OT-Can an NBA team win a championship with IT?

This reminds me of a Chris Rock line. ".....you could drive a car with your feet if you wanted to. Doesn't make it a good, f&*^ing idea." Defense from your point guard is a good, f^&%ing idea.

A PG as a defensive anchor? No thanks.

I didn't say defensive anchor, although I don't understand why the highest level of defense concentrated on an opponent's starting point of attack would necessarily be a bad thing...... Plain and simple, defense and offense are not mutually exclusive. The more defense a team plays is a good thing, and a pg that plays defense is better than a pg that doesn't play defense.

If a PG is also a primary scorer (in the case of Thomas) then his defense can be covered for more or less by surrounding him with defensive bigs. Yeah sure it's nice if a PG can play both sides of the ball but they aren't going to throw IT away because he cant defend like a bigger pg could.

I agree defense should be more of a team culture.

If IT was your 3rd best player then yes. Certainly couldn't win it with him as your best player.

You can't get more accurate than that IMO. Might as well close the thread now because that can't be topped...

I didn't read the thread, so I'm sure that's been acknowledged several times throughout lol
