Ex-Nets guard throws Kenny Anderson’s name in best point guard from New York discussion

New York City has churned out its fair share of basketball talent over the years, especially at the point guard position.

Right now, the Bronx is represented by Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker. When Brooklyn didn’t have its own team, Stephon Marbury represented — while playing for the Nets and, later on, the Knicks.

Even though he had an accomplished career in the NBA and overseas, Starbury won’t put himself in the conversation for best point guard in the city.

However, he did bring up one his predecessors as the Nets’ starting point guard when discussing the subject with Brandon Robinson of Heavy:

Who’s the best point guard other than myself? Man, that’s a loaded question dude. …You got Tiny Archibald, you got Kenny Anderson — you got so many point guards it’s not even funny. Khalid Reeves. It’s a gang of point guards.

Marbury didn’t give his official pick, but he made a strong case for Archibald:

I mean, I don’t rate myself as the best point guard in New York. Not when you have guys like Tiny Archibald. That right there I mean, he was a monster. It’s just that people don’t know about him.

Like Walker, Archibald was from the Bronx. Though, unlike Anderson and Marbury, Archibald never played for either the Nets or Knicks.
