During the earlier part of the game’s history, the center spot used to be the most important position because of the very fact that basketball is a game of inches. The taller and bigger a player is, the greater his advantage, especially because this sport involves putting the ball through a hoop suspended 10 feet off the floor. Naturally, players closer to the rim have the advantage. So, during the earlier years of the NBA, the point guard spot was not as important as it is now. Still, it was an essential role because point guards were tasked with giving the ball to the other players and setting up easy baskets. In short, the point of attack starts with them, and that is why they are essentially called “point” guards. They are also responsible for keeping the other point guards at bay. Nevertheless, the game has gone through a lot of changes since the NBA’s inception, allowing point guards as well as other positions to evolve. From mere passers, point guards turned into high-volume scorers. But even that was never new. Players like Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson, and Jerry West were great scorers, even though they were also known for their ability to create plays. Despite the fact that there were point guards who laid the groundwork for score-first guards, the point guard position was still focused on making plays. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
