Chris Paul vs. Allen Iverson one-on-one

[iamgine]

CP3 is still too green to challenge AI

Whatever. AI might beat CP one on one, but it wont be because he crossed over Michael Jordan in 1997 (or whenever).

No one said that lol...He will beat CP3 one on one because he has an absolute monsterous offensive skill set that is perfect for one one.

Iverson.

So does Chris Paul. Which is why no one guards him one on one.

Deron does.

the funny thing is that you're the only one sticking up for CP3

The fact is no one doubts CP3's talent. If this were some weird passing contest, CP3 would be favorite no doubt, but this is one on one something AI has been excelling at since he picked up a bball.

Deron does.

Not really. The Jazz as a team does a good job of keeping Paul out of the lane and when he kicks out, half the time his teammates don't hit their shots. Paul blows by Deron often but when he does, there are other Jazz teammates there waiting for him.

Matter of factly, there's another discussion going on about this right now on another forum. This is quoted from one of the posters there and I pretty much agree.

Also, Paul's poor offensive showings recently against the Jazz have far more to do with the team's defense and simply having bad nights than with Deron's man defense. Because Paul consistently has excellent games against better defenders than Deron on far better defensive teams.

Billups is an infinitely better defender than Deron. This is blindingly obvious from watching the two play. That Chris Paul fares better against Billups than against Deron, and that Deron has similar defensive stats to Billups, only shows that Paul's poor performance has a lot more to do with how the Jazz play him.

I've never seen anyone guard Chris Paul one on one and not destroyed, and i'm sure that has been the case since middle school, as it is for 99% of better than average NBA players.

It's hard for me to say this sense Chris Paul is my favorite player however I feel Iverson wouldn't have too hard of a time taking him in a game of 1 on 1.

Chris Paul; better shot selection.
