Can you be the best player in th eleague but not the best at your position?

[miggyme1]

Ok so over the weekend i got into a heated debate with a guy at Dave and busters. He claimed that steph curry is the best player in the league but he believes damian lillard is the best pg in the league.

I explained to him that makes no sense. He said that steph curry transcends his position because that's how great he is so you cant consider him a pg. WTF???

Just curious to see what other people think.

[choppermagic]

Yes you can.

If you define positions as having certain "roles" then you might not be the best at them but excell in something else that makes you more valuable to the team overall.

For example PG - distribute the ball, run the plays, keep people involved. If your PG is instead scoring 35ppg but not doing the typical roles, then another PG might be a better point guard but worse player overall because you are doing other things.

This can also happen when players play out of position

This argument parallels the rivalry between two magicians of the film The Prestige:


[to Borden] You always were the better magician. We both know that. Whatever your secret was, you have to agree, mine is better.

Angier is saying that Borden was the superior magician, but Angier had the better magic trick.

Damon Lillard might be a better point guard, but Curry is the better player. :cheers:

Top 3 Nolan film.

What do you have above it?

Dark Knight, Inception, Memento?

[nba_55]

1. Memento
2. The Dark Knight
3. Inception
4. The Prestige

[ShawkFactory]

1. Memento
2. The Dark Knight
3. Inception
4. The Prestige
Exactly this order for me, so I guess I should have said top 4.

I flip flop on DK vs Inception. Probably liked Inception better upon first viewing but DK more in subsequent viewings.

Memento is in my top 5 overall.

[Inferno]

I have to give Memento another watch to evaluate it better. First time I watched it a few years back I was confused as **** and had to Wikipedia the plot after it ended to make sense of all of it :facepalm

[Inferno]

Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker makes the DK for me :applause:

Yea its definitely one of those that gets better after watching 2,3, even 4 times.

Fortunately I'd been told about how confusing it was and that it was best to not even really try to hurt your brain following it exactly. the fist time. Just that watching it a couple more times after will do the trick.

I was still blown away by the ending the first time I saw it though.

But I definitely also have a couple friends who feel like you do in that it was maybe TOO complex. And I understand that.

Dark Knight, Inception, Memento?
Interstellar
Memento
Inception
Dark Knight
Dark Knight Rises

That happened to me with interstellar, but I still didn't get it with wikipedia. Too many physics shits.

[Gileraracer]

Let's call the thread "your favorite movie"

[navy]

Yeah except Lillard in this case is neither

[feyki]

People thinks point guard means playmaker . They mentions like CP3 type player above Rose or West type player .

Godly comparison, :bowdown:

[Duderonomy]

I'm watching Interstellar right now.
Nolan is my favorite current filmmaker so I'm surprised I haven't watch it yet. It doesn't look bad but I just haven't had the urge to set through 3 hours of it.
