Now That CP0 Has Blown his 4th 2-0 Lead, Can We Agree The "True Point Guard" Title Is Meaningless?

It took key offensive performances from Klay for Steph to win?

What offensive performances in 2015 were these that were any different to any other star player benefiting from?

Don't you remember Klay shytting the bed in the '15 Finals, when he only averaged 16 points on less than 30% shooting from behind the arc, including only scoring five points in the closeout game?

I remember Klay and others saving the warriors season multiple times over the last few years.

not even worth doing all of the googling to site the games.

You're not going to bother googling because you're full of shyt, and you don't want to face the reality of that which you will do if you look up the games.

This is true and doesn’t take away from my point. To expand on it, as a “true point guard” you’re going to need someone to facilitate to. And that guy needs to make some shots.

Yes a player like Steph or Dame can generate plenty of offense. But I still haven’t seen them single handedly win a chip. It took key offensive performances from Klay (multiple times) & MVP caliber performances from KD for Curry to win. And Dame is still on the clock.

So maybe the argument isn’t that a true point guard can’t win it all. Maybe the argument is that a point guard can’t win it all.

This is assuming we’re having an unbiased discussion when I know we aren’t.





see above

this nonsense. Stop with this Movie/TV show storylines. The way some of you coli brehs talk about Team Sports is like they expecting the best player to be IP Man. Even Jack Bauer had Chloe.

I stand by my point that Curry has never won a ring single handily.

Evidence:

Lack of finals mvp hardware

Recruiting MVP caliber player to replace Barnes

Inability to advance in the playoffs without Klay or KD on the floor

all points that have been discussed around here ad-nauseum

And the best non-biased conclusion that I can reach on this is a point guard needs to have other players playing at a high level to win.

[FunkDoc1112]

Doesn’t matter.

Logic doesn't matter, eh?

Coli in a nutshell.

nonsense

Explain single handedly then?

I want multiple examples not just 1 or 2.

 

[Rekkapryde]

PG’s should never be your #1 unless they’re supersized. They’re too small to impact the game the way larger players can. It just shows how special Zeke was to be able to do that .

Church.

And even Zeke had to do his combo guard thing at times.

Earv was a true point guard, but with his size he had other things he could do.

Kidd was the last true/pure point to win that was a star, and by then he was not the #1 man on the team.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

It hasnt been able to lead a team to a finals win since Magic and Zeke.

That was DECADES ago

Thing about the old days is....they the OLD days

Be the Doc Rivers if PG’s brehs…

Mans got exposed on the biggest stage of his career… Took away his right and forced him left.. dude folded like a cheap suit

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

OP

The Mavs title run wasn't lead by their point guard, but he was a key component orchestrating the offense and playing defense.
Dirk and Jet shot lights out, but they don't win the ring without Jason Kidd.

Chris Paul shortcomings don't mean that the position is meaningless.

JKidd could go left and finish with both hands tho

 

[Jalether]

Do the Lakers finish off the Heat last year without key contribution from Romeo?

I don't know but julliet was much more instrumental in lakers winning the title last season

 

[god shamgod]

This thread dumb af

Chris Paul led his team in scoring in 3 of these series y’all do not watch basketball just push narratives

Blake averaged 13 ppg & got herbed by Randolph all series cp3 had 36 in the close out game

the other series cp3 broke his hand(game 4) & Blake got injured literally 2 minutes later it was a wrap for the clippers after that

ayton played like a p*ssy last night throwing up shots all quick like he was scared ,devin “mamba” booker went 8-22 getting ripped lookin useless while cp3 led them in scoring.stupid thread premise

 

[Shadow King]

Yes Chris Paul didn't maintain his same level of okay but the superstar who's supposedly more important/better didn't show up either. CP3 got them this far against what I was saying but that youth and inexperience came in at the worst stage. And I believe @Consigliere has a point about 1s in general.

Giannis just won as a C

Giannis is not a center.

Doesn’t matter.

It does matter, or is this that type of thread?

Like many on this board, I don't think hoops is for you, and you should probably spend your time following another sport that isn't going to leave you confused every time you watch it.
