The only guard in the league who should be mentioned in the same breath as Kobe is Tracy McGrady.
Iverson has won a MVP and lead his team to the Finals, but hell, he won't even go to practice.
Pierce is probably my favorite player in the league, but he's not to the level of elite guards. Does put up great stats though.
And Vince Carter, well he may put people in the seats, but if I was building a team from scratch, he wouldn't be one of the first 25 guys I wanted.
