Stephen A talking about Cp3 and the Pelicans by TeddyPadillacquote:Name 2 other players (besides LeGOAT) that are better than him when taking into consideration playing both defense AND offense...I'll wait... KD and Kawhi easily Russell Westbrook. Twice now he has led shitty teams to 45+ wins. AD can't seem to win more than 34 with his shitty teams. Steph Curry's offense is so elite that it makes up for his defense, which isn't as bad as people assume Kyrie Irving, same as Curry Jimmy Butler and if i was picking today, for one year, i'd take CP3 over AD. I don't care what anyone says about CP3 and his lack of success, he has always shown up in the playoffs. Same can't be said for his teammates. I have more faith in CP3 closing a team out than AD. AD, while he's gotten to be a better scorer on offense, has never taken that step where he pulls his team to victory in the closing minutes of games. The Pels have one of the worst records in the NBA when it comes to games decided by a few points in the closing minutes. They don't have a closer, and for whatever reason, AD hasn't learned yet how to be that closer consistently. You don't have to make all the shots every night to be the closer, but you need to have a large say in how the game ends, whether you're taking the shots or you are finding open teammates.
