    On a night like this OP is when you get to appreciate a guy like Paul. Chris Paul is leaps and bound beyond Kyle Lowry.

    He had his best game of the night. I still don't consider him a superstar. Name me 1 superstar in the modern era that averaged under 15 ppg ?

    Half of you guys were saying u'd rather have Lowry over Chris paul when that poll was up a few days ago. Now that Paul has 1 good game it is time to put him back into superstar mode and great. I laugh at clutchfans. Again if you want to debate about whether Paul is a superstar i am open to it.

    I don't think any rational GM would take him over Rose.

    The season just started. He will get his avg up. He is learning how to play with his new teammates. And he is setting up them nicely. Griffin, butler, deandre avg up fr

    That is over 15.

    Besides my point is that in the modern era you cannot many players that avg around 15 ppg and are considered superstars. So my initial post taking him out of the superstar ranks is not outrageous.

    To me there are only 4 or 5 superstars in the NBA.....wade, rose, lebron, howard, Durant. He isn't on that level.

    He averaged over 15. But if you want to include him that is fine with me he is the only player.

    Yes.....and 3 years ago in my opinion he was a superstar. Especially that one year in which he was a force i believe it was 2008. After his injuries in my opinion he has taken a step back and is no longer a superstar.

    Your opinion is wrong. There's no other way to put it.

    There is not a better pure PG in basketball.

    No I am not joking.....are you joking ? Dwayne Wade is one of the 5 best players in the NBA. Ask anybody who knows anything about basketball.
