Position with the least responsibilities?

[jlip]

WOW! Some people managed to actually turn this into a Kobe vs. Lebron thread.

Anyways, I do understand that many variables were left out of the OP, but one thing that was specific was that the team's system was traditional...no triangle offense which doesn't require a pg and no hybrid players whereas forwards and shooting guards were functioning as point guards.

1. SG <---- least responsibilities
2. SF
3. PF
4. Combo-Guard
5. C
6. PG
7. Point-Forward <---- most responsibilities

once again pauks low IQ has been exposed. The op said no hybrid

I've played 1-5. Sure not at the NBA level... but in HS, Rec and pick up ball. It's really not hard to see why the wing/perimeter positions are the easiest. There is a lot more you can do wrong as a PG, C and even PF.

Rec/pickup ball? Duh, you can just stand outside, shoot and defend in rec/pickup situation.

But a real traditional SG has a lot more responsibility than that.

lebron on the 4ths obviously. unless you think spectators got responsibilities...

We saw it this year.

Lebron was MUCH more dominant with the cavs than he was with the Heat because he got to control the ball more. He still produced very well on the Heat, but clearly not as well as his strengths could have allowed.

And every single year of Lebron's career, he never has played on a team that has actually RAN an offense.

Mike Brown=defensive coach who coasted on Lebron's ball dominating skills to carry the offense.

Erik Spoelstra=defensive coach who relied on the iso abilities of three superstars to carry the offense.

He's never played in a traditional offense where the ball is passed around over and over looking for the best shot. It's just give Lebron the ball and he'll either score in an iso set, or he'll dish it when the help comes. Thats it.

It would be hilarious to compare his overall floor game to a guy like Pippen, who was much more versatile and knew all the spots to be in when he didn't have the ball[an essential skill when you're playing with other great players].

You say we saw that this year and then go onto say that he's never been on a team that ran an actual offense....

Shooting Guard and small forward.


Most difficult position to play are the Pg and Center position. You need a point guard who's has an excellent court vision, good decision maker, good ball handler, and he needs to be capable of breaking down the defense on the perimeter.

Your Center needs to be a good rebounder, and shot blocker. He's the one who's going to be blame if the opposing team easily drives, scores, and penetrates the basket.

This thread is stupid. Your responsibility depends on your team and skill level not position.

[Heisenberg]

LOL! Every position in the court has its own importance.

I think SF is the one with the least responsibilities. Like what do they do?

[Lebron23]

I think SF is the one with the least responsibilities. Like what do they do?

They are a taller and a better rebounding shooting guard.

[Bandito]

They are a taller and a better rebounding shooting guard.

But SG has to share playmaking responsibilities with the PG. What does the SF does? He is the most hybrid of the players on the court. Not really a guard but not really a center anyways. These days the are mostly backcourt players, another SG to say the least.

[INDI]

This is pure bullshit. Lebron wouldnt fit on a team that stresses ball movement and teamwork? Really?

I think what hes saying is that lebron isnt capable of filling a role like say if you put him on the spurs. They would have to change their offense to cater to him instead of just replacing him with kawhi.

You know for a fact that bron wouldnt let parker be the ball dominant pg that hes been over the years and would want to take control of the offensive flow from him

[ZenMaster]

What a stupid thread.
