An excerpt from this James Harden biography:

When you talk about the greatest guards in the history of the NBA, names such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and Clyde Drexler come to mind. Those players all had the right combination of skill, athleticism, popularity, charisma, and the will to win that made them successful superstars in their eras. In essence, those great shooting guards have all become unique players—the likes of which could probably never be duplicated in the history of the league. Uniqueness has always been what describes the best shooting guards in league history. Their distinctive set of skills has been one of the catalysts to how the league grows and changes. And because the greatest shooting guards in league history are so unique, the position has become arguably the most difficult to play at the highest level. As difficult a task as it is to become a great shooting guard because of how much the position demands that a player try to match their skills with that of the all-time greats, even tradition yields to how the game changes with the passage of time. Jordan, Bryant, Wade, and Drexler are no doubt all great and unique. However, no other shooting guard in the NBA is as unique as James Harden.
