    My apologies for not having a superior moniker like shipwreck. In addition if you find the thread to be inferior then move right along nobody cares to hear your quibble.

    CP will never return to that form because of injury, Which was too bad because at that time he was unbelievable and pretty much unstoppable on offense.

    I remember him to be a lot quicker and attacked the basket way more easily, now he seems to be more content with shooting jumpers because he can't get past his man.

    Quibble? I shall cease such quibbling after this post, yet I feel compelled to point out that you started a thread with a clear thesis, and essentially used the allure of the title you chose to list your favorite NBA players and provide no real reasoning as to why, except that CP3 "looked" worse. And your are quite the persistent quibbler yourself, for someone complaining about another poster's "quibbling".....

    You sound like you haven't ever played basketball when you speak in such rudimentary, baseless, normative terms. Just add a little research to your rapid fire posting.

    All I meant by the moniker condescension, is that despite your completely reason-barren thread and strong negative impression, I still will never remember you, because of the generic nature of your handle. It's ok that your's is not as cool as mine. I know you tried shipwreck and saw that it was already taken. I hold you to a much lower standard than myself, so don't be so hard on yourself.

    I think all you have proven is that your vocabulary is superior to mine. For this i give you credit.

    If you want to talk basketball check my list and make ur arguments. Otherwise i commend you for your vocabulary and wish you well on ur endeavors in life.

    Couldn't agree more Apollo. That guy was an absolute beast back in 08.

    You tell me not to say say that Rose v. Paul is undebatable yet in all your posts the implication is that your conclusions are unassailable.

    You say you're giving us criteria when all you're giving us is a list.

    Basically, you have no argument other than the fact that you don't think Paul is a superstar based on some arbitrary requisites that you can't even provide.

    I agree, there is no better point guard in the business than CP3.

    its ignorant how people judge a player's game through stats. chris paul is good at getting his teamates involve in the game. he would rather pass than shoot. thats one thing that amazes me about him as a basketball player.

    Tmacolajuwon wisely abandoned this thread.

    CP3 is amazing. Some possessions, he'll decide that he's going to get past Russell Westbrook and just embarrasses Westbrook in doing so. He does that AT WILL.
