So how does that effect how good he is as an individual player?


obviously it doesnt but his career will be judged by the following criteria:

A: how many titles his team won
B: how many mvps did he win



C: individual statistics

I'm not sure Paul is even better than Deron Williams. They're different types of PGs, but Deron has proven he's the better player head to head.


i've seen you post this multiple times and i don't know how you can actually believe it. paul significantly outperforms williams in every possible way. the only thing williams has going for him is the fact that his superior size and equivalent athleticism give paul fits head to head. to claim he's as good as paul or better is fricking idiotic. it would be similar to trying to claim that nadal is a better player than federer. here are their stats the past two seasons just to drive the point home a little so that maybe you'll stop posting that claim repeatedly:

2007:
Paul - 21.1 PPG, 48.8 FG%, 11.6 AST, 2.7 STL, 2.5 TO, 28.39 PER
Williams - 18.8 PPG, 50.7 FG%, 10.5 AST, 1.1 STL, 3.4 TO, 20.75 PER

2008:
Paul - 19.8 PPG, 50.7 FG%, 11.9 AST, 2.6 STL, 3.0 TO, 30.53 PER
Williams - 12.9 PPG, 41.9 FG%, 10.1 AST, 1.0 STL, 3.6 TO, 16.55 PER

Playoffs:
Paul - 24.1 PPG, 50.2 FG%, 11.3 APG
Williams - 20.2 PPG, 46.8 FG%, 9.2 AST

williams is a great player and clearly the second best point guard in the league, but he's not on paul's level

I dunno if Williams has equivalent athleticism... his lateral quickness is rather mediocre.

Who averages more rebounds? CP3 is pulling down a ton this year.

Just looked it up, CP3 is averaging more than TWICE the amount of rebounds Williams is this year. Crazy, Williams is much bigger than Paul but getting many less rebounds per game.

How old was Nash when he won his first MVP?
How old is Paul now?

I think Paul is a really good player, but I also think he starts alot of shite on the court. Everytime there is a scuffle it seems like he is in the middle of it. I will always remember him for the ball punching incident in college and I think that dirty play is still in him. I don't care what the player said to him if that had been any other player who did not become a hornet you would not justify it. I know he does alot of community things which is great, but on the court I see him as a punk. Steve Nash is the same way, always in the middle of a scuffle. The way he acts on the court remind me of Bowen, good player who does things to piss off other players in the league.

Chris Paul suddenly developed a New Orleans accent. Did anybody catch his post game comments, or does he always talk like that

While what he did in college was punk-ish and bitch-ish, he hasn't done anything else to warrant that reputation.
