I always thought CP3 was better by a noticeable margin. I really don't know anymore, though. Williams has been beasting all season.
First it was Dirk...then followed Larry Brown..The TNT studio guys..and now comes Brandon Jennings
So now that this is catching Fire.... is the D. williams/cp 3 argument now valid??Brandon Jennings: TOLD YALL D WILLIAMS WAS THE BEST PG IN THE NBA.
BR.... how that ass taste?

I'm a cp3 fan.. but I've always felt deron is the better of the two.
And yet Paul has played better two seasons ago than Williams has played in his entire career.
Also, Jennings needs to find that missing jumper of his.
Congrats to Deron Williams......he torched Steve Nash.
And Williams was slumping before the Suns game. Nothing like a game against Steve Nash to get the blood flowing.
Seriously, ask steve blake lol
Talk about spoil of riches...as a Laker fan I would gladly take either/or! Though, it will more than likely never happen. Can't really go wrong with either PG, but I do prefer Deron because he seems to be a little more rugged.
A Lakers fan preferring Deron? What a surprise...
Why the surprise? Deron would probably fit better into the triangle..
Why? Is it because he "doesn't dominate the ball like Paul does"?
I've heard it all before.
In a way..yes. They just have different styles of play. Deron is the better spot up shooter and attacker of the two. Paul is at his best creating in the open court rather than in a half court set like the triangle. "Better fit in the triangle" doesnt = better player. Personally I always thought that Paul was better, I just think it's even closer now than it was say last season.
It's closer? That's odd, because I could have sworn that Paul has clearly been the better player for a third straight season. People keep claiming that Williams has been bridging the gap, when he's yet to play as well as Paul did 2 seasons ago.
Chris Fall is a flopper, we know Deron ain't no . +1 for Williams...
Paul is the same player he was 2 years ago, which is like saying he has yet to become as Paul today, which I've just agreed with and said was true. But it's close, very close, and closer than a homer will be able to realize through those creole blue shades..
Both guys just have their different strengths and weaknesses. Aside from both being point guards, they're pretty much totally different players. It's kind of hard to compare.
Hey man, I would welcome Chris Paul to the fold as well. I like Deron because he has the size that Phil usually looks for in a PG. I mean, Chris Paul is definitely sick, I'm just going on the basis of what Phil (if Phil is coaching the Lakers) desires. Don't get me wrong...I'll buy a CP3 jersey or a Deron Williams jersey if that were to happen.
SO BRANDON JENNINGS TYPES IN CAPS TO SAY DUMB LIKE WILLIAMS > CP3?
Unless CP3 gets ed over by his injury; this is no contest. Chris Paul is 5th in the PER standings while Deron Williams is 28. CP3 takes one more FGA than Williams and averages 2 more points while shooting over 50%.
The only stats that Williams beats Paul at is in height and weight. As for team success, Williams has been on a better team for just about every year they've been in the league. Paul kicks Williams' ass in steals, FG%, 3%, PER, +/-, free throws, etc.

here goes the stat geeks.... hehe...
I'll take the more durable of the two!
williams for 75 games?? or paul for about 50?
Does Joseph Smith not like math or something?
No...but he likes in the ladies!!
CPWhistles best days are behind him. That injury will speed up his decline.
I'll take either one.
Paul's a better player than he was 2 years ago, bro. The only reason he's not putting up better stats than last year is the injury.
But as I said, Paul from 2 years ago is better than Williams is now. Williams is not closing any gaps at all.
lol copout

Notice that the so-called better defender is nowhere to be found.
Jazz fans would rather pull up popularity polls, because they know Paul blows Williams out the water statistically.
CP3 2 years ago was playing at one of the highest levels i've ever seen in a point guard. No disputing that.
However i'm not sure he's gotten better.
