes it fun.
Also I would slide Curry to 2 or 3, but I would say that's actually a solid list he has.
But damnit he's got to be trolling with Cousy haha.
Also Jerry West is a 2 guard, no one thinks of him as a PG. I thought Stephen A was going to call him a hypocrite for Nash since Nash has never made a finals, but he came out of left field with Jerry west lol.
@@Jkev24 he just be joking when he bring up old name like Nate Archibald or Lou Hudson 🤣but they did have some game
@@ojmosby5755 who?
You must have a low iq
The way SAS describes CP3, it applies to Mad Dog. Every time Mad Dog shows up on ESPN on Wednesdays, the show gets better. Mad Dog has that charisma. Like you think he's delusional but it's not so mean-spirited like Skip back in the day.
I get what you are saying with Mad Dog and Skip's similarities.
It doesn’t get better lmao, its just horrible takes left and right.
He’s the Italian version of Stephen A, except more knowledgeable
He's aight, matches Stephen A's energy
Opposite for me. I generally can't stand watching his videos and only clicked on this one to see the top 5 list he had
I absolutely love mad dog. He infuriates Steven A. he for sure got WAY too much of a "back in my day" energy but its so funny cause it pisses off everyone on the show. People seem to write off everyone who played more than 20 years ago so it is a breath of fresh air.
So u think we write them off? So u think those guys better than steph
He’s skip bayless 2.0
@Dani G80 hes still listed as a mf pg 😂 just because he doesn't dominate the ball dont mean anything and the reason he dont dominate the ball is because he would be double teamed so the coach makes plays for him
@Dani G80 my guy I didnt say u knocked him I just told u he is a pg
but when you watch the best highlights of the stars in the old days, even michael jordan, you can see that the things they did back then you see in most players these days. but if you watch the top highlights of current stars like lebron, steph curry, etc. they do things that are unbelievable that you would have never seen back in the day. also defensive coverages were a joke back in the day too
Bruh no way I’m ever ranking Jason Kidd over steph curry😂😂😂
Magic said that if you wanna learn play the point, watch Stockton
His assists and steals records are unreachable and he didnt win a title cuz he faced MJ
He is top 5
Reverse racism ,J Stockton was one of the greatest of all time top 3 ,4 but because he wasn't Flashy and dunking he gets disrespected
@@jblaze1336 Stockton isn’t better than magic, curry, Isaiah Thomas or Oscar
He didn't win cause Karl Malone couldn't hit free throws not cause he faced Jordan
He faced the Bulls
Stockton without Malone is worse than Magic without Kareem, Curry without Draymond/Klay, Oscar without Jerry Lucas, Isiah Thomas without Joe Dumars/Bill Laimbeer. You could argue he is #5 but Chris Paul, Steve Nash, and Jerry West are arguably better
I know he never won a ring... But are we going to ignore the brilliance of John Stockton? He has a steal and assists record that no one is going to touch.
since he became a crazy person... yes
@@mucknar crazy person?😂 I’ve been under a rock what he do?
He was mentioned so nobody forgot about him lol
@@addielmoreau4469 he spoke about the vaccine.
true, but remember he played with Karl Malone for about 20 years......if some like CP3 played with Malone for that long he would have close to the same records
“Even Curry” lmaoo he has more than everybody on that list except magic 😂😂
The way he said “Nash can’t coach” had me dead 💀
I was waiting to see if SAS was going to smirk
Mad Dog is one of the few able to out-talk Stephen A. These guys together are electric.
Yes but horrific takes lol. Purely entertainment
@@LukasP143 Your opinion
@@tolopo99 They said the same thing about max . Now he’s some intellectual god
Bob Cousey he used to dribble around the court with one hand.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@drb5003 saying this is pretty idiotic they played in the 60’s the game evolves
To put steph at 5 is blasphemous. Curry at 2 is the most respectful you can do to him. One and only unanimous mvp.
Jason Kidd over Steph? 💀😭
Could put him 3 because he doesn’t have a finals mvp which he should considering how good he is but doesn’t take control in the finals oftentime . Yet the lowest u can put him is 3.
dude needs to win a finals MVP...come and talk then
That point is spoken like a new era fan that only looks at accolades and watches box scores.
4 better than curry as point..curry better than 4 off the ball
How does John Stockton not make any of these lists?! The guy leads all time in assists and steals!! Played both ends of the floor and he was essentially Chris Paul before Chris Paul.
Facts
He is white and lost two chips to Jordan.
He was better than CP3
@@calthar13 same reason why stephen A gets so mad about jason kidd. Now do i think he is 4th overall. Proly not but he was something curry never was and never will be. A really good defender. He was also big. Like Russel Westbrook big at 6'4 so he would wear someone like curry out in playoffs and would run him flat over in the post because guards use to know how to play post. Now its like smart, holiday, and Westbrook and thats about it.
Yeah Stockton never gets enough love. He was a fantastic defender, passer, and nobody ever ran the pick n Roll better!
These two together are TV gold! Unmatched chemistry and the funniest arguments ever!
Not better than him and skip. But they are good.
if you squint ur eyes, it looked like the good ol days with Skip and Stephen A
🤣🤣🤣
😹
I would take the toolbox from Texas over this guy.....
Maybe
Sorry, they both suck
My bad
Mad Dog is just Skip with a New York accent
1. Magic
2. Steph
3. Oscar
4. Isiah
5. CP3/Stockton
You got it perfect
Isiah better then Oscar
Yeah there’s no way Kidd is better than Paul & Stockton!
isiah has to be the second best pg ever. he literally beat 4 of the top 10 players ever to get his rings
No way is Steph higher than Oscar, Isiah and Stockton.
I've always felt like Stockton is so underrated. NBA record for steals and assists and it isn't even close. He's the definition of a fundamentally strong point guard
Im glad someone said it, such a disrespect for Stockton. He is for me just a true Point Guard.
It doesn't matter where Cp3 is top 5 or not, Everyone got they're own list
Same thoughts.
Only UNANIMOUS MVP ever at 5? Nah
Playoffs is wher u become legendary unanimous so
Mad dog was trolling him 😂
I appreciate Mad Dogg's old school approach. A lot of the all time legends are underappreciated. That being said, he's a hypocrite for putting Steph Curry at 5 because he "only won one ring by himself" when he put the Big O and Jason Kidd above him even if they never won anything by themselves. Steph is definitely my #2 behind Magic.
Is steph number 1 now?
These 2 together are gold!😂
Steph at 5 is crazyyyyy
Anything lower than 2 is stupid.
Anything lower than 2 and I can’t take u seriously. Yes I’m a warriors fan
@@samhopkins3610 So in other words, you ignore defense and leadership which Kidd has over Steph. Draymond is the real leader of the Warriors and Steph can’t defend like Kidd did.
When Kidd was in his prime, his best teammates were Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, & Vince Carter at the end of his prime. Those are good players but you can’t compare them to Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, & Draymond Green.
@@Oridginale24 leadership is so arbitrary, you’re not in the warriors locker room so u don’t know that, and by all accounts Steph is a great teammate. Kidd is a better defender but Steph is 10x the offensive player that Kidd was. Is Marcus Smart better than Steph too?
@@Oridginale24 if someone right now said Mikal Bridges was better than Kevin Durant or Lebron they would sound like an idiot but he’s a way better defender. Is Kevon looney better than Jokic? He’s a better defender
This man is straight up comedy. Give the dude a contract on First Take!
Please no...
Bob Cousy!!!! 💀😭💀😂🤣😂💀🤦🏾♂️
I’m thoroughly convinced they brought in Madd Dogg on First Take to just troll Stephen A. all show lol
I’m dead . Lol gotta love this guy
Great List !!!
1. Magic
2. Curry
3. Oscar Robertson
4. Isiah Thomas
5. Stockton
6. Kidd
7. Nash
8. Tony Parker
9. Cp3
10. Westbrook
Tony Parker over Cp3? Idk bout that
@@joshualee5282 he’s got 4 rings and a finals mvp
@@The614zekebecause they played on worse teams then the spurs for a majority of their careers and have better individual accolades, for example Nash has 2 mvps and stockton is the all time leader in steals and assist bar far.
@@The614zeke not as big as finals mvp, if he wins one then yea he will move up but not till then
@@The614zeke also Lebron has 37k points and 10k assist so no cp3 is not the only player to have done that
Am I the only one that doesn’t get this whole CP3 thing… what has he won?
exactly and he punches dudes in the nuts in college and in the pros
You’re a casual then look at his resume and context of his teams and competition
facts 😂 he’s good and makes teams better, but he’s never won a chip. if he ever does win a chip then sure top 5 all time for me
He hasnt won much but so hasnt a lot of great point guards in the history as the number 1 option. CP3 has been the best player on contenders for most of his career, is a consistent 20+10 guy and is the true definition of point guard. I have him behind Magic, Steph, Oscar and Isiah and tied with Stockton at 5. Nash and Kidd also did not have much team success as the number 1 option on their teams
@@Nick-pf5xo Kidd much better as a leader and defender. only thing CP3 is better at is scoring. Kidd went to the finals twice though as the main guy with not much talent like cp3, stockton and nash had. Kidd more versatile, can play more off the ball and can defend multiple positions than those 3. he did defend kobe, lebron, durant, wade and westbrook during the 2011 championship run.
I think if Kidd was in his prime with a prime Dirk. they could have won at least 2 championship.
CP3 was in a very talented team in his days with the clippers, rockets and even new orleans but was unable to get to the conference finals until last year where most of the teams they faced were without their stars.
Nash also had great talented teammates in his time with the mavericks, suns and lakers but he was a liability on defense and only emerge as a great player in a d'antoni type system.
Stockton had malone most of his career. They were a great duo but stockton never carried a team like some of the best point guards did. Malone was the best player during those Jazz run in the 90s.
1. Magic Johnson
2. Steph Curry
3. Oscar Robertson
4. Isiah Thomas
5. Jason Kidd
This is the top 5 PG of All Time for me.
i’m really curious why walt frazier is never talked about as an all time great pg, won 2 finals and had some huge playoff/finals moments, but even the old heads i don’t hear talk about him and i figure there’s gotta be a reason
Yeah I wonder that too. Best I can tell he had a relatively short prime and never had the assist numbers that other PGs had. You would still think that the rest of his resume would allow him to crack the top 10 PG lists.
He's in the top 10.
He had a super great handle i watched those finals he was amazing suprised hes not talked about either he was really great one of the great players that can play in this era
Top 10 for sure.
Clyde!!! He really should get more love. He's basically Gary Payton with 2 rings.
This was a great list by Maddog
John Stockton has to be on their no matter what the all time leader in assists and steals and nobody is coming close to those records.
Most people who disrespect Bob Cousy I feel like have never watched a full game of him playing. Watching him I legit think he could’ve EASILY played today
It’s just another form of recency bias. No one will obv be able to completely tell whether he could play today but I guarantee most that disrespect his name have never even seen him play
Lol I’m better than him ur crazy
he is one of the greatest
He would be a good bench warmer today.
Nah man, dude couldn't even average over 40% from the field. He'd be a bench warmer in today's game, and this is coming from someone that actually respects the OG players.
Perfect list perfect honorable mentions
Nice video !
Curry is atleast 2nd if not on level with magic
LMAO ROFL
Nono
You must haven't ever played basketball with a dumb statement only thing Steph do is great is shoot the 3
1:26 That reaction is golden
Mad Dog is so funny! Great chemistry with Stephen A
*Mad Dog is the only reason I’m watching First Take*
Well let if be
Who is here after CP0 choked game 7 and now realized why Mad Dog didn’t put him on the list.
Jason Kidd the most unappreciated player of all time.. casuals basketball fans think u need to have to shoot 3 pointers like curry to be great.. Not understanding Kidd after magic Johnson was the greatest facilitator ever and can dominate a game without shooting a shot attempt
I love their energy!
Magic, Isiah, Curry, Oscar, Glove, Kidd, CP3, Iverson, Stockton, Luka when done playing 😂
Iverson was a SG during his peak. Snow ran the point.
@@bgbambino true, but because Stephen a considers Jerry West as a point, i just had to mention AI 🙏🏻
Magic Oscar IT Stockton Kidd GP CP3 Cousy Frazier KJ
Luka will be higher when he's done lol.
Iverson lol that's who yall be overrating
This is just a troll list 😂😂…except magic at 1
Most people have Oscar Robertson at 2 as well though

Curry at 5 is horrible
@@kohsmoger1567 curry at top 2 is Better? Don't be Offensive.
Steph is a top 2 pg don’t care what anyone says
Any clip, during which, Mad Dog presents a list is an absolute winner.
This is about what i'd expect out of a sports debate between two people from New York.
1. Magic
2. Curry
I don’t care about the rest.
1.Magic
2.Steph
3.Zeek
The rest is up in the air.
Big O 3rd, 4th Zeke
Thomas is not top 3
Steph is not top 3
Mad Dog knows his stuff man. Even if you disagree you can't say he doesn't know.
That list 🔥
Magic is basically consesus 1 IT is basically consensus 3. Most ppl have steph 2 big o at 4 then that 5th spot is debatable. The funny thing is that this list is actually good for mad dog standards🤣💀
it's crazy to me that. Zeek isn't automatic 2 like my dude beat Kareem, Magic, Michael the goat Jordan, Arguably the best forward ever Larry Bird, Prime Wilkins, Benard King and Patrick.
J STOCKTON IS A BETTER PURE P GUARD THAN CURRY , YALL GUYS WITH THIS REVERSE RACISM HAS TO STOP
@Justin Gaines …, Facts people like to say MJ went through all those teams … nah it was Isaiah
Most ppl do not have Steph at two u buggin
I have Zeke 2 behind Magic.
Mostly young people put curry 2 because they don't know any better.
imagine having a top 5 PG list of all time and not having at least 1 or 2 of CP3, Stockton, or Nash....not having a single 1 of the 3 purest Point guards of all time
Man I love the mad dog and Stephen A chemistry. Just the reactions they give off each other is even funny af.
Love mad dogs List / take ! Jason Kidd Most underrated Player of all time !
Calm your horses. The list depends on who's making it. Mad Dog's list is about accomplishments and how the players rank compared to the other players in their own era.
Top 10 Point Guards
1. Magic
2. Curry
3. Oscar
4. West
5. IT
6. Kidd
7. CP3
8. Westbrook
9. Nash
10. Stockton
Kyrie lillard is not an HM
Don't disrespect Russ like that 💀 and west is a 2 guard
Until Kyrie can play for someone other than himself. I think him being on any list is disrespectful to anyone else on the list.
@3:13 “no ifs, and, or BUTTS” 😂😂😂
Even Jason Kidd would say the list is blasphemous for putting him ahead of Stockton.
Either have Curry #2 or don't have him on the list at all because he's not a true point guard, but don't keep him on the list and also penalize him for not being a true point guard.
Also if you're talking about traditional point guards Stockton needs to be in the top 5. He lacked a lot athletically and he's damaged his legacy with the anti-vax stuff, but in terms of being a passer and a floor general he's easily in the top 5. So either go all in with guards who played the 1 and have Curry at #2 or go all in on traditional point guards and have Stockton way higher but Steph not on the list.
This list just changed the requirements for each pick in an effort to keep CP3 off it.
The fact that people think Stocktons legacy in basketball is damaged because he is specifically against the rushed covid vax (not anti vax in general) is a joke. It's a woke joke , shouldn't be mentioned unless you are a puppet of the corporate greed system we are all exposed to
This is a very solid point 🤝 Steph is indisputably among the BEST if we're talking about the Best Overall players that played the Pos1. The only argument that can challenge that was the fact that he's not really a Traditional/Pure/True PG, u really have to either Put him #2(anything lower is an insult) and he's not even done yet, or isolate him coz he won't fit those PG rankings 'Qualifications'
Lol the anti/vaxx thing does nothing for me who really cares 😂
But he’s not better then Oscar, magic, or Thomas.. period
How does OG have STEPH in an not STOCKTON... STEPH better player but not better PG...

😂 this man got Jason Kidd ahead of curry. Steph top 3
Steph only brings offense. Kidd brought offense, defense, & leadership. Curry is not a defender and Draymond is the real leader of the Warriors. Steph is a better scorer and shooter but Kidd was the better passer and floor general.
@@Oridginale24 if steph is on the floor, he is defending his best. Some people are just not built to be a defender. It is not as if Curry is a guaranteed bucket like isiah Thomas. His most underrated part of the game.
@@Oridginale24 steph has led the nba in steals before so he’s not a terrible defender. But there’s is no way u can argue Kidd over curry. It’s not even close
@@jaleelgoines9949 Getting steals is often about gambling but there’s so much more to defense than just getting steals. Iverson led the league in steals but he wasn’t a great defender.

Honestly I don’t mind his list I would def put curry higher though but Kidd is highly underrated his game wasn’t flashy but dude was a winner and a killer

I love mad dog. But John Stockton has to be in the top 5. Matter of fact top 3 on anyones list.
I love this list... true true
To Round out Doggies list for a top 10, I would have added CP3 and the Glove. Gary Payton was great. One of the few guards to win Defensive Player of the year.
He also screamed that Chris Paul has only been to one conference final when he’s been to two…
two conf. finals in 15 years is insanity
Chris Paul played in 2 conference finals….
That was legit the first time the even mentioned hockey on this show when Russo mentioned Ray Bourque leaving Boston for the Colorado Avalanche and won a cup
The John Stockton disrespect is very real.
Everybody 50+ agrees 😂
For me it's:
1) Magic
2) Steph
3) Isaiah Thomas
4) Kidd
5) CP3 (if he wins a ring, he can be 4th)
The disrespect to Stockton and Oscar is unreal. Both are better than CP3 and Kidd for sure
@@darkse1dd that's fair. I just have a hard time putting guys who played in the 60s on that list. There were literally 8 teams in that era, and the Celtics were pretty much the Mongolians of that time
@@darkse1dd Not Oscar. As great as he was, he couldnt sniff the finals before Lew. Kidd got his team to the Finals back-to-back, and while he lost both, at least it was to all-time great teams. The Lakers 3peat and the Spurs.He made Kmart look like an allstar
Stockton and Malone are so severely underrated for all-time great lists and I don't know why. Yes, they lost 2 Finals to the undisputed GOAT, but they lost 2 Finals to the undisputed GOAT. Also, the Bulls support players were far superior to the Jazz's. If the Jazz had Rodman, they'd win 5 titles in a row. Stockton is 1st in Steals and Assists all-time and doesn't make a top 5 PG list? That's just insane.
Facts I thought for sure Stockton would be on here
Stephen A. and Mad Dog Russo are so much fun to watch. Doggie needs to start giving Steph Curry more credit. He should be at least be #3 in that top 5.
