if its so easy why hasn't he had as much playoff success as those guys or any of the other elite point guards

I think a couple of guys named Earvin and Isiah may question that...

Billups and Parker may disagree with that too. And really other recent Finals MVP's like Wade, Kobe and Lebron who didn't officially have the "point guard" title but were the primarily ballhandlers and playmakers on their teams.

You're basically talking in circles, you're saying pg's don't lead teams to championships but if you're starting a team you're to take a pg that has never come close to winning anything.
