What’s the most impressive example of a Non-Point Guard playing Point. UPDATE for the 50 Greatest vid: The editing for this one is taking a little longer than I expected, and with what feels like carpal tunnel in my wrist and hand, I’m needing to take more breaks between editing. Sorry its taking so long, but its gonna be done by the end of the month. I think my rankings of Wilt, Giannis, Isiah Thomas and Clyde Drexler will stir things up the most. Looking forward to it. haha.

@d.columbia9603 2 года назад

MJ was all about doing what needed to be done to win. Like Lebron he is absolutely capable of making a team better by helping create plays for them. But most often the best thing to do for his team was score as he was the best play maker. If you have a stacked shooter team then him being more pg oriented makes sense. However he didn't really play with a ton strong shooters teammates.

@Amick44 2 года назад

His detractors don't wanna see this. Or they choose to forget it. Collins knew MJ had exceptional passing ability & vision. As Pippen developed, it made sense to play Jordan off the ball more & utilize his unparalleled scoring ability. But Michael could distribute as well or better than all but the very top playmakers.

@jamiekelley4076 2 года назад

I think the Jordan stateline is the one a lot people would find to be the most interesting. There has become a narrative that Jordan was just a scorer and Lebron is the facilitator of the two. It's used as a common topic in the G.O.A.T. discussion to give Lebron an edge in a category. Personally I find it interesting because it goes to show that Jordan could really do just about anything on the court he wanted to and excel at it.

@AH-bm5xs 2 года назад

Very true. Jordan proved at one point or another that he’s the greatest player ever at almost every element of the game, big or small. There’s MJ, then there’s everyone else. Debate places 2-10 of the greatest basketball players ever. But number 1 is obvious and undoubtably Michael Jordan.

LeBron did not have to reinvent himself. He's always been the primary ball handler in heliocentric offenses around him. Having AD meant that he could do less on offense and he'd be able to have 10+ assist by just passing to AD. Michael Jordan also played the point in the NBA Finals in 91. Contrary to the popular narrative, he was the one guarding Magic and Pippen only helped a lot in G2 and whenever MJ was in foul trouble. I think he avg 31, 11 and 8 for that series.

It’s more appropriate to do GOATs by position - here’s my positional GOATs PG - Magic (Curry closing in) SG - Jordan SF - LeBron James PF - Duncan C - Kareem (Hakeem a close 2nd)

Why at the point guard spot everyone gets more rebounds? Now is it Russell Westbrook stat padding or it is just the point guard position?

@nikosofidemporas 2 года назад

I think the first half of Kobe's 2002-2003 season could be mentioned here. His numbers through 42 games were 27.2 ppg 7.6 rpg and 7.1 apg on 3.7 topg. I am not sure he was playing PG but he was facilitating at an elite level, having many 10+ assists nights and triple doubles since Shaq was battling with injury. Then after that period he started to become a lethal scorer having his 9-game 40 point streak and 13-game 35 point streak. Just prime Kobe stuff.

@melvynsngltn27 2 года назад

Meanwhile the Lakers were struggling to stay above 500

@nikosofidemporas 2 года назад

@@melvynsngltn27 Yeah Shaq missed most of his games during that stretch and was generally physically not great that season. Plus some players like Horry were having an off year (probably lack of drive after 3 straight championshpis). That'd why Kobe took it on his own hands and had that 35+-point stretch where Lakers won 11 out of 13 games.

2:20 It was Mike D'Antoni who decided to assign Kobe as the point guard, not Byron Scott

@jonnyarnett 2 года назад

Yes and no. The first stint I mentioned was under D'Antoni, and he appointed Kobe as the floor general, BUT Kobe didn't stay at Point Guard. The next season, Scott moved Kobe to Point AGAIN, so technically both coaches kinda did it. Here's evidence of Scott's decision bleacherreport.com/articles/2297732-point-guard-kobe-bryant-sums-up-everything-wrong-with-los-angeles-lakers

@@jonnyarnett alright I can see the validation. Although you can say it felt a bit off for me since after that you mentioned about the 6 games Kobe played which was in 2013-14 season where D’Antoni was still the coach, so yeah lmao
