All of this discussion about Grant Hill and what position he'll play has 
inspired me to re-release the OFFICIAL Usenet Basketball Team Position
Definitions:

Center - The tallest player on the team.  He's supposed to get rebounds.  If he
scores or blocks shots in addition to getting rebounds, he's an All-Star.  If
he does two other things besides get rebounds he's an MVP and/or future Hall of
Fame member.

Power Forward - The second tallest player on the team.  PF's are like centers,
except they look at the basket instead of have their backs to it.

Small Forward - A small forward is not a guard, not a center, and not a PF.
Other than that, noone is quite sure what they do, so anything they do is OK.

Shooting Guard.  He scores.  He doesn't pass.  If a player scores and passes,
he is an All-Star.  If he scores and passes a lot, he's an MVP and/or a future
Hall of Fame member.

Point Guard.  He passes the ball.  He doesn't shoot the ball, EVER!!!  If a PG
does shoot the ball, then he is a SG playing out of position.

I hope this helps ( :) ).
