Don t believe it, these 5 SG peaks are so scary, but no one can go far

In the history of the NBA, there has never been a shortage of legends and explosions in the shooting guard position. But not all dazzling light lasts forever. Some players have performed amazingly in the league with their ultimate explosion and period of dominance. They were even regarded as successors and the core of the team for a time, but due to injuries, systems, personalities or destiny, their peaks come quickly and go quickly. These five shooting guards are the most typical "meteor geniuses".

Fifth place: Eddie Jones

Career data: Average of 14.8 points/4.0 rebounds/2.9 assists/43.7% shooting percentage/37.0% three-pointers

Honors: 3 All-Stars/3 Best Defensive Lineup/1 Stealing King

Eddie Jones was the future core of the Lakers' focus on training, with both offense and defense, accurate outside, and a keen sense of fast attack. He was selected as the All-Star for three consecutive years between 1997 and 2000, with averaging 20+ points per game, and the defensive end is the top outside barrier. But with Kobe's rapid rise, Jones was traded to the Hornets and gradually faded out of the front-line stage. Although he has a comprehensive skill and professional attitude, his lack of overwhelming scoring methods has led to his peak maintenance for a short time. After 2000, the data began to decline and eventually became a role player. His brief highlights are the most underrated flames in the Lakers' transition period.

4th place: Gilbert Arenas

Career Statistics: 20.7 points per game / 5.3 assists per game / 3.9 rebounds per game / 42.1% shooting percentage / 35.1% three-pointers honors: 3 All-Stars / 3 All-Squad / 29+ per game

Gilbert Arenas is one of the most explosive shooting guards in the early 21st century. He scored his career peak for three consecutive years between 2004 and 2007, averaging 29.3 points in 2006, and hit buzzer-beating kills many times, and was called the "uncrowned offensive machine." However, after a knee injury in 2007, his condition declined sharply, and he was banned due to a gun-carrying incident in the locker room, making his career slam. At his peak, he was fierce in firepower and crazy in the game. He was a hero of Washington, but due to injuries and personality issues, his rule lasted for only three years.

Third place: Brandon Roy

Career data: 18.8 points per game / 4.7 assists / 4.3 rebounds / 45.9% shooting percentage / 34.8% three-pointers Honors: 3 All-Stars / 1 All-Squad Team Second Team / 2007 Rookie

Brandon Roy is the most elegant and smartest among the shooting guards. He has no super explosive power, but the rhythm control and shooting choices are extremely reasonable. At its peak, he was the tactical core of the Trail Blazers and was hailed as "the replacement of Kobe in the West." His representative works are the 52 points against the Suns in 2008 and the return of the Mavericks with injuries in 2010. But at the age of 27, he was forced to retire due to complete wear of the cartilage on his knee, and his peak lasted for less than 4 years. His fall is regrettable and has also become the most tragic example of the game between talent and destiny.

Second place: Steve Francis

Career data: Average 18.1 points/6.0 assists/5.6 rebounds/42.9% shooting percentage/32.8% three-pointers

Honors: 3 All-Stars/1 Best Rookie/The Rockets' Facade in the early 2000s

Steve Francis is known for his explosiveness and viewing ability. He was the number one core of the Rockets that year, with comprehensive skills and excellent offense and defense. 2002-2004 was his peak period, with averaging 21+ points per game, and assists and rebounds. But he relies too much on his body and his playing style is fierce. With Yao Ming's tactical status being cut off after his rise, coupled with injuries and off-court disputes, his condition declined rapidly. After transferring to Magic, he performed mediocrely, and finally bid farewell to his peak before he was 30 years old. He was once one of the league's most popular shooting guards, but he fell extremely quickly.

No. 1: Dwyane Wade

Career data: Average of 22.0 points / 5.4 assists / 4.7 rebounds / 48.0% shooting percentage / 29.3% three-pointers

Honors: 3 championships / 1 FMVP / 13 All-Stars / Top 30 of the historical scoring list

Wade's peak quality is extremely high, but it is not long. In the 2006 Finals, he averaged 34.7 points per game, but due to his fierce playing style and frequent breakthroughs and fouls, he had a significant decline in his condition after 2010. Although he and James and Bosh formed the Big Three to win the championship again, the role has changed from core to tactical puzzle. The true Wadeian rule only lasted for five years 2005–2010. He is the most successful example of the "short-lived peak". He burned himself in the most powerful way and left the hardest chapter in the history of shooting guards.
