Every team needs a GREAT shooting guard in order to win.
We all recognize the importance of having a good shooting guard by our side.

I firmly believe that for a team to win a championship and have success, it needs a solid shooting guard.
This is their most important role on the court, some basketball experts would argue, but it’s no secret that the best players that went in to the pages of history were shooting guards, such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant etc…
