CP3 is somewhere between Deron Williams and Damian Lillard. He's a decent PG but nothing special. Probably top 15 when he retires.

if tmac didnt get bounced in the first round every year there would be people who consider him the best of his era
same applies to chris paul, you cant be the best at anything without playoff success. you dont play basketball for stats, you play it for that W

Nash really only had a dominant 4 year stretch, CP was dominant for longer. Wouldn't have any problems there.
T-Mac had a 2-3 year stretch he was just as good as Kobe.

I hate going down this road again but
What CP3 lead team lost in a series in which they were the clear cut favorites?
Plus, are we blaming him for his team's lack of deep playoff success?
Basketball is a team game. I have never been on board with the blame the best player mentality.
But yall can have that discussion. I tap out if we are bringing up playoff success as a way to discredit his body of work.

Chris Paul has never been dominant. Empty stats =/= domination.

No one has ever looked at a Chris Paul basketball team and honestly said "man, this team could win a title."

Can we agree that those Suns teams were more talented than CP3 lead teams around that time?

nash has been part of over half of the greatest offenses in NBA history, the suns were considered the best team in the league for multiple years. they were a lottery team before nash came, and back then nash was running an all time great offense in dallas.
chris paul on the clippers is just another average playoff team, other than blake and deandre's dunks no one will remember or care about this team in 5 years much like the 2009 hawks

Right. They haven't. Which is why it is wild to blame HIM for his TEAM'S lack of success.

Pretty sure you say this same **** every time I post about your Chris Paul.
My judgement is clear. Thanks for your insight.

people keep saying things like "cant blame chris paul for not winning when his team isnt good enough to win a championship"
if he was a better player then his team would be good enough to win a championship

People were worried about the GOAT PGs.
No one is worried about a Chris Paul led basketball team. They're soft like marshmallow cream.

So are we going to act like Steve Nash coming to PHO was the only personnel/developmental move that caused them to go from lottery to a serious threat?

Is this just for sports or do you feel the same about giving about an opinion about anything you havent seen? Is our opinion on the Beattles not fair or whether a past President was a good one not fair either? You sound like one of those older dudes who want to discredit everything about the new era and unfairly praise the past era and don't want to hear any debate.

Nash played with a hall of fame talent at the time in Amar'e Stoudemire. CP never had that luxury in NOLA

We have to stop thinking about team pro sports in this manner man. It really is frustrating to see people feel this way. As if it is THAT simple of an equation. If he were better, the team would have been better and beat better teams.

I feel that way for anything. If you were not there to experience a talent in their time on top, your opinion on the subject is incomplete. It is really a simple concept.
I don't discredit anyone. If you have read ANYTHING in this thread, you would see that the part that I crossed out is nowhere near what I have been saying. Nice try though.

not only but by far the biggest reason, and he has two MVPs to show for it
people bring up how nash was only good for 4 years, even in 2010 he lead his team to being two wins away from the finals. 2010.. isnt that the "chris paul era" yet a far superior pg is out there leading his team way farther than cp has ever gone at the age of 35
