Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Deron Williams, Rajon Rondo, Nash, Chauncey, JKidd, Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook And some GREATS: Magic, Isaiah, Stockton, Frazier Come on. Having an elite point guard running the offense can make or break a team, just naming those few- it's simple to prove my argument right that Point Guard is the most important position in the NBA.
Chauncey Billups and Tony Parker are your only cases since the 80's. All those other names don't prove your argument for shit, because they haven't won rings. When you heavily rely on your PG for (his) offensive output, then you become too easy to defend in the NBA and you lose. Iverson Paul D-Will Nash Westbrook (trainwreck) the list goes on and on. The 80's are gone. Give me a dominant PF/C and a lethal closer at the 2/3 and fuck a PG
Here's a list of the past NBA Champions all the way back until 1990, when the Pistons won it, and next to them will be the positions of their first and second best players (separated by a comma)...further illustrating how the NBA is no longer a PG-reliant league: 1991: Bulls...SG, SF 1992: Bulls...SG, SF 1993: Bulls...SG, SF 1994: Rockets...C, SG 1995: Rockets...C, SG/SF (Drexler) 1996: Bulls...SG, SF, then PF 1997: Bulls...SG, SF, then PF 1998: Bulls...SG, SF, then PF 1999: Spurs...PF, C 2000: Lakers...C, SG 2001: Lakers...C, SG 2002: Lakers...C, SG 2003: Spurs...PF, SG 2004: Pistons...PG, PF (Although the Pistons weren't a legitimate title contender till they signed Rasheed during the season...Indiana would've stomped them w/o him) 2005: Spurs...PF, SG 2006: Heat...SG, C 2007: Spurs...PF, PG (Parker was best in the Finals, but Duncan was clearly better the rest of the playoffs and regular season) 2008: Celtics...SF, PF, then SG 2009: Lakers...SG, PF 2010: Lakers...SG, PF 2011: Heat...SF, SG, then PF If your goal is early playoff exits and no rings, then sure...I'm all about the PG's
People have started putting too much emphasis on positional talent in basketball. The point guard is intrinsically important because he's holding the ball most of the time. Guys like Rondo and Rose both play the same position and are responsible for their team's offense. The way they facilitate the offense is completely different though. If you think about the number of PG's that are great.. you can probably name 10-15. Surely half the league's roster of PGs aren't great though, it's just that a point guard gets a lot of recognition in an offense. In that same respect it's tough to name more than a handful of forwards/SG/centers that are 'great'.
Well done. You've seen through the guise and detected my Freudian agenda with astounding mental perception (and quick wit). Yes, my goal was to subliminally broadcast that I love to sodomize PG's with my lubricated shaft. The subversive homosexual campaign has been thwarted due to your brave deeds and prescient wisdom. Here's a nickel, Johnny...go get yourself a snack.
I knew it. Someone once told me that fucking rotisserie chickens is basically the same thing as fucking NBA point guards. Practice makes perfect.
I originally was aiming towards "just fuck it and forget it," but my investors deemed it inappropriate, and not rhythmically sound. Good job, scrah. Unsolved Mysteries can now put another case in the black.
Yeah that's 1 front. But in football there are 2 more fronts: The QB has to read the defense which changes everyplay and the other is that those defenders can make contact with the QB.
