No wonder those 3 are also considered the strongest PG's.
I saw mention of Chris Paul's obesity in another thread and realized the broader topic of fat point guards probably warrants its own thread, especially given the overall crap quality of threads this offseason. Although it is often said that a point guard is "strong" which refers to muscle, is there such thing as too big for the position?
I will start off by saying that Andre Miller is a fatass, but it doesn't seem to hurt his game as it allows him to back down the featherweights in the post. He also doesn't seem overly slow because of it. I am going to say that Andre Miller gets my pick as the point guard whose rotund dimensions help him the most.
Which other point guards are fat and do you think it helps or hurts them?

Deron Williams - His fatness has gotten out of hand the last 2 years, but at the right amount it was an asset.
Baron Davis - Also an asset in limited doses. It's also made him injury prone and overall had a negative effect on his career.
Kyle Lowry - Turned a good defender into a bad defender.
Chauncey Billups - Probably the best at utilizing his fatness. Could make a living posting smaller PGs up.
Raymond Felton - He would suck fat or skinny.dumb s who slobbed his knob for the fluke half-season he had with New York.
Baron "Fatass" Davis comes to mind, tbh... and he sucked...
Magic Johnson was still good as a fatass old bag with aids
But it's Magic
Mark Jackson used his fatass well.
BD is definitely in my list of top fatties at the position. Even in his prime when he wasn't that fat I think he was already above 220. I wonder what he is now. I didn't know Lowry was fat though - just thought he looked stocky.Deron Williams - His fatness has gotten out of hand the last 2 years, but at the right amount it was an asset.

They call Fisher "strong" but I think they're just referring to how he uses his ass to provide a low center of gravity and to intimidate younger players.
I remember when Magic came back and weighed like 260 and played center. That was weird. And yes, he looked huge.
A fatass helps in the post. Miller shows flashes of Jackson with his use of the posterior advantage.
Do you think Chris Paul is fatter as a Clipper? Apparently some were saying it was ridiculous, like he put on 30 pounds or so since NO.
There are some people who can carry the weight proportionately and so it doesn't hinder them. Some of these people just happen to have fluid movements and accuracy that's in the top tier of the league. Some of them happen to be on decent teams so you actually watch them play.
I think Blair would be a great point guard. He's fat. Did you know he doesn't have ACLs? Isn't that strange that he can walk?
Nah, I think he just got fatter after his knee injury.... no big deal, though, still the best PG in the game....
Rondo is the best PG in the game. He can shoot but he most often won't, but damn can he dish.
If I was building a team and needed a point guard and actually wanted to challenge for a le, I would take Rondo over Paul any day.
Rondo is not the best PG in the game... CP3 can put up them assists AND be a reliable scoring option, tbh... also gets a lot of steals....
Boston would have had more than one le if Paul was their PG. He's a great passer as well, and made ty Clippers and Hornets teams into high seeded playoff seeded teams. He would have made the Celtics a dynasty. Rondo is the better defender, but offensively Paul is way better since he can pass and score when needed.
As I've been saying for years, fat PGs are unreliable and overrated..it's rare for a fat PG to have a long peak, tbh..
Is this the same Paul who was swept by the Spurs?
Knob slobbing overrated PGs
Coming from the same person who said Rondo can shoot

Chris Paul shot 42% and averaged 8 assists, 5.1rbs and 17.3ppg in the playoffs this year.Coming from the same person who said Rondo can shoot
Rondo shot 47% and averaged 12 assists, 6.7rbs and 17.3ppg in the playoffs this year.
You must look at batting average and RBIs as well.Chris Paul shot 42% and averaged 10 assists and 17.3ppg in the playoffs this year.
Rondo shot 47% and averaged 12 assists and 17.3ppg in the playoffs this year.
Rondo shoots 24% from 3s and 60% from the FT line in his career. Great ing shooter.
Still in love with your ex
I didn't say he's a great shooter. I said he can shoot. Many decent shooters suck at the FT line.
Your ex shoot first PG will never win a ring except maybe when he becomes a backup to Rondo.
If CP3 was scared to shoot like Rondo, he could put up Rondo-esque assist numbers, tbh...
