Most of us grew up playing a watching basketball when the game had defined positions and roles for each player on the court. And no player was as crucial as the point guard. Fortunately, over the years, the Texas Tech basketball program has had its share of excellent players at that position.
But more and more, the position is changing. Players like James Harden of the Houston Rockets, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors, and Kyrie Irving now of the Brooklyn Nets, have led the trend of point guards that are now not only their team’s primary ball-handlers, but they are also their team’s go-to offensive weapons like shooting guards were in the 1990s.
