-Dennis Johnson comes to mind. Crazy underrated.

-Payton I think underrated because he didn't win a championship.

-Some of the chicago bull guards like steve kerr, paxon, etc. Kerr had some ridiculous seasons, like 50% from the field, 50% 3 pointers.

-Mookie Blaylock defensively.

-Kevin Johnson! Feel sorry that he never won a championship.

I don't think Mark Jackson is underrated. I believe he is 3rd alltime in assist. I think only idiots would under rate him.

I'm a big believer of duration of a career and transforming the way you play as you get older especially for a PG. With that said, Jason Kidd.

#2 all time in assist
#3 all time in steals
#3 all time in 3's made


Yet this dude is constantly barely in the top ten PG's ever talk. He should easily be in the top 5. Carried a very weak Nets team to the finals twice.

As a NYer I can honestly say that we all heard his name everyday when he played for the Knicks.

Since most younger and casual NBA fans aren't aware....I think Scottie Pippen being the Bulls de-facto point guard for the 2nd 3-peat would be a reasonable consideration.

At least in terms of moving the ball up the floor and then settling into the triangle.
