I feel like I can defend three different positions: point guards, shooting guards, and small forwards who don't want to play too much in the post.

Iman Shumpert

There's tons of point guards in this league. There's good point guards on bad teams.

Eric Bledsoe

I just love playing with point guards with high Iqs.

Zion Williamson

I'm a point guard, I've always been a point guard, I've played point guard all my life. Personally, I feel the best point guards make other players look better and create their own shot. I fit in that category.

Chauncey Billups

Leaders are like point guards, we set people up to score.

Derwin L. Gray

You can't compare my numbers to the other point guards. I'm a different kind of player - if you like it or not.

Jose Calderon

I think a lot of L.A. is something like USC - this incredible white culture living in the midst of color, and no obvious reaction to it at all. I mean, they have guards at the gate at USC - guards at the gate of a major university! And the guards chase young black boys away - I've seen it, chasing 8-year-old boys.

Anna Deavere Smith

We're looking at the court as X's and O's and plays that can happen, two three steps ahead of time. That's what the best point guards do. As you grow into a point guard that's what you learn, and eventually, you tend to grasp that.

Mike Conley Jr.

When the guards noticed my chessboard, they all wanted to play me. And when they started to play me, they always won. The strongest among the guards taught me how to control the center. After that, the guards had no chance to defeat me.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi

I felt like that was an important thing for guards to trust the big fella when they give them the ball - that you can catch and finish. I think that's real big for the trust between you and your guards.

John Collins

The Suns keep great point guards here.

Eric Bledsoe

I was blessed to have a lot of good point guards throughout.

Mike D'Antoni

Most coaches are mostly small guards because they think guards have more knowledge.

Charles Oakley

The great point guards make everybody else better.

Stephon Marbury

When I was a kid I watched Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson - all these great point guards. But then when I was 14, 15-years-old I found a similar guy who played like me - Beno Udrih. He's lefty too and he played in my hometown so I was a huge fan of his. Then after awhile I saw Manu Ginobili when he was playing in Italy.

Goran Dragic

When you're playing a good team, not too many point guards want to go one on one. When you're playing a not-so-good team, teams that are fighting to make the playoffs, guys are going to want to try and get their own. It's just a different read of each team.
