So turns out its not only Spur fans who think Paul is a jerk

[hater]

I was talking to a friend who is not a spur fan, he was actually rooting for phoenix and without me bringing it up, brought up the fact that Paul acts like an arrogant little . I thought it was our Spurs blinders who made us think that. The surprising thing is 2 other ppl in the table that are Celtic fans completely agreed. all 3 of them dislike him.

they also told me one thing I missed. during game 1 or 2, after Duncan shot a FT, Paul walked all the way in front of DUncan when he tried to get the ball back for his 2nd FT. Duncan got so pissed he grabbed the ball and used it to push Paul out of the way.

why this guy gotta act like a little prick?

good to know the "dislike" for Paul is legitimate in this forum...

I saw that too, and I couldn't help but wonder how he could be so disrespectful of Tim Duncan!! He should be honored to even be on the same court; none of the other young guys ever treat Tim that way.

[Shaolin-Style]

that gif makes me shake my head in disbelief everytime I see it. Everyone can call Manu a flopper but theres no way he puts on as big of an act as CP3.

He definitely acts like a punk on the court.

oh yeah? well i have a friend that's not a hornets fan and he loves chris paul and thinks the entire SA team is a bunch of crybabies. Honestly, how re ed is your argument? "i have a friend so it must be true".

And heaven forbid he doesn't get down on his knees a beg the almighty tim duncan and his amazing stat line this series (13pts/gm, 8reb/gm) to allow him on the same court! The nerve! Honestly, what does tim duncan have to do to get some respect? hmm, maybe not be mediocre against physical compe ion?

yup. and I hate when ppl say, "it's his confidence" that.

Kobe and MJ have confidence and would never disrespect the best PF in history like that.

it's on tonight!!!!

I really hope the Hornets players have the same at ude as their fans do.

Have you people ever considered that perhaps the reason why Paul is so good is precisely because he is NOT in awe of players like Tim, KG, Kobe, etc?

Very good point.

[mrsmaalox]

Whatever. But you don't think it's a little ridiculous so get so defensive when the facts are:
1) Tim Duncan has 4 rings, 3 Finals MVPs, 2 NBA MVPs, 10 AllStar teams,11 All NBA teams,10 All Defensive teams (and I'm sure I've missed some); has with stood the test of time, has already earned his place in basketball history as one of the greatest players of all time
2) Chris Paul, an amazing talent, has earned ROY/NBA All Rookie Team, 1 All Star team, 1 NBA 1st team; will probably have a superb future/career(has yet to be seen)

Now what part of "respect" do you not get? Probably the same part CP doesn't get.

[ClingingMars]

I cried when my grandfather died too. I mean, come on! Don't we all grieve a loss like that? Why is this special?

He is too eager not to show any fear, confusing respect for fear. If he were so sure about his skill he wouldnt need to act so y, just look at TD

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Hornet fans love human interest stories

No. I think he's so good because he has an amazing talent and is a great athlete. But in pro sports those are a dime a dozen. The truly great players are separated from the rest by their spirit and at ude.

The NBA cares, but nobody cares as much or as openly as CP3

Spurs fans with extremely unclassy replies. What a huge surprise.

[theMUHMEshow]

I hate Chris Paul, I hope Manu spear and jackhammers his punk ass

[BonnerDynasty]

I really can't tell who humanity's messiah is anymore.

At first I thought it was the almighty Obama. But now....

Wow, Chris Paul is just the perfect human being.
