3 Shooting Guards

      In the NBA there are plenty of great shooting guards. One is Klay Thompson, which  is the son of Michael Thompson. Klay is in outstanding three point shooter, he recently won the Foot Locker 3 Point Shootout.  he also attended the 2015–16 All-Star game and play for the West team.  another great shooting guard is  Dwyane Wade. He currently is on the Miami Heat, and has always played on the Heat. He  had played with many legends, like Shaquille O Neil, LeBron James, And Chris Bosh. Dwayne Wade has won three championship rings, two were with LeBron, one was with Shaq.
    Gordon Hayward is another outstanding player, he currently plays with the Utah Jazz. He is leading their team and is the captain, and leader. In my opinion Gordon is in very underrated player,  he passes very well he makes a lot of 3 pointers he's a great scorer.  The reason why I really like him is because he's different from most small players, he can do more than just scoring, and not many players can do that.  these are three great shooting guards, out of these three shooting guards I think that Dwyane Wade is the best because, he's had the most experience and has been in the league the longest.

James Harden

      James Harden  is a shooting guard that currently plays for the Houston Rockets. James Harden was drafted to the Oklahoma City thunder, and got traded to Houston in 2012. When he got traded, is when he started to become a star because, on his old team they had Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook.  James Harden was coached by Scott Brooks, and Kevin McHale. he was born in Los Angeles California and went to Artesia high school. He went to Arizona for college. James Harden won sixth man of the year award, in Oklahoma.
He was in the all star game twice, in 2014, and this years 2015. He was also selected in the Foot Locker, three point contest both these years. James greatest move in basketball, is drawing fouls. He goes to the free throw line and that's where most of his points come from. He is currently the captain and the leader of his team. He currently gets paid 15 million dollars a year, which is his salary. He has also been selected to be in the National Olympocs, in 2014. He was playing with some of the best players in the NBA when he was selected.

Larry Bird

      Larry Bird is one of the greatest players in the history of professional basketball. He was born on December 7, 1956.  before the NBA draft the team that had the strongest interest in bird, was the Boston Celtics. The reason for this is because, he was an outstanding three point shooter for his height at 6'9. Larry Bird signed with the Celtics on June 8, 1979 with a contract of $3,250,000. In  his rookie year, he was considered the most determined, tough-minded and competitive player in the entire NBA.
  His rookie season took place in 1979,  in that yours was named rookie of the year and was named to the all NBA team.  One of the most exciting things of birds true you're happy in that season in 1980 which was winning his first NBA championship title. after the season he went on and started moving on and one another two more championships with the Celtics, he's gotten many most valuable player o after that season he went on and started moving on and one another two more championships with the Celtics, he's gotten many most valuable player awatds.  he finally retired on August 18, 1992 before he retired he played in the olympics.
