Yeah I'm watching. You can't really argue with him. Paul a numbers freak but he doesn't win. Is he wrong?

I don't get the criticism. Everyone can't win.

Some players are good enough to look like they're first tier players at times, but they're not good enough to sustain that level of play in the playoffs. That's what CP3 is. It's a step beneath Lebron, KD, Kawhi.

CP3 being a "loser" is a side effect of the max salary. He's paid just as much as those elite players, but he's not as good. The elite players, because they're better, have an easier time putting together a winning team than the guy that is getting paid the same as them but isn't as good. Sounds like common sense but it's really that simple.

CP3 has had the career that Steph would've had if he never had those early ankle issues.
