Is it nowadays, or is it always? How often have pass-first point guards led their teams to championship? Cousy, Magic... Anyone else?
The game has changed a lot and this is an old notion, these days. Just like. like feed the post is has become antiquated. The three point shot, not only affected bigs it has affected guards and what a makes a good one in the league's eyes.
Guards who shoot, are the considered the best PG, these days. It is sad as good passing is something to fun to watch.
