How come SG never go #1?

Because no one builds a team around a SG. It's the same reason MJ wasn't picked #1 in 84. History shows that the teams, who build their rosters around bigs (Russell,Wilt,Kareem,Hakeem,Shaq,Duncan) are more successful in the long run. There are only a couple exceptions like the 90s Bulls and the 00-10 Lakers with Kobe. Only 2 franchises in NBA history have won multiple titles led by a SG. Heat are an exception with Wade winning one in 06.

And both of those were coached by Phil Jackson, running the triangle offense. Will that ever happen again? Probably not.

because sgs are not known for the all round game. they are just for the offensive game.

Sadly I think not. I'm surprised Phil still hasn't gotten a role in the Lakers franchise though, Jimbo must really hate the man or something. I'd love Phil in the Pat Riley role.

Jim isn't very smart, hell look how long it took him to wise up on the Bynum for Dwight Howard deal. There was a time Jim would of never traded Bynum for anyone short of Lebron James.
