re: Chris Paul

Yeah - I think CP3 would have a better shot at a title if he was playing with arguably the best big man of all time.

i want to see Paul do this a while longer before we toss around the Magic comparisons. This is what, Paul's 3rd year? Magic's 3rd year he nearly averaged a triple double, i think we are forgetting how he could dominate a game at nearly anytime, in nearly any aspect .....he just didn't have to all of the time b/c of his teammates.

Paul is the best PG in the game right now, but i'm not ready to go historical with him.

of course, this is all speculation right now. That's all we can do really because Paul has only played 3 seasons and 20 or so games

as 23 year olds:

Magic: 16PPG 10 AST 8 REB 2STLS 54%FG 80% FT

Paul: 19PPG 12AST 5REBS 2STL 50% FG 89% FT



Paul will never be the rebounder Magic was. Not with nearly 10" height differential. Can't really hold that against him. 5 boards a game is really fricking good for his size as is.

Paul is averaging 3 steals a game.

2.8

Paul rebounds well for his size, no doubt. But, when i start comparing all time greats everything matters....no excuses b.c someone is small. At this point, it looks like Paul's inability to rebound anywhere near as well as Magic, post up guards on offense, or defend large guards in the post may make it tough to make him as complete as Magic. But, Magic was just an absolute freak and no other PG in the history of the game measures up as of yet. Not a slam on Paul by any means.

if he didn't have two white first names he might be less anonymous.

it's better than being named Jason Williams. no, not that Jason Williams - the other Jason Williams. no no no - not the one in prison, the OTHEr Jason Williams....well, you get the drift

D. all of the above
