[@nigelee]

I've watched Chris since his NO days, and I've been fascinated not only by the evolution of his game, but by how divisive the discourse around him is. Chris serves as a kind of Rorschach test of what you value in basketball. A lot of basketball hipsters revere his skill and play making, see him as some kind of Platonic ideal of the point guard. And then you have the casual ringz culture types who get their knowledge off 2K and gambling sites, who value stats above all else, and are left bewildered and resentful of the acclaim he receives, especially if they think it comes at the expense of players they prefer. Chris in my eyes is both a massive overachiever, who could be even better if not for his stubborn personality and play style. His impact on the court, on both ends, is wildly out sized in relation to his size and athleticism, yet his dogged reluctance to hunt own shot until the 4th quarter hurts his teams, and his insistence on playing massive minutes has no doubt contributed to his infamous injury history. Chris constantly tries to play the game he's got in his head, not the one he's playing on the court, and that leaves him inflexible and slow to adapt, despite all his brilliance. Nevertheless, he's my favorite point guard to watch. There are so many flashes of past greats in his game, from Stockton to Hardaway to Nash, even Tony Parker before he hurt his knee. But his insistence on only playing in his comfort zone has cost him greater success, maybe even a ring.

[@Smido83]

He is 4th in my all time PG ranking, slightly in front of the Big O, Stockton and Kidd... but behind Magic, Curry, Thomas. If we would only count the reg Season he would even be 3rd, maybe even 2nd. Depending on how much you value MVP's and scoring over consistent elite play at both ends. He is a first ballot HOF'er, no question. But I have to agree that his BB mind is his biggest strengh and weakness at the same time. Hence why he has so many PO series losses after 2-0 leads. He wants to play his game and doesnt want to (or isnt able to) adapt to opponents if they change their gameplans. Its mindblowing that CP3 has more then twice as many 2-0 leads blown (5) than any other player in NBA history... except one guy, Blake Griffin, who is at 3! I wonder who he played with...

You can tell someone's knowledge of the game instantly by how they talk about Chris Paul. You really got kids putting guys like Kyrie and Westbrook over him all time

[@lotuslife3239]

Westbrook would bully CP3 1 on 1 and Lob City Clippers woulda been even more dangerous if it was Dunk City Clippers with Russ. CP chokes in the playoffs regardless but turns the ball over even more than Westbrook does when Russ guards him. He's overrated very high IQ but ultimately can't make it happen injury free. One of the greatest pgs ever tho

[@lotuslife3239]

@legittaco5899 ur delusional. Westbrook without having to be a #1-#2 option offensive player can easily be a better defender than Paul. He has a higher defensive rating over the past few years. If u looked it up Westbrook over his career is not only more efficient than Chris Paul in the paint, but he is also around the same percentage as Paul from mid range. While Paul is high IQ and plays at a slower pace, has a more controlled ball handle and can shoot the 3 better, he still isn't the most efficient player. Westbrook is not only bigger but stronger and faster. 1 on 1 Paul can't handle him. Pat Bev called Paul a cone he only ever been good cause he had good teams with defense and good systems.

[@nigelee]

@@lotuslife3239 I have no idea where you are getting your stats from. Just go to Statmuse and do a quick search. Chris is more efficient than Russ from everywhere. Not just from 3 or mid range, but also at the rim. Chris has a career % of 56, Russ is at 53.8. And its kinda ironic you attribute Paul's defense to his teammates, but use defensive rating to hype up Russ. Defensive rating is notoriously influenced by the players on the court. Its useless as a gauge of a player's individual ability.

@@lotuslife3239 basketball isnt a 1v1 game though. Russ played with great defenders through his career so theres no excuse for him being a worse defender than cp3. Russ was a great regular season player but CP3's game was better for the playoffs, CP3 was a far more efficient player than Russ

You cant allways blame the Franchise. He sometimes is his own biggest enemy, specially in the Playoffs. Its not just the franchise if CP3 has more 2-0 leads blown in the PO then any player in NBA history. He has 5... 5 times being up 2-0 and still loosing the series. and overall he lost 7 PO series after being up at any point. Also an NBA record. Is that allways on the franchise? He blew PO leads for the Pels (in 2008), the Clippers (3 times), the Rockets (in 2018) and Suns (2021 finals up 2-0, 2022 2nd round up 2-0)... at what point should you stop blaming the franchises and start blaming the player?

Chris Paul is also constantly communicating and teaching his teammates everything he knows on every team he played for. We've seen how he turned a rebuilding Thunder team into a playoff team and built SGA into a superstar, Mikal Bridges learned a few tricks from him guarding fast breaks while they were on the Suns.....even the Warriors bench (notably guys like Moses Moody) is notably better at reading defenses and making the right decisions now after a season with him. Even though Wembanyama is off to a slow start this season, I really hope he and Stephon Castle can absorb as much knowledge of the game from CP3 as humanly possible, regardless of how strong or weak the Spurs are.

totally agree. after all, this is the only real way to analyze a player’s skill set anyways with how much of a driving force seasonal narratives, team competency/overall records, and the media-wide infatuation with high volume stats play in falsely shaping the greater perception of their abilities. for instance, it’s totally flawed to suggest that westbrook is a better overall player than chris simply because of his lone mvp season; a worthy accomplishment, sure, but never has it once in time objectively alluded to his a capacity for defending/passing/shooting at a higher level than paul, despite what many choose to believe in view of the sheer eye candy that is a season’s worth of 30 pt triple doubles.

[@mushtikla1]

Absolutely one of the best PGs of all time! It's really unfortunate that he had many injuries at bad moments, but on the other hand, he is still freaking balling out at almost 40 (hope he stays healthy for the Spurs!)! Those Clipper years were one of the most fun teams to watch, EVER. He may even be the most well rounded PG of all time imo, especially with how good he was on defense. Nash was a better shooter from all over, and maaaybe a tad better/flashier passer, but he was way worse on defense and more fun to watch imo. Kidd was way bigger and stronger and a great defender and rebounder, and probably a slightly better passer, but he was nowhere near as good of a shooter as CP3 or Nash. He did get a 3pt shot late in his career, but nowhere near as good at scoring on any level. I don't really like comparing different eras because of the way different styles of play... And there was way less shooting 3s... But Magic was just 3 sizes bigger than all 3 I mentioned lol He is still probably one of the flashiest and most talented passers ever born. And he was a pretty good scorer overall thanks to his size, mostly posting up and closer to the rim. But he wasn't that good on defense. And probably one of the best PGs ever, Stockton... He was also THE master of P & R and simple accurate reads and passes. He was also great on defense, and he did have a decent jumpshot for the era, but again, different times. Didn't really watch Oscar Robertson and don't know much about him other than the crazy stats... And the only one I would probably add to the kind of elite "true" PGs are Isiah Thomas, he was also very versatile. The Glove was also nice. Penny was freaking insane but his career was brutally short. Curry is awesome and absolutely one of the best players of all time, but nowhere near as good as passer as any of the above, but obviously much better scorer. He is actually a solid passer, from his early Mark Jackson days in GSW, but they quickly realized he should be shooting as much as possible instead of passing lol...

Tony pretty much outplayed Chris in the 2012 series. He got outclassed in 2015, but he was 33 and Chris was in his prime. I’d argue Chris is the better all round player, but Tony had the better mentality. He knew how to balance scoring and playmaking, and Chris never quite figured it out.

@@Dranzerl Tony did well in 2012 against Chris. Rewatch the series. And to be clear, I’m not saying Tony is the better player. Obviously he’s not. But he maximised his talents and played to his strengths. He didn’t leave anything on the table. Chris, on the other hand, was a reluctant scorer who was never as aggressive in hunting his own shot the way he should have. He was also a micro manager who hated giving up the ball, and was mediocre without it. He stubbornly insisted on playing in his particular, low tempo, half court style, without ever being flexible.

i think people glorified stats too much nowadays. cp3 does choke in big moments that's for sure. but the impact he has on every team hes been to besides gsw is real. dame and harden as well. the only reason they didn't get to finals again or first time it's because they met prime gsw and harden was the closes to beating a healthy gsw meanwhile westbrick has been first round exit since kd left. only managed to get out once when harden had to carry him.

It's just he shrinks in the biggest moments

Shoutout to Kenny 😭

no one has wasted more potential in the leage than Doc Rivers

[@willjensen5595]

never misses stg

[@josia74]

When you actually add up all of his deficiencies with his strength , He was a pretty average point guard that’s received an above average number opportunities. His stats and accolades are inflated by politics . He won multiple defensive team awards and years. He had no business winning them over Premier defenders

[@davmon1202]

Life long Clipper fan here, love the breakdown, but I’d have to disagree on “one of the best ever”, simply because he had an insanely stacked team and he was the general, but Clippers were never even close to winning a championship. He took the ball, touches, playtime away from teammates and arguably changed Clippers into a predictable, easy to defend against team, where you leave DJ and Griffin for dunks and just guard CP3, JJ &/ Craw.

Should have won mvp his first year in phoenix. Turned that poverty franchise around

Man Deandre Jordan was a weapon for cp3

[@jekubb4348]

cp gets a lot of hate, but he has been elite on both ends even for a smaller guy! he's someone any serious young PG should be watching! and really think about it! every team that has won a ring in the last 10-20 years has had a great 3 man or a 4 man with a very good SF! you need versatile size and a bit of luck!

Generation Players who gets hated

[@mursetvlogs5717]

This isn’t even a sneak diss when I say this, but go ahead and do a video on why these metrics don’t translate to winning titles. Paul is good, but you should break down why he never won a title, not even once. Warriors killed him in LA because they simply out scored and outpaced them

[@DTS_I]

It’s disgusting that people try to put Westbrook, Kyrie, and even Dame over this man all time.

[@acornsucks2111]

Not really. He is hanging around for a long time.

[@KCB762]

Cp3 is my 2nd favorite player only behind Dwyane Wade. I just don’t know why he gets so much hate. It’s hard to not love his game.

[@endyperez1458]

reason why hes my goat

[@jimmyhyun8546]

Who's better at this? Prime Chris Paul or Jason Kidd?

[@jjab430]

greatest player without a ring

[@markndallas]

First thanks hoop venue

[@DrewbattleTheGreat]

Cp3 so good

[@NeoPayneHK]

what really happen to him and suns at 2021 finals?

[@JOHNNYPMUSIC]

Nash or cp3 peak 4 peak?

[@zo2k420]

i would lean chris paul just for being better defensively

[@Tripp3000]

Ring or no Ring Cp3 plays winning basketball
