Man I love being PG, I think its better than when I used to play center. And yeah its just gives you the feeling that you ARE what happens for your team.

EDIT: Oh and I found some tips for PG's and guards.

I remember a moment when my friend is guarding me. He was trying to steal the ball but keep missing it, by a little bit. He was like astonished. In reality I only made the ball bounce a bit higher or lower.
Finally, if the defender is guarding you really close, drive to one side, do a very fast crossover without stopping your drive, and respond accordingly to your opponent's reaction.
Normally people aren't very good at guarding driving opponents unless they really have a good change of direction.
Thanks alot. This will definitely help me. Come to think of it i never used the behind the back dribble,only the behind the back crossover and its rare that i do it I guess ill start practicing that then.

No problem. Personally I played basketball for a year plus only but as long as you reflect on your game and study NBA players you will improve a lot.

i like pg cause you get to do all the flashy stuff and really stand out from the other players, and im not tall. I do alot of fingertip drills to improve ball handling. my favorite gaurd is Pistol Pete by far.

A pg is a general basically. Call the plays. Execute them, etc. It's a huge challenge.
