The biggest myth about Paul is his defense. He's no way an all defensive player. Just like Kobe, CP3 gets hyped by the media for his defense.
I really should have pursued law ...
I am the public defender of Spurstalk most hated: Paul, Kobe, rose, Durant Westbrook ...

They would've been nurtured a different way.
I'd rather have a PG like Parker than Paul tbh. Atleast Parker can pull the trigger in the 4th quarter. Paul on the other hand is a choke artist. He freaking let Jannero Pargo jack up shots in 2008.
Pretty soft, tbh..
Cp3 is solid but he does always look like a little crybaby. Also I don't get the choker thing outside of maybe 08. He's a pg and a distributor not a Kevin Durant who is going to ISO every play in the 4th and carry the offense with his scoring. From what I've seen he's hit a lot of big shots. He's one of those players I fear with the ball in his hand as an opposing fan.
I don't actually understand the hate on paul. Can someone name some current pg's they would rather have on that Clipper team than him?
It's puzzling, because the majority of star PGs in NBA history are chokers, tbh..
Paul isn't even particularly a choker, he just defers in clutch time, which is probably the correct move as a PG..his style of play is questionable, obviously, as he dominates the ball(as everybody knows)..
It's kind of funny when Spurs fans mention Parker, as he has made a career out of choking in the playoffs
Yes overrated on defense he gambles quite a bit he is just very good at his gambling. Plus he tries hard which you cannot say for Harden. As for the Tony argument in the Spurs system, sure take Parker and I think Tony could do even more in a system that is different but I do think Paul is the overall better player but Tony is more proven. But Paul has had shifty coaches before and no Timmy.
He's a "distributor" when it's a run of the mill regular season game or when he's scared and looking for a scapegoat (Pargo), but he turns into a heroballer late in games when he thinks there's an opportunity to take all the credit, which usually blows up in his face against playoff defenses....
He hits big shots in the regular season, but come playoff time, in those moments he's usually doing stupid , overdribbling, or trying to draw cheap free throws....
I would rather have a cheap role player at point guard and a legitimate small forward, tbh.... this team is going nowhere as long as the de facto first option is six-foot-nothing and is shut down as soon as a bigger defender is put on him....
Enrique is an overrated choker too, he's just always been able to ride Duncan, DRob, Manu, Kawhi, etc. when it matters.... give him his own team and his resume is no different from Choke Paul'sIt's puzzling, because the majority of star PGs in NBA history are chokers, tbh

you mean like when lechoke was able to ride ray allen when it mattered?Enrique is an overrated choker too, he's just always been able to ride Duncan, DRob, Manu, Kawhi, etc. when it matters.... give him his own team and his resume is no different from Choke Paul's
Who really overrates Parker besides Spurfan though?Enrique is an overrated choker too, he's just always been able to ride Duncan, DRob, Manu, Kawhi, etc. when it matters.... give him his own team and his resume is no different from Choke Paul's
Nope, more like how Washed-Up Wade rode LeBron AND Ray when it matteredyou mean like when lechoke was able to ride ray allen when it mattered?
I've never seen LeBron have to get benched for Speedy Claxton in clutch situations
so strange for me to defend Paul ... sometimes watching a guy day in and day out gives you better perspective. I saw about half the CLips games last year he is legit and he is not even as good as he was pre-injury. I agree Blake will have to carry them to a le but I think Paul will be just as crucial to their success.
Dude stepped up and took blame, cannot knock him for that ...
As I remember, that game was horse like a pack of horse on the court eating grass from ice buckets and taking s.
Every player has his flaws, and while he may do some of that, I feel like people are being too hard on him. They also said dirk was a choker.
He should. He threw that game away, Manu-style.
I brought up the same ...When I first moved to DFW Dirk and Romo were getting murdered as chokers. (I came shortly after the Seattle gaffe). Dirk has shed the label but Tony and CP3 have not ...
That game was straight up bull , they got robbed by dumbass plays and rigged officiating. I wonder if he cried after the Spurs took his lunch money in game 7 vs New Orleans in 2008?
Rigged? Why would they rig it for OKC? Yes, KD is a bigger star than Paul. but I would argue Paul and Blake together or at least as big as KD & Russ combined. All 4 have endorsements and big shoe deals. Blake/Paul has many commercials or more than the OKC duo. Plus La. is a much bigger market. And dont use Sterling as an excuse, If they had won it, couldn't they have shaken down Ballmer for more money? these NBA conspiracies are so stupid why would they rig a Spurs 5th ring over a Heat 3peat?
Who cares... passionate player, rare to find these days.
