That is why the initial version of the sport allowed big men to rise up and become the best players in the NBA. Of course, the current version of the league is different because smaller players are now allowed to dominate using their speed and skills. But there was a time when guards or smaller players were at a disadvantage. That was why their only job was to pass the ball. Point guards rose to become key parts of an offensive system, not because the offense revolved around them but because their role was to set the team up and ensure that everyone on the floor got an open look. Playmakers needed to bring the ball up the floor against defensive pressure, tell their teammates where they needed to go, and use their dribbling moves and passing abilities to find open teammates for easier shots. Of course, this evolved to become the dominant role of a point guard, as this position is essentially basketball’s version of football’s quarterback. As the game continued to evolve, point guards not only became primary playmakers but also big parts of the offense. Players like Magic Johnson, Penny Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Chris Paul, and Steve Nash could set the offense up but also score themselves from time to time. Then, the game changed even further, allowing players like Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard, and Luka Dončić to not only lead their teams in assists but also score at will. Today, point guards are now asked to score and make plays at high levels, allowing them to become the most critical parts of an offensive system. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
