There’s no more glamorous position in basketball than that of shooting guard. And the Texas Tech basketball program has had its share of amazing snipers.
Maybe it is because my generation was introduced to the game when Michal Jordan was at his peak and then we watched as Kobe Bryant took over the mantle of the game’s best player during our college years but most of us love watching shooting guards more than any other position.
However, in the modern-day game, every guard on the floor considers himself a shooter. But for most of the existence of the game as we know it with defined positions and set roles, shooting guard was what everyone wanted to play.
