Carter and Jefferson isn't a front court.

Last time Peja was an all star, so were Brad Miller, Sam Cassell, and Jamaal Magloire.
true. one or both of them are often off court.
That should be a vbookie. The Hornets play the Heat next Friday on ESPN. Lets see how many times they make Magic comparisons.
I've heard Isiah Thomas, even some Jason Kidd. I haven't heard Magic.
Being a Spurs fan you should know that steals doesn't equate to being a good defender. Chris Paul gets steals. That's not the same thing as Chris Paul is a good defender. He still has problems against bigger point guards simply because of size differential. He's not a better 2-way PG than Baron Davis or even Jason Kidd (yes still).
Chris Paul doesn't play defense. He gambles on steals. He's a terrible man on defender.
That said, Dwight Howard is probably still my MVP.
i guess i don't understand why people on chris paul. he seems to have some people who naturally hate on him when he is a great talent and seems like an all around good, likable guy (unlike lebron and others) what the gives? does anyone in this thread who discounts him deny that he is talented?
Chris Paul is one of my favorite players to watch and I think he has great talent. If that comment includes me, my point is that you can't call a player a great 2-way player just because they get steals. Getting steals is not the only attribute in being a good perimeter defender.
CP3 doing it again tonight against PHX. NOH is one of the top teams in the West, CP3 is THE top PG in the West. They just don't get any credit or respect.
The top 3 teams in the WC come playoff time will be LAL, NOH, and the Spurs. Book it.
well, any chris paul-magic johnson comparison made during the game?
IDK I was watching Celtics/Pistons.
people always hate on great talents. Chris Paul has amazed me so far, he's well on his way to being an elite player.
CP3 is an elite player in the NBA right now. No PG orchestrates an offense the way he does, not even Nash.
People hate on them because after ~100 games in a uniform they are being compared to the all-time greats by the media sensationalist hype machine. People hate them because after two seasons there are threads like, "Paul > Magic?" and "Will CP3 be one of the top 3 point guards ever?" popping up all over the boards here by 15 year-olds who are too young to remember anything earlier than the 2000 season. These discussions clog the board space and take away from legitimate threads, so the supposed "hate" for the player is a reaction to the undue praise he will receive.
Make no mistake, Paul is great. He's having a great season and I like him as a player. I've started threads about him. But he could average 35 points 8 boards and 10 assists per game this year and he still does not merit an all-time best comparison. No one does this early in his career.
smush Parker is better!
