You’re confusing best with Finals MVP. Curry was the best player on all 4 title teams.
Kyle Lowry was starting PG for the Raptors. And who cares what the team was “built” around? You usually need a great one to win a title- Tony Parker, Chauncey Billups, Jason Kidd, Steph Curry, Jrue Holliday,Rajon Rondo, Kyrie Irving and Kyle Lowry are all All Star PGs and won 14* of the last 21 titles and Nuggets win nothing without Murray. By talking about the last 30 years, you seem to be hung up on Phil Jackson’s 10 title teams but those were built on the Triangle which didn’t require a traditional PG. Even so, Paxson and Fisher were incredible in their role. You can’t roll out an average PG and win a title unless you have LeBron/Wade/Bosh. Celtics keep trying to do it with Smart and it ain’t working.
He wasn't better than Durant, and I said he was better than Igoudala although Iggy won FMVP. I've also said multiple times that Curry is one of the exceptions.
Raptors didn't win jackshit without Kawhi and Lowry had a pretty mediocre system averaging 14&8. (Kawhi most important.)
Parker (is maybe) one exception, although they had Kawhi and Duncan and Manu. (I'll give you Parker, although I don't truly believe it.)
Jason Kidd was 38(?) and averaged a whopping 8 & 8. (Dirk was most important.)
Jrue Holiday? Great? You can't be serious. (Giannis was more important).
Chauncey, sure.
Rondo? More important than Pierce, KG, Allen? Lol, ok.
Kyrie? The same Kyrie that couldn't do a fucking thing with Luka, loaded Boston teams, and actually achieved something with... LEBRON?
And I was originally looking at the last 10 years but it was overwhelmingly dominated by wings. So I started looking at 20. Then I started looking at 30 to try and get to Isiah Thomas and Magic (even though he wasn't a short guard) to make it even more favorable for points guards, at which point I still hadn't reached them so I gave up counting.
BTW - 21 of the last 21 NBA champions had an all-star at a position other than " point guard", but that's pretty open-ended so let's say taller than 6'7, so your little 14 of the last 21 titles had all-star PGs means diddly, including the most recent NBA champion. Celtics were also trying to do it with Kyrie and it wasn't working. Oh and by the way, the Celtics have constantly been in the conference finals and made it to the finals "without a PG". They also got beat by a team without a "great PG" in the Miami Heat. Interestingly enough, both the teams without a great PG made it to the ECF, but the teams with good-to-great PGs didn't... and in the WCF you had the Nuggets, who do have a good PG (never been an all-star though) and the Lakers who had horrific PG play.
Interesssssting...
So out of both conference finals and finals teams, there was a collective 0 all-star point guards.
Meanwhile, there were at least *8* all-stars who made it that weren't point guards and virtually all of them over 6'6...
Jokic
Bam
Butler
Tatum
Brown
Horford (lol)
Anthony Davis
Lebron James
Like I said, I didn't say point guards are worthless, but they're certainly not the most valuable position and you're almost certainly not winning a championship building a team around a point guard. It's almost like having an all-star taller than 6'6 or so is a requirement to even compete...
