It’s so many errors in this video.

#1 Paul was in college for 2 seasons not 1.
#2 The 35 points he had against Dallas in his first playoff game wasn’t his career high.
#3 James Harden was not the reigning league MVP when Paul joined Houston.
#4 Paul led OKC to a 5th seed not 8th

It’s a crime that the trade to the Lakers was vetoed. Especially now a days where you see players going anywhere they want

[robbie]

To put it simply. Wherever he goes the Team gets way better. And when he leaves they get worse.

[LILTTE]

Ppl forget or are too young to remember how great young CP was… he’s my fave player for a reason… makes everyone better and does it easily

[HenryHoops]

Where do you guys rank CP3 all-time as a PG?

Also I had some errors in the video..
#1 Paul was in college for 2 seasons not 1.
#2 The 35 points he had against Dallas in his first playoff game wasn’t his career high - it was his PLAYOFF High.
#3 James Harden Became the MVP when Paul joined Houston.
#4 Paul led OKC to an 5th seed not 8th

Look as a Suns fan for almost 30 years this dude is incredible. Did so much for our squad that wound up being credited to Monty. He played at an elite level until he turned 37 and still came back for a pretty solid season afterwards. So glad I got to see him and Steve Nash play for Phoenix.

He was damn entertaining to watch. Every team he goes to becomes better. Despite many superstars with championship people can help but include his name with the greatest.

07-09 wasn't his prime, that was his peak. His prime lasted from 07-17/18 and had a resurgence that okc year and his first suns year

[captenpaul]

CP3 is a true pure PG, not some random pg who can only score much point

[mondrian]

I’m still bitter we couldn’t see Kobe and CP3 play together.

1 correction:

CP's Thunder wasn’t the 8th seed. They were the 5th seed (tied for 4th).

[rickyrichreacts]

Fuck not having rings, he’s easily top 5 PG all time

[LobCity]

No one else in the league could’ve carried that OKC to the playoffs. Literally controlled every game from the tip.

Chris Paul is one of the best point guards of all time, but he breaks down too often in key situations.
During his time with the Clippers, although he was considered a championship candidate every year, he and Blake Griffin were often injured during the playoffs and were forced to leave the team, resulting in the Clippers not being able to win the championship.

[nickmeister]

It’s amazing being someone who graduated from his highschool and seeing the gym and what it used to look like. He came last year and it was remodeled and named after him

[thelinedrive]

Prime Chris Paul, the New Orleans Hornet was the best player at the point I’ve ever seen at the point and it’s criminal that him and Greg Popovich never linked up at the height of their powers.

[genmargabrielmontenegro]

prime chris paul was an athletic machine before becoming a steady point guard, I still never forget how he posterized prime dwight howard

[shoewrapper]

Could you imagine? CP3, Kobe, and Prime Dwight Howard?

[justinxd]

one of my fav point guards out there, I respect and appreciate chris paul while still in the league.

[splasherrrr]

imagine being so good they dont allow u to play together lmao
