    Bill Russell wasn't GOAT due to his era. No draft, many fewer teams. If Russell won 11 rings and FMVP in 80s and beyond, he's the GOAT, no doubt about it.

    There's no ESPN China, Idiot. And it's very funny how Clippy predicted Celtics would win the finals, claimed I would disappear soon after Lakers lost the series. But too bad it would only hold him back for a few days and pretend he didn't make those stupid comments.

    After getting slapped in the face, it's becoming personal for him.

    I like CP3 more as a person then I do Williams. But D-Will is a better PG. His defense is better and he IMO can shoot better.

    Did you and Williams have a falling out or something? Were you best buds in college but once he went pro he phased you out of his life?

    Are you Chris Paul's neighbor?

    How the heck do you know what both of them are like as people?

    That's actually mostly true.

    Really they're 2 completely different types of PGs.. both are best in various aspects of the game. Deron has a nice 3pt shot, Paul's is even nicer. Paul and Deron are both great in the paint as well, Deron can back down smaller PGs and Paul can just run around them. I'd say their passing ability is about even (but neither are a better passer than Nash). Deron plays better man to man defense I'd say, but he still gets torched by speedier point guards. Paul plays the passing lanes more. I'd say Deron wins on the defensive end.

    In terms of team success Deron wins out taking a team to the WCF while Paul only managed the 2nd round. If you take those 2 PGs off their teams and face each other, I'm pretty sure most would agree the Jazz would win: better coaching, deeper bench, better starters. The Jazz has been miles better team than the Hornets for years, basing a PGs ranking because of this is silly.

    It's a wash for #1 imo, with Nash at #3 because of his poor defense.
