Chris Paul: "He can't guard me!"

[Pero]

Like Manu Ginobili, Paul did not come to the NBA to make friends

Yeah, but unlike Paul, Manu would never say something like that.

Players calling attention to themselves at the expense of others isn't a "gangsta" problem.
Its a youth of today problem......no respect for their elders........or the man standing next to him either.
It's just that the majority of NBA players are black(news flash) and therefore we get to see young black players acting like arrogant clowns more often than white guys.
Not everyone can be Steve Nash or Tim Duncan.

I agree with this fully. it is ing disgusting how youth today have so much disrespect for everyone.

It is my biggest pet peave by a ing mile...Makes me pissed off just thinking about it.

I honestly blame the "instant" culture of today for this stuff. Instant messaging, messageboards, texting, internet in general. dont get me wrong, great tool, but it has caused a whole generation of people to not know how to communicate in a civil manner in a face to face situation. Kids grow up being bullies and heads in chat rooms and through texting...and cant figure out that doesnt work in the real world.

Gangster was a word used in the first post of this thread. And now you too huh? I don't see what's so "gangsta" about it? Quite frankly it's people wrongly accusing black players of being gangsters that's ruining this league. Not the players themselves. I'm no Chris Paul fan and I don't like the way he yaps, but I'm pretty damn sure the concepts of bravado, arrogance and screen-rolls were around well before Tupac. Gangsters are drug dealers who murder people. Not NBA players who are full of themselves and like to talk about it.

No you see, youre the racist one here. Why are you assuming that we are referring gangsters to black people only?? Just because I called Chris Paul a gangster doesnt necessarily mean Im only referring it to the black people. I've called many white players gangsters wannabe (Brad Miller). Youre the racist one here buddy not me.

Why is CP3 getting all this grief? It's not like he's lying or anything? The Mavs in general, and Kidd in particular, are getting roasted by this guy.

Kobe does the exact same thing in big games - he did it this past Sunday when being guarded by Kenyon Martin. He's been in the league for 11 years. No one says anything.

This guy is a young, dedicated and very talented player, who is getting his first taste of playoff success. He's just come off what is considered an MVP season. Face it. CP3 IS a superstar in this league and is proving his mark now. Give him a break.

Think the Hawks still believe they made the right decision choosing Marvin Williams ahead of Paul?

You are right, CP3 is a superstar....he needs to act like one, and that goes for anyone. When you are as good as he is, and IMO he is the best at his position, you should let your game do the talking. You don't need to call attention to yourself, your game does that for you.

Paul is a fake midget.

All lies, I watched the whole game, he didn't do any taunts or anything similiar to what Paul did to Kidd.

[daslicer]

CP3 is a grade A asshole simple as that. I watched him back when he played college ball at Wake Forest. I live in NC and I have to say he was a pretty classless kid back then and not much has changed since. This is the same guy who punched Julius Hodge in the nuts on senior night during Hodges last game at NC State. What was even worse after that Paul first denied that he never punched Hodge in the nuts and then later came out when it was shown on tape that he did that he did do it but then made up another lie to cover it up. He lied and stated the State fans chanted that they killed his grandpa and he couldn't handle it and thats why he punched Hodge in the nuts. That was also confirmed a lie that it never happened. He also was punk at the end of the game after hitting a game winning shot he screamed at the State fans and taunted them along with laughing right at them.

Thats just one of the many stunts he pulled off when he was in college.

This kid has loads of talent but he always been immature punk. I would love to see him get a flagrant foul like the one Haywood did to Lebron. Just hate that kid. I'm actually hoping Avery gets them to committ a hard foul on him just like he has gotten the mavs to commit hard fouls on Manu and Tony.

[Indazone]

Actually after the Hornets and the Jazz win, the Spurs have to take on the Hornets. I'm sure that the Lakers are gonna demolish the Nuggets so that means a second round series between the Lakers and the Jazz. So here's to Tony Parker and Manu taking CP3 to school.

oh and that's if they get past the Suns.

[SpursDynasty]

DALLAS WILL WIN THIS SERIES. And this is coming from the biggest Mav hater around. Chris Paul is an idiot.

FNO. FCP. FTH.

Go Mavs Go. For now at least.

Except the Spurs have won 4 championships. Spursdynasty isn't that bad. lol

[jack sommerset]

Chris Paul reminds me of Chad Johnson of the NFL Bengals. Everyone thinks it "cute" refering to his arrogance, his compe ive nature but after a few years its gets very annoying and people grow to hate them. They end up putting themselves before the team. I see Paul not winning in his carreer. Maybury was a bad ass too. You saw what happened to him. Noone wants to play with him.

Not cute. Understandable.

Yeah, man, taking that Hornets team that wasn't expected to even make the playoffs to a #1 seed for nearly the entire season in the most loaded conference in NBA history is a surefire indication that he's bad for the teams he plays for.

Next up on Spurstalk: Criticizing players with over 10 dimes per game - Are they too selfish?

[1Parker1]

Didn't Paul scream something similiar at Pop during a game against the Spurs this season??

[1Parker1]

EDIT; Not neccesarily at Pop, but at the Spurs bench.

Dude, I'm not going to get into a debate over this garbage. You are unintelligent. Quit calling NBA players you don't like "gangsters" & if you can't do that, just shut the up in general.

[thispego]

Who the gives a about Paul it's DAVID WEST who should have all the Mav's fans pissed off. He COMEPLTELY direspected the mavs and the Reigning MVP. West should have been suspended for tonight games for making contact with an opponent after the whistle

[Mavs<Spurs]

Paul is now better than Kidd by a lot.

Kidd is a better rebounder and a little better at the defensive end.
However, Kidd can't shoot at all.


Kidd should be a HOFer. Will Paul maintain this level of play for as long as Kidd has?


Trash talking is part of the game, whether we like it or not.


Game 1 was important for New Orleans' confidence.

Now, it will be difficult for the Mavs to win the series.

Hornets had a great road record, but they are young.

Game 2 is pretty much a must win for both teams.

.............umm theres a reason why the nuggets are one of the worst defensive teams in the nba

Shooting Guards are supposed to shoot
Point guards are supposed to hand out assists

Jason Kidd is a Point Guard

Yes. Because when you're at the highest level of basketball in the world, you should only be able to do one thing well. In fact, it's BAD if a point guard can actually score... you wouldn't want him attempting to help his team other than by getting dimes, would you?

Oh, and for the record:
2007-2008 season
Chris Paul - 11.6 assists per game.
Jason Kidd - 10.4 assists per game.

Are you simple or something? Autistic? I'd seriously like to know so I won't argue with or make fun of you in the future.
