The underrated legacy and greatness of Chris Paul.

{Thread}
Please rt. Need everyone to acknowledge the greatness of CP3.
Chris Paul is easily one of the greatest players to ever pick up a basketball. However there are some people who just write him off for not having a ring.

Chris Paul is a WINNING PLAYER. Everywhere he goes, his team gets better.
He doesn’t fill the stat sheet like a Westbrook or Harden, but his impact is almost unmatched.

Deandre Jordan is one of the worst starting centers in the league. With Chris Paul, he was All NBA first team.

Chris’s impact is easily superior to Stockton, Isiah, Kidd, etc.
Let’s look at Chris’s individual accolades:

9x All NBA
10x All Star
9x All Defense
4x assist leader
6x steals leader
7th all time in assists
7th in steals

He blows out legends like Isiah Thomas, Kidd, etc. in these accolades and numbers.
This may be somewhat controversial but I feel comfortable saying it, Chris Paul is the best all around Point Guard of all time. He seriously has no holes in his game.

At his peak:
Elite playmaking
Great scoring
Phenomenal D
Chris’s peak is arguably the 3rd best for any point guard of all time. His 08 playoffs and 09 regular season are some of the most impressive in league history.

Chris Paul also had a VERY strong case for MVP in 2008.

His 2009 Stats: 22.8PPG-11.0APG-2.8APG-.60TS%
What’s overlooked about CP3s stats is how he does it. His efficiency is almost unmatched by anyone with his volume.
Let’s look at the biggest misconception in his career. Is Chris Paul clutch? The answer is ABSOLUTELY. Chris Paul is one of the most clutch players of all time. I seriously don’t know how he got the narrative as a choker.

He is one of the most clutch players of all time.
Another thing people marvel at is his advanced/impact stats. For the past 12 years he’s been at the top of the league for multiple advanced stats.

Chris Paul may have the best advanced stats for any PG in NBA history.
“He doesn’t have a ring”

This is a TEAM ACCOMPLISHMENT. CP3s teams were cursed with injuries throughout his career. It is not his fault whatsoever. He has always showed up and proved why he’s a top 25 player of all time.

Chris Paul is, and always will be a winning player.
Where does he stack up among other legends?

I think Chris Paul is a top 5 point guard of all time.

He is better then, Nash, Isiah, Stockton, Westbrook, and Kidd. To be honest if he hadn’t been injured in 2018 he would be over Oscar for me as well.
Chris Paul got the name Point God for a reason. It’s time we stop underrating this man and give him his respect.
End of thread.

To sum up my thoughts, we need to stop disrespecting this man.
