Some of the greatest championship teams in the league's history had a point guard who allowed them to perform well on both ends of the floor because the role of the point guard is to make things easier for everyone. The '50s and '60s Boston Celtics had the services of Bob Cousy, who is regarded as the pioneer of the point guard position because of his excellent ball-handling skills and passing ability. The '60s and early '70s era of the Los Angeles Lakers thrived under the hot shooting and playmaking of Jerry West, who was so good that he was even used as the model for the NBA's logo. The 1971 championship team of the Milwaukee Bucks had Oscar Robertson, who was putting up triple-doubles at a rapid pace when he was still in his prime, handling the point, and passing the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And who could ever disregard Magic Johnson, the man responsible for the Los Angeles Lakers dynasty of the '80s and the playmaker regarded as the best to ever play at his position?
