the best _________'s job is to win the game
if westbrook puts his team in a position to win by scoring rather than passing when cp3 doesnt than he's the better player (i said if, i dont thing westbrook is better)
this true pg being the best kind of pg thing is a myth
For the most part it's true though in a few senses. Usually the PG is the smallest player on the floor. The smaller player on the floor is going to be less efficient at getting quality shots.
AND the PG is the gateway for the ball to get to the big men, who usually shoot the highest percentage.
So if your PG is shooting every time and not distributing, you get a low efficiency offense and all the other guys look like crap.
The Thunder have a system that works for them, though.
In general if your point guard is a scorer you need to have a certain type of system to be a good team, and the ball still needs to get shared.
Teams where the little guy takes every shot just aren't going to be efficient offensively (see Chicago Bulls).
Personally I hate watching scoring point guards. Guys like Steve Francis who chuck and chuck and waste the careers of their big men. I love Westbrook, but that's an exception. I also love the big PGs like GP and Chauncey who could post up and take advantage of mismatches, but they're not the same as these Iverson wannabes all over the place.
