Who's down with CP3? Yeah, you know me.
I love Chris Paul. He is the most exciting player not named James or Wade to come along in years. He is Jason Kidd with a jump shot. Barring injury he will go down as no worse than a top 10 point guard of all time. You can make an argument (and someone did on ESPN.com) that he had the greatest rookie regular season by a PG of all time. Even better than Magic.
He is quick, fast, unselfish, smart and plays with heart. He can hit from medium range, 3-point range, or take the ball to the basket and he makes his free-throws. I could go on and on and may devote many posts to him in the future, but for now I just want to say that the guy who voted for Deron Williams for rookie of the year, leaving Paul one vote short of a unanimous pick, should not only have his voting privileges removed, he should be banned from ever discussing sports publicly again.
While we're here, I should note that the Chuckster made the same argument about the guys who left Kobe off their ballot for MVP. By the way, don't you think Charles loves it when Magic comes on the TNT show so he has someone to make fat jokes about? What's going on with Magic? Is he on a strict movie popcorn diet from his chain of theaters? As one of the games greatest all time passers, his next pass should be on that second breakfast he's been fitting in every day before brunch.
Anyway, I know Chuck is only on there for comic relief, and I usually appreciate him when he's not 100% cranky like he has been the last 6 months, but he's wrong about Kobe. You only get 5 spots on your MVP ballot. Not that you asked, but here's how mine would look in order and you might notice that Kobe doesn't make the top 5.
1. LBJ
2. Wade
3. Dirk
4. Nash
5. Billups
