All-Time Greatest NBA Point Guards, Ranked

Lenny Wilkens did it all—literally. In his prime, he averaged 20 points and nine assists, made nine All-Star teams, and eventually entered the Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach. During the 1967–68 season, Wilkens finished second in the league in assists while also averaging 22 points.

He was smooth, cerebral, and always in control. Whether running the offense or pulling up from midrange, Wilkens never seemed rattled. He led quietly and played the right way. Later, he became the NBA’s all-time winningest coach—proof that his understanding of the game extended far beyond his playing years.
