Re: Is Westbrook now the consensus 3rd best player in the league?
There's a difference between consensus and unanimous, an opinion can definitely be in consensus on here. That being said, Westbrook at #3 isn't one of those opinions. CP3 has a very good case, as do a few other guys. I have Westbrook at #3 especially after the playoffs, but it's far from general agreement.

[QUOTE=Rubio2Gasol]I don't understand how one can say this nonsense, when they go head to head, and not only does Westbrook rape him, but Paul produces one of the biggest chokes yet seen in the history of the league, as he has done almost every single year.
The overrating of Chris Paul is just plain pathetic to be honest, but because it's simply disrepectful to the plethora of guards that have actually accomplished something in this league other than getting humiliated in the first or second round of the playoffs.[/QUOTE]
Between 08-10, Williams was better than Paul?

Westbrook dominates head-to-head matches with Chris Paul.
Head-to-head is how Lebron got title as best player. He dominated Kobe, Durant and Rose.
Re: Is Westbrook now the consensus 3rd best player in the league?
Usually the top 2 players are consensus. 3-10 is always debatable

Westbrook vs Chris Paul Head to Head
Regular Season ppg/asst/rebs/stl/turnovers fg/3pfg/ft%
Chris Paul 11 wins 8 losses 19.3/10.3/4.3/3.0/2.4 .487/.338/.898
Westbrook 8 wins 11 losses 18.8/6.9/4.4/1.7/3.9 .408/.286/.819
Post Season
Chris Paul 2 wins 4 losses 22.5/12.0/3.7/2.5/2.3 .510/.455/.750
Westbrook 4 wins 2 losses 27.8/8.8/6.0/1.8/4.2 .491/.346/.877
I definitely think that Westbrook surpassed CP3 this postseason, but let's not have revisionist history here.

Paul averaged 23/12 in that series and outplayed Westbrook in games 1, 4, and 6. That's not getting "raped".
What has he accomplished individually that Paul hasn't? He hasn't even made an All NBA 1st team or a defensive team yet.
Re: Is Westbrook now the consensus 3rd best player in the league?
Paul cannot stay in front of Westbrook and needs screens to free himself on offense.

How many people can stay infront of Westbrook? Good thing he is one of the best pick and roll players of all time...
Like I said, I think Westbrook surpassed Paul this year, but lets not rewrite History. :no:
