OFFICIAL 2021 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - YAWNIST WITH THE CLOSEOUT 50 PIECE - BUCKS WITH FIRST CHIP SINCE ‘73 - CP0 LOSES AGAIN

[B Sox]

Man they was never MVP level players.

Thought you would say Tony Parker but even he went back and forth with Tim.

I didn't realize being an MVP candidate was part of this conversation? You just said CP was the only PG doing it. Which he wasn't.

They used to call Bron a "point forward"
I see both sides of the argument because he did handle ball handling duties most of his career but it depends if you look at it with the whole point forward thing or if you want to ignore the depth chart and call him the point guard. It's tough for me to call him a guard but I get it.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

You always wanna be difficult. Mans been a SF his entire career. Ain't going to argue with you about this.

Argue with Mike Brown, not me.

Still, you’d be hard-pressed to find a team without a designated point guard—even in today’s mostly positionless NBA. Shooting guards and forwards might now all be “wings,” and centers may be going extinct, but most teams still charge specific players with running their attacks. The role remains unique. And it’s one James has always held.

“He was a point guard with us from Day One,” said Mike Brown, who took over as the Cavaliers’ head coach in 2005, James’ third season in the NBA, and coached him for five years. “He brought the ball up, he initiated the offense, he did everything.”

LeBron James Might Be The Best Point Guard Ever | SLAM

It’s time to finally admit what we’ve all known: LeBron James is a pure point guard. And he might be the best to ever play the position.

If LeBron was a Point Forward, then Magic was a Point Forward.

They both were Primary Ball Handlers.

Magic rarely defended opposing PGs.

Bron occasionally guarded opposing PGs.

Not sure how one IS a PG and the other isn't.

Why? Because their coach wrote certain letters by their names while filling out the scorer's book before the game?

It is ILLOGICAL to think otherwise.

But I know yall don't like being challenged.

No big deal in Brooklyn
Kyrie don’t need no coach
Team can coach themselves

 

[HOU$TON]

Rockets twitter is the most entertaining NBA twitter fanbase. They're in shambles

It’ll be chaos if that pick falls to #5 and we lose it

 

[friscostylez]

although cliff played great in this series, let's not pretend he didn't do it against a team that can't defend the pick & roll.

gonna be way tougher in the next round

Where was Marbury leading his teams to? BDiddy also went back and forth with Mashburn. He didn't always lead his teams in scoring. I'll break it down a lil better, by the time CP3 was 22 was leading winning teams. Consistently.

Yea he just casually threw that in there just now.

Have fun.

I ain't **** change about what position Lebron played in LA except he publicly said he was a point guard in the preseason.

Literally nothing

Is Giannis a PG too then? We just going to call all primary ball handlers PGs?

 

[thekillerj23]

Even if James or Kyrie don’t comeback, KD should be expected to get win being the best player in the world. Bron still got that slander after 2015, so Kd should expect the same if he don’t pull it out

Laker fans with that #NTLogic of thinking the world (internet) started and ended with them.

 

[B Sox]

Bron has been top 15 in the league in APG every year of his career and is 8th on the all-time assists list with no other non-PG in the top 25. He always has the ball in his hands orchestrating the offense. How does that not make him a PG?

KD will get fired up if he isn't able to "Win by himself."

I support local players and always will but this will be a funny turn of events.

Don't expect an answer.

LeBron James: Best PG Of All Time.

 

[MVP]

He's been a point forward for the majority of his career. One of the best passers of all time.

You're moving goal posts now. Literally no one is arguing that CP isn't better than those guys.

You just said he was the ONLY PG leading his team in scoring during that time. Which was false.

That's all.

 

[MVP]

So who's the best SF of all time then?

Well he is the best Point Forward of all time.

Magic is second.

Bird then KD.
