brandon, you’re kidding me right? give hurley credit. if you understand basketball at all you would know that THE SYSTEM always affects the player but you need talent to make the system work for you. you obviously are one of those basketball know nothings if you honestly think that bobby hurley wasn’t a great point guard. are you a fucking idiot? a system can’t bring out someone’s court vision. god damn idiot jock sniffer.

btw, hurley was better than kenny anderson as a point guard. anderson was a complete basketball idiot and travis best? please. that just shows that hurley would have made a good career for himself in the nba. best was average at “best”. If hurley wasn’t injured he would have lead the league in assists at least once during his career, especially if he lucked out and got put on a warriors or suns run and gun team.

Hurley would have been a good point guard in the nba if it wasn’t for the accident, it left him with really serious injuries and his speed and shot (flat, weird hitch after the accident due to overcompensation for injuries) were never the same. Bobby had a steve nash game, better vision than chris paul but lacked strength (he could have easily gained this over the years). Hurley would have been perfect for a run and gun offense. Even after the injury the guys vision kept him on an nba roster. I watched one kings warriors game and dude put up 15 assists because the kings ran everytime he was in there (trying to showcase him for a trade). dude was legit.

Fastbreak basketball isn’t “uniquely Duke.” But we’re talking about a system that made JJ Redick the Naismith College Player of the Year. A system that made Redick and Langdon lottery picks. Langdon is out of the league. Redick is likely on his way out too. If you look at this objectively, I think it’s clear that Hurley’s place amongst the greats was influenced by playing for Coach K, and playing alongside Laettner and Hill.

Hurley had skill and his numbers support your argument. But there are countless point guards who would have excelled in his place. You pointed out Hurley, not “taking an extra dribble before firing a dime 60 feet up the floor.” Is that uniquely Bobby Hurley?

I really don’t know who the greatest college point guards are of all time; I started watching college ball with my dad in the late 80′s. My late 80′s to present day top 5 are:

1. Bobby Hurley – “Mr. Fundamentals”

2. Jason Kidd – The best passing and on the ball defender I have ever seen in the college game.

3. Kenny Anderson – He was one of the first shoot-first point guards who was unstoppable at times.

4. Greg Anthony – He made all the right passes, played pressure defense. He is another textbook point guard a la Bobby Hurley.

5. Jay Williams – He would be #1, he was lightning quick, a deadly-clutch three point shooter, but the dude couldn’t shoot a free throw into the ocean. His clutch shots use to rip the heart out of teams. If I remember correctly, they were eliminated out of the tournament one year because he couldn’t make one out of two free throws to tie the game.

Thats a good point AK Hurley never wasted a step.
And thank you to whoever it was above who brought up Ed Cota the best post feeder ever! Yeh again, Hurley was nasty. His jumper was better than Kenny Andersons too.
