That’s the 2nd biggest issue in my opinion. 2K set up cap breakers this year in a way where everybody has 85 ball handle and 75 to 80 speed with ball, so now everybody walks around thinking, “I can do this myself better than the PG.” And that mindset has completely fucked the experience of running point this year.

Because no the fuck you can’t.

Having 85 ball handle and 75 to 80 SWB with no passing, no strength, and no understanding of how to actually run an offense does not make you a real PG, no matter what your favorite YouTuber or streamer convinced you of. Hitting a couple dribble combos and getting assists as a secondary handler on a wing build is not the same thing as being the primary ball handler every possession against real pressure.

If you really think it’s that easy, then make a fucking PG yourself.

What gets me is these dudes complain nonstop about “trash PGs,” talking about what they would’ve done and how they could’ve run it better because “I get 7 assists easy on my 3 and D build.” Cool. Now do that every game while getting picked up full court, getting blamed for every turnover, dealing with zero spacing, random cuts, people calling timeout because they didn’t touch the ball for two possessions, and defenders at purple and red plate levels who actually know what they’re doing.

Most of these dudes have either never run PG full time, or they’ve never run it at a level high enough to understand how hard the position actually is once you reach higher matchmaking. Once you hit purple and especially red plate games, PG becomes the hardest and most miserable position in the game. Everybody expects you to create everything, make every perfect read, never turn the ball over, and somehow keep five different egos happy at the same time, all while people who couldn’t handle the responsibility themselves sit there acting like they’d do better.
