If Your PG is the best player on your team, its over

[TrebleMan]

Honestly, it's always going to be the case of your team only being as good as it's weakest link.

If you have an offensive/defensive liability, you're essentially playing 4 vs 5 on one side of the court and that affects everybody because they have to exert energy and make game plans adjustments making up for it.

I got that shyt mixed up. Stall me out

Facts, and if you disagree youre a casual

Guards are in abundance tho.. The star SF or star center is damn near the holy grail in basketball these days

Since 1980 my nikka only tree of dem have led their squad to rings. TREE.

Magic, Isiah, Steph. IN THAT ORDER.

yeah only three pgs (plus Billups), but how many titles they won?
Magic= 5 titles
Isiah = 2 titles
Curry = 3 and counting

The actual trick is to have the PG playing next to a All defensive/DPOY caliber 2 guard (Cooper, Dumars, Klay is underrated here but can play D), not a slightly taller version of them that can only kind of shoot better.

And even with the bad boy pistons That was a team led by dominant defense and rebounding

2014 Tony Parker, but that Spurs team was balanced and had Duncan.

Duncan's team

 

[Archangel]

I agree but he had the city on fire

Why the hell did you mention Kris Dunn? That nikka is nowhere near elite. Damn sure nowhere near the best player on the Bulls

Cause nikkas was crowning him dwade lite coming in. nikka was a top 5 pick with absolutely no discernable skill or shooting ability. His athleticism is what got him drafted ultimately. He shouldn't have went that high.

They are big deal though.

The positions haven't really changed. Players and pundits like to say that the PG position has changed from the guy that brings the ball up and passes to the open man, but that's a lie. Bob Cousy, the OG Point God, was the leading scorer of the Celtics and took the most shots a number of years. Walt Frazier has lead the team in scoring.

Ben Simmons plays PG, like an actual PG, but he's 6'10. He lays with an actual SG and guards PGs and switches and all that good shyt.

If Ben Simmons played PF, the entire team dynamic changes because he can't shoot for shyt. He'll play closer to the basket. Teams will not be able to double Embiid so hard.



Walt Frazier won a ring as the best player, I forgot about him.

I said since 1980 though. I aint tryna hear about these 70s and 60s nikkas cause the leaugue was not modernized yet.

The fukk you mention Zo for? Lakers didn't draft him to be the #1 guy

I’d say they actually did draft him to run that team...

He might not have been drafted to be the #1 scoring option but he was drafted to be the face and leader of that squad. He was the #2 pick in the draft. You don’t take a dude that high with the intention of him just becoming another random player

Actually that team was so light on talent...it’s very well possible that that intended on him being the best scorer as well

My Pistons did it thrice ​
