Clippers: ESPN: Where does CP3 rank among all-time NBA PGs?

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol did you watch the game today against okc, clown causes a flag1 foul and flops....seriously cant wait till someone has had enough of this clown and gives him a dose of his own medicine

best players dont need to rely on flops to beat another player, thats difference between goats and sheeps...cp3 = sheep

And that's why Tim Duncan is the GOAT PF.

But you wouldn't put KG ahead of Barkley even though KG has a ring.

But KG has a ring. If Barkley had rings, would he be better than Duncan? Isn't the fact that Duncan is the full package the reason he has the rings in the first place?

So then it's probably not that he has rings, but that he has ability, and that got him rings.

CP3 ain't better than Stockton, cmon man... Even debatable against Payton, who led a team to a Finals and took MJ to 6 games and his worst Finals performance.

CP3 is a great regular season PG, but I can't put him in the same category and Oscar and Magic, who dominated their era far more than CP3 has dominated his.

Top 5 all-time PG no doubt, but not close to the top 2 until he leads a team to a Finals appearance.

[TDMVPDPOY]

if its magic, oscar, stockton, payton, kidd

how is cp3 top5?

[AchillesHeel]

Skill-wise, CP3 is a top 5 all-time PG. Never even mentioned Kidd, just said you could put Payton over CP3 because he led a team to a Finals.

Kidd is overrated. Career 50%TS? He's one of the best passers and defenders, but he wasn't a scorer like other all-time great PGs. Never even shot 45% from the field for a season..

[TDMVPDPOY]

even if you remove kidd or dont have kidd in ur top5, that means isiah thomas gets bump into the top5

so how is cp3 going to crack into that list?

[Rogue]

I think CP3 is slightly above the likes of Isiah and Payton but well below the class of Jason Kidd and Magic imho. Kidd's weakness is obvious, he's a mediocre shooter in the long range (though his 3pt % improved dramatically in his latest years) but the prime Kidd was such a beast at the defensive end that no one else could match, like you could assign him to defend players of any position from PG to C. And Kidd's on-court vision also has to be the best of all PGs who have ever played this game, even with Magic included.

[RsxPiimp]

Prime Isiah would embarrass CP3, just sayin . If Isiah isn't such a horrible GM/Human being, he'd be higher In everyone's list. Jordan's charm on the media completely destroyed Isiah honestly. I'm not saying Isiah is a saint but Jordan's really no better, he just happen to be a much more charismatic player that took advantage of the situation by making the Pistons and Isiah especially look like villains.


We all have different opinions, but I can never pick a flopper over someone who played basketball the right way.

1. Magic
2. Big O
3. Zeke
4. Stockton
5. Parker
6. Kidd
7. Nash
8. Gary Payton
9. Mark Jackson
10. Chris Paul

He's top 10 IMHO.

I love how NBA fans seem to ignore Gary Payton's severe playoff failures, just because of his 1 run to the Finals..

One of the more overrated players I've seen, probably the most overrated HOF PG next to Kidd, tbh..

Everyone has their fair share of fails. Your boy Lebron is the best example , tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Except Payton's highs aren't special or comparable to the most elite players, certainly not special enough to negate his massive failures..

People like Payton because he's from the 90s and ran his mouth..

What about CP's playoff failures? They won 56 games just last year. Results? 1st round exit per par tbqh.

At least the Glove locked players down - without flopping. GP is more accomplished than CP. Not to mention he has over 3,000 more assists.

[UZER]

ESPN over hyping someone from one of their favorite markets per par.

CP3 is great, but not Isaiah / Magic take your team to another level great.

i hate agreeing with your kind, but that's a solid list.

Not bad but Paul is greater than action Jackson ...
