Most Important Basketball Position

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this topic; if this is the wrong place, please moderators, change the location of this thread. Thanks.

The question for this thread is: Which position is the most important for basketball teams?

Here are a list of the positions and what they're primary objective is:

Point Guard - Also known as the "quarterback" of basketball. They're supposed to understand their coach's game plan, figure out ways to use their coach's game plan, and be able to control the game tempo. On defense, they're to cause as much chaos on the other point guard; to prevent the other team from organizing. (Example: Magic Johnson and Steve Nash)

Shooting Guard - They're the ones who score most of the points. Their role is to score as many points possible for their teams. On defense, they're to shut down the other shooting guard. (Example: Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant)

Small Forward - Known to be very versatile (and very athletic). Responsible for scoring inside and outside and getting rebounds. On defense, they're known to have to be the best defenders on the team, being able to defend inside and outside. (Example: Larry Bird and LeBron James)

Power Forward - Could be known as a "fast center". The power forward is very similar to a center in that he uses his body to score on the inside and get rebounds, but can score better at mid-range and is faster than an average center. (Example: Charles Barkley and Dirk Nowitzki)

Center - Known to be the "anchor" for team's defenses. This player uses their size and strength to score and get rebounds. On defense, they keep opposing players away from being close to the goal, block shots, and get rebounds. (Example: Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard)
