You mean as far as wrapped into one? is that what you're asking?

The thing is Tier1"athleticism" is pretty overrated for a pg especially.. there has been scores of athletes at the pg position though
CP3/Deron Williams are most definitely there as far as now no one else..
Nash to a certain degree.. -
Isiah Thomas allday

Nash too. he wasnt fast but he was quick and had and escapeablity to him..
Tier1 Athleticism Chris Paul?? nah ...he's athletic , but i think he's talking about the level of Derrick Rose,Westbrook or John Wall athleticism , CP3 not even close to that he's just very skilled
Deron Williams is about as close as it will get , and even still they're are guys ahead of him as far as athletic PG's , but D-will is as close as far as being very athletic and having the fundamentals -
Yea i dig what you sayin i was more talkin about pgs that have a bit of both.. yeah Deron is that one...that i say ha sthe most.. I dont understand dudes angle for making the thread ..

i think cuz a lot of the "Tier1" athletic PG's catch a lot of flack for not always having the best Fundamentals , and he's probably asking has that ever really ever been around, as far as a tier 1 athleteic PG ever really having all the fundamentals
the Baron Davis, Steve Francis, Derrick Rose,Russell Westrbook type ...
maybe thats why he's asking .... -

D-Will currently ... but he's playing in such a loaded PG league now that guys like rose and so on are a tad bit more athletic than him
But Deron catches folks, i think he could make more eye popping athletic plays but he realizes the PG position aint about that

Kevin Johnson??

CP3 is the most complete of all time

man...rose and westbrook arent point guards...them nikkas just happen to play point...

I dont remember Zeke being all that athletic. crazy skilled yes, but athletic like drive to the rim and would flush on you, no.
i know this is gonna probably stir up some ish, but how about rondo? He runs the point and display his athletism from time to time. -
i was thinkin rondo, unless you count shooting jumpers as fundamental

Does Magic count as a PG???
-
-
Isiah Thomas
Allen Iverson
Stephon Marbury
.... they can all pass, dribble, shoot, and they're all athletic. -
Allen Iverson
Tiny Archibald
Kevin Johnson
Isaih Thomas
Rajon Rondo -

Point guard of all time.
Isiah+Kidd+Nash=Chris Paul
He's got no flaws in his game. All the strengths of the all time greats but none of the weaknesses
