In the world of basketball, point guards are the heartbeat of a team. The year 2025 has plenty of accomplished floor generals, which combines scoring, playmaking, and dexterity. Some are aging veterans, while others are newbies creating their own definition for the title. Here is the current ranking of point guards in the league:
1. Luka Dončić – Lakers

Although Luka is commonly questioned about whether he’s a “point guard” or a “heliocentric offensive savant,” in reality, he is the Mavs point guard. Absolutely no one in the world has the ability to control a match the way Luka does. He is able to control the timetable, harass the defending team on every play, and cripple them with the step-back threes or laser passes. Luka is more than a star. He is an entire offensive ecosystem.
2. Stephen curry – Golden state warriors

Even in the year 2025, Stephan still remains the most powerful force in basketball. Defenders, for some insane reason, cover him as if he is holding a fully charged lightsaber. This enables him to pass the ball with no blocks or drive with no obstacles. He is more than just a shooter and a cult maker. Even at the age of 36, Stephen is still able to perform at an elite level.
3.Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – Oklahoma City Thunder

SGA has transformed into a two-way superstar. His slippery and rhythmic drives to the basket look like an art form—you know it’s coming, but it’s like trying to catch fog. He has also improved a lot as a defender and a leader, bringing OKC to true contender status.
4. Damian Lillard – Milwaukee Bucks

Dame’s move to Milwaukee in 2023 changed the Bucks’ entire offense. By 2025, he is still an elite closer and can still hit the deep shots and stay ice in the clutch. His defense? Well, let’s just say he has a job to get the buckets.
5. Ja Morant – Memphis Grizzlies

Ja is serving his suspensions as he works towards his off-court apex in order to get the respect. He is able to float over the defenders and score a basket with electric style, but also, he can control the offense with his playmaking.
6. New York Knicks: Jalen Brunson

Shooting guard Jalen Brunson is one of the few athletes to undergo an almost complete reversal of the perception that the public holds of him. In his case, he went from being regarded as an overpaid signing to someone regarded as the franchise cornerstone. Currently, his footwork, craftiness, and midrange game are among the best in the entire league. Knicks fans, expect the upside if Brunson is able to maintain his top-ability playoff performer status and gain broad respect as a franchise alpha alongsideother Knicks players.
7. Indiana Pacers—Tyrese Haliburton

Tyrese Haliburton is right up there with the best of the best in the modern-day game, as he is able to be very flexible with the way he plays his position on the court. Halliburton is one of the new age athletes. Chel slingers don’t seem to be an issue for him, and neither do able, willing slashers. He is well past the old-age-dominant-players-on-the-court type, as he is able to, with precision, seamlessly fit in control, as done by his astute way of flowing the game around.
8. Dallas Mavericks: Kyrie Irving

Kyrie is one of the very few enigmas in the sport today. He is both dazzling and very accomplished in his ability to act. Even working with Luka, there is a slight chance that he might still be considered one of the most easily defendable one-on-one players on planet earth.
The point guard position in 2025 features a myriad of brilliant styles, from Luka’s extraordinary versatility bordered by his do-everything dominance to Steph with his timeless shooting gravity and SGA with his surgical drives to the basket. The leaders of the NBA define how the game is played. If we focus on history, we learn that the “best” point guard in the league is as much a “best” as what the numbers on the sheet say, but also the legacy they are carving out for the city, the fans, and the game itself.
