CP3 never had Duncan, Ginobili, Bowen, Horry to make him look better.
Prime TP with NO and Clips would be a joke.

Is it him or is it his teams? Remember, he's been on teams with notable choking histories like the Hornets with ultimate choker Peja, and the Clippers (one of the worst franchises ever in sports history along with the Browns) with other chokers like Griffin
But damn watching the way he controls the tempo of the game is beautiful. Games with him in it always play at his pace. And Kawhi needs to watch some tape on how CP3 can absolutely destroy a double team
The only thing Chris Paul loves more than the perfect assist is the perfect nut punch. Gimme Kidd. He dragged a couple of shitty rosters to the NBA Finals.

#10 is cp3 breaking tony's ankles :lol
#1 in that video was cp3 scoring an and 1 on tony :lol
Andre Miller's reaction :lol
Don't know if even possible but Spurs should try to go for him, even with the injury proness and age questions. He would fit like a glove here, he might even turn Dedmon into an all-star by just throwong lobs to hin like he did with Deandre.
CP3 is a very good PG. You could have just said that. But saying that every team he's been on has been competitive? His teams won 37, 38, 39, and 46 games, in four of his six years in NO. And his first year in LAC, they won 40 games.
Bottom line, his teams have NEVER been competitive just because of him. He's been on several good teams with both Blake Griffen and DeAndre Jordan. And he was on one good team in NO, when David West and Tyson Chandler were both at their peak, and Peja was knocking down close to half of his 3P attempts. As good as CP3 is, and I don't dispute that he's good, he's never been an automatic 50-win kind of guy.
Paul's better than Curry all-time. I don't care how historically great the latter's previous 2 regular seasons were, it's not like he has an amazing individual playoff track record and he damn sure doesn't have the longevity of elite play that the former does. Paul long ago usurped Stockton as the greatest pure point guard of all time.
:lmao At the notion of him being a "choker". Most of his "clutch" (nonsense, since there is no such thing, but people buy into it) stats have always been good. In addition, he's a 5'11'' guy, who hasn't had explosive speed/quickness since his knee injuries over a half decade ago, nor has he ever played on a top 2 team in the West. Sure, the door was open in '15 to at least make the WCF and they collectively pissed it away, but still. There's no track record in the history of the game of someone of his stature being able to win a championship as the clear cut best player.
I can't say Paul is better than Stockton. Stockton owning the all time assist and steal record and much better playoff success puts him ahead. TBH, Stockton was a victim of being great in the Jordan era as it cost him 2NBA titles.
Him and Durant all time- lifetime loser team.
Only s great regular season player since he's never had any success in the playoffs. Since NBA players really only try in the playoffs, that means his success has all come when the other team isn't trying.
Pure = small guard, that's a full time point guard on both sides of the ball.
James and Johnson are the greatest point guards ever, but they're 6'8'', the former is a combo forward defensively and I believe the latter spent plenty of time defending forwards too.
:lmao Cliché, vanilla fan, believing in the "clutch" myth. It's all about sample size. Over time, if given enough chances most players will progress or regress to the mean.
