If you're talking about winning championships, at least as history will tell it, your best player can't be your PG. Your second best player can't be a pg.
Whether he's a scorer, passer, whatever. If you're going to judge success in what wins in this league, then your best player, or your best two players can't be the point guard.

Jason Kidd was past his prime, but he did win as a starting point guard.

And yet the main purpose of a PG should be bringing the ball save to the other half of the court and create good plays for the team.
if the PG takes more shot than others he simply does not fullfil his purpose. Either the teammates suck in the offense or the PG is a ballhog.

Loosing in the 2nd round = loosing in the finals.
If you all agree with the fact that there are no moral victories out here, then one would think you guys would agree with that notion.
So based on the aforementioned, it would seem that there's very little to support the notion that you can win a ring with one of your best two players being the point guard.

No, he doesn't fulfill what youuuu feel is the purpose of a PG.
All you are doing is creating yourrrr rubric for what you think a PG should do. All teams aren't created the same. For some teams, i.e. the thunder, your standard for a PG isn't conducive for their success.

PG's are not shooting 38 times. Hell no. This new era of PG's are basically shorter SG's. It's not a knock on them but that's their game. And wasn't Westbrook a SG in college?
All PG's aren't created the same. Who's to say PG's can't be high volume scorers like Westbrook?
Just like Chris Paul is a PG, so is Russ. So is Rondo. So is Steph. So is Westbrook. All PG's aren't created the same.
PG can't be volume shooters. It goes against what the position is meant to be. Your job is to sit other dudes up then get yours. Allen Iverson was a SG in PG's body and that's what these dudes. We just gon have to agree to disagree.

To win ships,
Mario Chamlers - Handle the ball, hit 3s when needed to
Derek Fisher - Hits 3s on the kick out, strong and can handle the ball
Rondo - Can't shoot for **** but Created plays
Parker - Played Team ball, and could score - created plays for Duncan and Manu - He is a combo guard but not like Iverson and Russ
Billups - Rip Lead the team in scoring, billups 2nd - No idea how they beat the lakers lol
Steve Kerr - 3s all day
Kenny Smith and Sam Cassell - WIth the Rockets they Created for the Team
Yup, Look at the championship teams,
Mario Chamlers - Handle the ball, hit 3s when needed to
Derek Fisher - Hits 3s on the kick out, strong and can handle the ball
Rondo - Can't shoot for **** but Created plays
Parker - Played Team ball, and could score - created plays for Duncan and Manu - He is a combo guard but not like Iverson and Russ
Billups - Rip Lead the team in scoring, billups 2nd - No idea how they beat the lakers lol

Chauncey Billups, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Walt Fraizer, Big O, Tiny A, maybe Bob Cousy. You did say historically.

And this is where y'all don't get it. Forever the PG's job was to set other people up. In these last few years the position has changed. So he ain't creating his rubric. That's how it's always been taught.

Im not saying the PG can't be your best player, If you have a shoot first scoring PG you probably wont win a championship

Yea no. It called evolution. QBs were only meant to be statues in the pocket and throw passes. Doesn't make ARod not the best in the league cause he has mobility and can do other things.

1) Your list includes one player that has played in the NBA in the last 20 years. That is important of note, because evolution is real and it happens.
2) That pistons team was an anomoly because I can prove why Sheed and Ben were just as important / good as Billups to their success. Those other guys you mentioned I'll give you credit for, but I'm speaking more in terms of the last 20 years or so.

This is stupid. You're ignoring evolution. Like I said above, evolution is real and it happens. What it takes to win in the NBA is relative to an individual team and it's make up. You can't take an archaic view of what a PG should be, and then place it on every team in the league, disregarding the make up of said team, the current climate of the league, etc.
