where does your obsession with the "+ New Thread" button come from?
Where is this coming from?
When's the last time a PG led team won anything relevant...?
This 90's players analyst infested Media is full of Monkey brains.....
If the all-star wasn't position based, there would be 10 PG's and 2 frontcourt players..

The only people who seem "obsessed" with PGs are Apa_9 and Malik Hairston.
Classic dumb thread from Apa_9.
Every team that has won a championship since the Harper/Jordan Bulls (2 SGs) has had a PG. You're the one who obsesses over PGs-- stop trying to say it's everyone else who obsesses... it's not. It's you.
Btw, Apa_9, the apostrophes in "PG's" and "90's" are incorrect. It's PGs and 90s. I know you're really busy telling everyone how dumb they are and how smart you are, so I thought I'd help you out there.
They've "had" a PG in the same way that the Clippers "have" a small forward, the Cavs "have" a real big man, etc. Merely "having" a PG doesn't make them a team leader, a focal point or even any good. And the teams that build their offenses around point guards as the first option never win anything significant.
If it's good enough to win an NBA championship, then it's good enough to show stupid player fans that their obsessions are misguided.
Apalisoc proving to be a brain dead re again. During the 90's the media was not obsessed with PG's. Outside of MJ the talk back then was about bigmen. Considering the league was loaded with all-star centers and PF's.
PGs are the easiest to relate to for the average fan, for size reasons, tbh..most fans/young players grow up wanting to be PGs, you always have the ball in your hands, and it's just a more fun position to play IMO..
Not only for that reason, but they also produce the most highlights and aesthetically pleasing style of play..
Absolutely true. In answer to the OP, the obsession started with Magic and the showtime Lakers.
^ lol no. no one wants to be the guy passing to everyone else.
lol most highlights!!
another dumb take
Not PG led that year
that's why when you play pickup there are soooo many guys that play like point guards. lol
Uh, what? I didn't say anything about passing the ball, I said "having the ball in your hands"
Virtually all of the star PGs in this era are ball-dominant..
And ya, PGs are the most aesthetically pleasing to watch and easiest to relate to..the average American male is 5'10..
and 350 pounds
If you don't think there's an obsession with PGs, then you clearly haven't been following the NBA for the past 5 years..all we hear about is that "it's a PG league"..
I would say SG is the easiest position to relate to, and the one most people attempt to emulate, but yeah I mostly agree.
Don't see too many guys at the local gym trying to bang in the post
Bob Cousy was the first to be flashy and catch the attention of fans with behind the back & no look passes-- these plays were nicknamed "French Pastry" by Al McGuire, and the term caught on... long before Magic, who has said himself that he modeled parts of his game on Earl Monroe, who carried on the tradition form the 60s into the 70s.
what are you like the new koolaid man? threads left and right.
You're going way before my time thereThanks for the history lesson though tbh. I've seen footage of "Pistol" Pete Maravich doing insane things with the basketball; I will have to look up those players you mentioned
Exactly... that chucking, flopping got Curry is the darling of the league right now, for example.
those are guards masquerading as pgs. tbh. Everyone wants to be a SG
