Y'all acting like point guards lead teams to championships lol. 

Outside of Steph Curry, Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson. I would love to see y'all name a PG that leads a dominate team as the best player.

 

First off, those 3 PGs have 9 championships between them.

 

The non-point guards?

 

Jordan has 6

Duncan has 5

Kobe has 5

Wade has 4

Shaq has 4

Lebron has 3

 

Second, there have been PG dominant teams that have lost in the Finals.  Allen Iverson is the guy that Kyrie could compare to, from a scoring and ball dominant standpoint.   Jason Kidd, who made it to 2 Finals, was ball dominant from a playmaking standpoint.  Gary Payton and John Stockton. were the leaders of their team.  And Tony Parker has an NBA Finals MVP award, along with Chauncey Billups.

Iverson, Stockton, Parker, and Billups will all be in the Hall of Fame one day.  Westbrook and Chris Paul will be too.

And so will Kyrie Irving.

When AI made the finals, my only question was whether he would be swept or win one game.  (Not that this means that points can't be the best player on a championship team in this era).

I think this further proves my point lol even with a hall of fame level PG it won't be enough for any team to win a championship. It takes a lot more surrounding talent.

You could make the same point about HOF centers (like Ewing) or wings (TMac) or forwards (the Chuck wagon), etc.  Not many players can make it on their own.

Not even LeBron made it on his own. He was the best player on the planet and even he needed Wade & Bosh and Kyrie & Love to win titles...

EDIT: That 2011 title for the mavs vs the Big3 was so sweet!!!

Yessssss, it was. And I've tried to never reveal this, but as some others here have their Bucks and T'Woves to pull for after their Hawks, I don't exactly hate the Spurs and Mavs

Al tears titties like Kevin Nash tears quads.
