I think Cp3 is a blamer and nagger, that will rub others the wrong way no matter what size of egos they have. Its just players who arent good dont have the right to criticize him so thats why guys like Harden and BG are the ones who get the spotlight. You can see it in the way he constantly complains and whines to the refs every call he is prob the same to his teammates during timeouts and huddles.
if guys don't want to win as bad as he does who has no reservation of holding guys accountable no matter who they are, yeah there will be some kind of frustration in there somewhere but that's nothing against cp3 at the end of the day. he's a competitor and had made it known to everyone how bad he wanted to take down GS in the midst of everyone else basically just waiting for them to fade
What? Lazy, fringe players like Ryan Hollins and Big Baby Davis have been the loudest haters/critics of CP's personality. Harden and Griffin never came out and blasted Chris, though their displeasure with him was evident. You say he blames and nags, I say he holds people accountable. It's a difference of perspective, I guess. Spoiler: He holds himself accountable when it matters most, to. After the 2015 loss to the Rockets. Chris Paul put the loss on himself. Doesnt blame anybody. [http://www.latimes.com/sports/clipp...r-game-7-loss-to-rockets-20150517-story.html) After the meltdown against the Thunder in 2014. Chris Paul put the loss on himself. [http://www.latimes.com/sports/sport...d-after-playoffs-thunder-20141030-story.html) After the loss against Utah in 2017, Chris Paul put the loss on himself. [https://www.ocregister.com/2017/04/...on-game-7-loss-to-jazz-ive-got-to-be-better/) 2016 he is injured and 2018 he is injured. But I don't think this is a fair extrapolation. Harden whines and b****es to refs, too. Does that mean he's the same way with teammates? Why should treatment of the refs be indicative of how one treats his allies on the court? Lol
Harden doesnt b**** the way Cp3 does every call. Harden complains to the refs when he says he got fouled but it didnt get called Cp3 seems to whine and moan about every single play ala Kobe. I remember when Cp3 fouled KD with his ass just to prove a point to the refs that kind of behavior isnt something Harden has done. Cp3 is pretty smart he knows the right thing to say to the media aka blaming himself after the game but thats not what he says on the court otherwise he and Harden wouldnt have any beef. Or do you think Harden slapped away Cp3's fist bump just cuz Cp3 was blaming himself? If Cp3 was leading by example all this time people wouldnt have beef with him look at Lebron. He is even more controlling than Cp3 but players dont care cuz he is harder on himself than on others. Cp3 is the type to tell others what they did wrong and try to boss them around instead of actually doing something to fix the issue. You are right Harden never said anything about Cp3 he just shipped out Cp3 for someone else and they havent talked since then. You know what they say about actions speaking louder than words...
yup harden b****es at the refs every single time they call a foul him. he thinks he never fouls. and then lollygags time and time again when he doesn't get calls and pouts
To be fair to CP3, that interview is from like 9 years ago, hopefully he's checking his privilege on the reg these days.
Pretty sure Paul would rather score efficient 25-30 with some great defense and playmaking, rather than 40 pts on 30+ shots and ~10 turnovers.
ill take 12 shots for 30 pts. that's a beauty. especially over a line of 30 shot attempts and not even able to hit 20 pts not even sure why that was even posted in this thread
I'm sure Cp3 would prefer that but he isnt scoring 25-30 a night he is averaging 15 lol. Even if he is efficient that small amount production isnt enough for his salary, Harden or whoever his teammate is needs to put up monster stats to compensate. I'd rather have WB's inefficient 40 over Cp3's efficient 15 cuz that means less load for Harden. We've seen how Harden's efficiency and production has increased even more this year, thats cuz WB is out there sharing the load with him instead of Harden always thinking he has to get 40 every night cuz nobody else will score over 15. Mentally that is pretty big.
