While it talks about the position from NBA point of view, a similar evolution in WBB, where so many young players emulate NBA players, can be seen. Some new rules in WBB, such as cutting down on hand checks on the perimeter, seem to have their origin in NBA with the same purpose.

How many remember all the players referenced?
Stephen Curry -- The new standard
...Curry, who looks like a chemist but plays point guard in the most mesmerizing fashion.

There have been other sweet-shooting NBA point guards: Nash and Mark Price top the list. But there's never been a player who shoots so well from so deep while taking so many shots. Curry can shoot better than Nash and score as much as Iverson, all with Pistol Pete creativity and flamboyance. And he still averages seven assists per game for his career.
