True Point Gaurds

To be a true pure point guard you have to have these following skills.
  • The ability to score when your team needs it.
  • A great passer.
  • Know every positions spot and where they are supposed to be.
  • You have to be able to dribble to anywhere on the court and out of traps.
  • See the open man.
  • Make the people around you better.
  • Be a leader.
  • Great listening skills.
  • Be in the game at all time both mentally and physically.
  • Be able to run plays.
  • Create plays on and off the dribble.
  • Etc.
Many will always remember such players like Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson and etc. They are the greatest point guards in history and are known for the will to win, great handles, killer plays, and the ability to get their team mates in the game. In order to win , you need all five players not just one. There are many talented players today,but most lack the skill to get their team mates in the game. Let's face it the generations upon generations of point guards are getting stingier by the bunch. Why is this? Most point guards girls and or boys go into straight "zombie mode", when all they want to do is shoot. Take Russel Westbrook for example, he is a true ball hog and he has an attitude problem,he could be so great, but just those little flaws are stopping him from reaching his true potential . Everyone can't be a superstar. Why do players do this? Feel free to comment.
