The last 20 NBA title winners and their starting PGs -

Tony Parker
Mario Chalmers 2x
Jason Kidd
Derek Fisher 2x
Rajon Rondo
Tony Parker
Jason Williams
Tony Parker
Chauncey Billups
Tony Parker
Derek Fisher 2x (Brian Shaw/Lindsey Hunter split time as well)
Ron Harper
Avery Johnson
Ron Harper 3x
Kenny Smith 2x


Sure are a lot of shoot first PGs on there

that list is entirely debatable

Curry himself wasn't elite 2 years ago, so who he played with then is kind of irrelevant


Also, you're doing more to hurt Rondo than you are Curry, considering Rondo played with much better talent than Dragic, Lowry and Rubio and the Celts were only marginally better on offense.

And what about the last two seasons? He hasn't had a supporting cast good enough to be great?

They were 11th two years ago, you're acting like them being in the top 10 this year is an impossibility

Curry's a great player, breh. I'm sure Danny Ainge wouldn't hesitate to trade Rondo for him. But as a playmaker I can't crown him

He also runs his teams offense into the ground, despite the weapons the Celtics had, the best they could do offensively was 6th in the league. The Celtics for all their talent had shytty offenses because he's no threat offensively and he controls the ball entirely too much.

The Coli will shyt on CP3, yet big up Rondo, even though he pounds the ball and dribbles away the shot clock without CP3s ability to score. Give me Curry any day of the week over Rondo

Shoot first PG > Dribble Dribble variants

Now tell me, which two point guards held onto the ball for the longest amount of time between passes last season? Surely it would be one of those dribble dribble variants you're talking about

John Wall and Rondo were 1 & 2 in the NBA for amount of minutes per game where the ball is in their hands

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

that shyt was basic

smh wasted my time

better than what the lake show gonna look like this year

That allows for ball movement related possession. Your complaint was of the "dribble dribble" variety i.e. consecutive seconds of a PG pounding the rock, so if Russ was holding onto the ball for 7.9 seconds per game last season (this ballooned to 8.7 seconds in the playoffs), what exactly do you think he was doing in that time?

Its all perception. We assume guards that shoot more dribble less because we as observers feel a long period of possession is more vindicated by a shot than by a pass regardless of the play called, the time of game or shot selection.

And yet somehow they don't have the ball in their hands as long as CP3 or Rondo


Front court Touches per game -
CP3 - 82.5
Rondo - 78.2
Curry - 70.9
Parker - 66.7
Westbrook - 66.6

Touches per game -
CP3 - 97.2
Rondo - 95.7
Curry - 80.8
Parker - 77.0
Westbrook - 75.9

Time of possesion (minutes)
Rondo - 8.0
CP3 - 7.3
Curry - 6.9
Westbrook - 6.5
Parker - 6.2


The ball IS in their hands less, and when they do have it there's an unpredictability to what they're going to do. With Rondo and CP3 you know their first priority is to set someone else up, with these other PGs you don't know whether or not they're going to pass or shoot.


These pass first PGs?
