I will not even discuss or link to the moronical ESPN's NBA front page

You mean the NBA finals where he put up 15/6 on 41% and 10/4 in game 7 on 25%? If cp3 does that he gets KILLED

He was obviously injured

Okay even if you ignore that series. Chris paul has flat out played better in the playoffs.

[Sarcastic]

CP3 is not even better than Isiah Thomas, let alone Magic Johnson.

Wats wrong? I thought everyone liked the advanced stat nerd Era?

Players don't even have to win nemore, just rack up them PER, WS, stats, n u will be called the GOAT.

It's the battle of the stat nerd fgts here.

Who's better?
- the PG w/ the accolade stats (5 rings, 3 FMVP, 3 MVP)
or
- the PG w/ the analytics stats (#1 PER of PGs all-time and #4 WS all-time)

Im sure his numbers look better seeing that Chris Paul has played about 30-40 playoffs games and tony has probably played about 150.

I guess i just like a scoring point gaurd who can pass better than a passing point guard who can score. I think tony gives his teams a better chance to win a big game.

So that is why Paul has only made it out of the first round twice. It's not about stats, it's about winning.

[Young X]

From a regular season/playoffs production standpoint he has an argument. That's it though, he's not even close to Magic in terms of rings/team success.

[DMAVS41]

I would imagine that the answer ESPN came to was a resounding no.

But why does Paul get so much hate? He's awesome. I'd take him over Stockton and Payton for sure. Would take him over Jason Kidd as well.

Like, how many pg's in history are actually better than Chris Paul? He's definitely on the short list of best ever after Magic.

Keep using team accomplishments to evaluate and compare individual players. That's not irrational at all.

Alright then, individual stuff.

Finals MVP 1 > 0

[Jameerthefear]

Magic>>> Paul

[Kobe 4 The Win]

Comparing Paul to Magic Johnson is laughable. This is his 9th year and he's accomplished f**k all.

Paul is a talented player who will fill a stat sheet nicely but lets not get carried away.

That's what s point guard is supposed to do. Lead a team.

He's never been out of the 2nd round, and he's had good enough supporting casts to get to the WCF/Finals too. No way he's as good as Kidd, Stockton or Payton.
