Point guard position

Basketball has always been my passion, so I take my ball as soon as I finish my homework or study, it's a kind of way I always use to relax myself throwing one and another time to the basket. People who don't like this sport is in the habit of thinking that the basketball is based only in putting the ball into a simple basket, but it isn't.

Everybody know that's the objective to win a match, but this sport, like others, go more there. There are five positions in basketball. I want to explain more about, and describe, my favorite one, point guard position. Other positions existing are shooting guard, small forward, power forward and finally, center.

In sport always have to be one person who directs to others. In all sports this person is the coach, but in basketball we could say there are twice, in different places. Particularly in this sport, there are a person who controls every movement of his team, this person is the point guard. He usually is the fastest player on the team and is who directs the offense of his team controlling the ball and making sure that it gets to the right player at the right time. This player has to have a very good domain of the ball with a great speed of his hands and movements to make sure he won't miss the ball stole by one adversary using driblings or crossovers.

Definitely is the person who have to control the match and impose the kind of rhythm he want to the play of his team. So this player is the best passing the ball between the players and he has to be a well long distance shouter. History of basketball had had a great players in this position, but the most important in my opinion because of his talent are: Walt Frazier, Bob Cousy, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Sarunas Jasikevicius, Dejan Bodiroga, Theodoros Papauloukas, Mo Williams, Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, Jerry West, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Lenny Wilkins, Gary Payton, Dennis Johnson and the most important and the best between point guards, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, whose play was considered a kind of magic to the people who hadn't seem another player like him, creating his team play: The Showtime. There is also a "play maker" we can to consider but he isn't a point guard, the incredible, Larry Bird.
