Michael Jordan, widely regarded as the greatest shooting guard (and player) in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
The shooting guard (SG), also known as the two, two guard or off guard,[1] is one of the five traditional positions in a regulation basketball game. A shooting guard's main objective is to score points for their team and steal the ball on defense.[1] Some teams ask their shooting guards to bring up the ball as well; these players are known colloquially as combo guards.[2] A player who can switch between playing shooting guard and small forward is known as a swingman.[3] In the NBA, shooting guards usually range from 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) to 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) while in the WNBA, shooting guards tend to be between 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) and 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m).
