if he stays healthy and continues to develop he will. his numbers are already on par with johnson's best seasons. but regardless of how well he performs individually most people won't acknowledge him being that great unless he wins some titles

Still too early in his career to answer A, B, or C.

But I will go with:

D. Best point in the NBA right now.

Chris Paul will never be better than Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson, especially if he doesn't win a title.

his first 4 years are >>> johnson's first 4 years. this season for paul is almost as good as any season johnson had in his career. i don't see how anyone can say that it's out of the realm of possibility. especially when you factor in that most PG's have a late developmental arc

As if Magic is untouchable...

If Paul continues on his pace for a while, he will at least be equal to Magic.

he is not even going to be considered better than steve nash at this rate. how many nba mvps has cp3 one again?

and with the shape of the current nba landscape odds are he never will win one.

CP3 has nothing on Magic and never will. CP3 is 6'0 and Magic was 6'7, that's the difference. Magic was a better defender and better rebounder due to this, but was equally effective regarding court vision and scoring.

Magic could also play multiple positions due to this height.

kobe has titles and a national following that believes he is one of the best ever.

cp3 has a local fanbase of hornet fan nutjobs who believe he is the best.

people in ohio probably wouldnt even recognize chris paul if he knocked on their front door.

Everything except that has zero to do with how good of a player he is.
