What’s crazy is I was saying he lost a step here in 2014 now coming back to this in 2021 he really never lost a step he was just injured which he always was
Is "Whose the best pg" even a relevant question??? I mean the questions quite obvious if you ask me. Nothing to debate if you have actually seen CP play. There are no flaws to his game. Simply the best and its not all that close if you ask me
I will give Cp3 this...he has the best handles off ALL TIME...**wait for Iverson fan boys to chime in**...but then the true basketball heads see how CP3 handles are better. Ball handling is like Technology its an evolving art form. The next great ball handler will be better than Cp3 and so forth. AI was great but like any Great student of the game, CP3 prolly studied then mastered iverson package, just like the next generation is studying cp3
I love these vids man. You are doing a great job. You should definitely consider doing a Blake Griffin Highlight reel. He's is killing it right now and not just with the dunks.
Chris has the highest basketball IQ in the NBA. I'd rather have a point guard who has a very high IQ than an explosive point guard but can't make plays for his team mates e.g. Paul>>Westbrook. Don't get me wrong I love Westbrook, but if you get to choose of one of them, would you really take Wes over Paul? Just saying.
He takes lay ups and free throw shots and has two of the best jumpers in the world as teammates, on top of all that dude flops and throw his arm in the air while yelling every single game. Handles yeah not sure why he made it like he did.
I put the ultimatum, This is the challenge before i crown him as the best point guard he has to outperform all these point guard in this upcoming playoff. To me its a free-for-all for the best spot. Russ-cp3-tp9-curry-damian lillard...whoever goes farthest in the playoff is the best point guard simple. Ima big cp3 fan but it is disrespectful to magic, stock, isiah, kidd, gp20 to get the "Best PG" title but u cant lead ur team pass the first round
My criteria for the Best Point Guard title is simply winning by any means necessary. The 2014 point guard is built so uniquely no two pgs are alike. I try to be fair. All Point guards need help so i say every great needs atleast an allstar running mate. I refuse to put cp3 above Tony Parker when u one player lead his team to Game7 in the finals, while on guy got bounced in the first rd
your logic is very flawed. by your " criteria" is Mario Chalmers better then cp3 because he went past the first round this year? no. you are forgetting that basketball is a TEAM game. its not a 1 on 1 tournament. are you really going to criticize cp3 because his teammates didn't step up? go check out his teammates FG % in the playoffs last year. they all shot around 30-40%. meanwhile cp3 put up a 29.2 PER which was tops in the playoffs, averaged 22.8 PPG on 53% shooting and had 6.3 Assists( again, teammates all shot in the 30% range) to only 1.5 Turnovers. there is nothing more cp3 can do.If you are blindly going to just look at team success as the sole measuring stick for comparing PG's while at the same time overlooking how the individual performs, then no, you are not " trying to be fair". Cp3, by every statistical measure, is the best PG in the NBA, and to argue otherwise is futile.
Your right, My theory is a work in process but NOBODY considers "Rio" a top10 pg. Let me modify it. You have to atleast be either the primary or secondary reason for the team success. Second, I quit if u actually memorized cp3 stats down to the decimal point or percentile, which i highly doubt so u dont need to throw stats if its not second nature to u. its just sports. I love cp3 as much as u. I dont knock Cp3 but i'll ask u this question, What doesnt Tony Parker do that which makes Cp3 better than him
Jeff Malcolm Its simple. Chris Paul is better then Tony Parker in almost every way. Cp3 is the better ball handler, shooter, passer (much better at facilitating/passing) hes a better leader (although hes probably the best leader in the entire NBA, as most GM'S agree in their annual voting survey). Chris Paul is also a much better Defensive player and takes better care of the ball. Tony's only advantages are his Mid range shooting( only slightly tho as Cp3 is also elite in this area), inside scoring and his speed. this is without going into the actual statistics/numbers... where Cp3 makes the debate pointless.Tony Parker does have more postseason success, that really shouldn't be up for debate,but its not just about the individual . Its a team game. when we compare the overall quality of talent surrounding Tony Parker throughout his career relative to cp3's teams (both with the hornets and clippers) it becomes obvious that Tony Parker had the better talent around him. And that's a VERY important thing to understand and take note of. At the same time, the season before Cp3 got to the clippers, the clips were 32-50 with a winning % of .390 ( and also worth noting is that Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan were on that team, Blake Griffin was also averaging 22 and 12). The next season they go 40-26 in the lockout shorten season for a winning % of .606 which is the highest in the clippers history. The next season(2012-13) they go a franchise best 56-26 for yet again a franchise high winning % of .683... why the sudden change from bottom feeders to one of the best teams in the NBA? one man. cp3 is the difference.He took a 32-50 win team and in 2 years turned them into a 56-26 team. they were on pace for a 50+ win season in the lockout year if the season was a full 82 games long. meanwhile the hornets became the worst team in the West once got traded from them. Chris Paul is a winner. He is one of only about 3 or 4 players in the game who can have that kind of impact on a teams success. He is the best PG in the NBA, and it should not be a debate.
***** When it comes to "speed" let's just remember his knee injury a few years back. although he's still the best pg in the game his stats since definitely aren't up to par with his pre injury performance.
You can teach ball handling. It's just harder for some people to progress than others. I used to think some kids were just too uncoordinated to ever be good ball handlers until my friends little brother went from barely being able to catch a ball at age 12, to being a legit ball handler by age 18. Now of course Paul does all of this at a speed that a lot of people can't achieve. You can't really coach speed.
kefkapalazzo1 I would say it's more like we all have different peaks. You can still maximize your speed by practicing. And you never really know your peak. Saying "you can't coach speed" really means you can't make someone faster than their peak speed. But even teaching speed is possible with things like form training and weight loss. The way you're making it sound is that CP3 was just born with a fast handle. When in reality he probably worked just as hard as anyone, he just has a higher peak. My point is, you don't know your peak. So don't ever give up. Keep practicing on your handle. Don't just assume people are naturally better than you and you're at a disadvantage. Hard work really does work. You just have to stay committed.
tghetto5 sorry thats not what i meant to say... i meant not everyone has the same peak. cp3 works harder than most players in the league (inspires me tbh, along with the kobes and blake griffins of the nba) but yeah he has a higher ceiling when it comes to handles. i meant he was born with talent that few of us possess, not that he was a prodigy outside of the womb or anything. but there are lots of guards with elite handles that work and their never reach his level... in my humble opinion the only 2 players on his level when it comes to handles are irving and curry
kefkapalazzo1 Yeah I agree. I mean there may be people who can dribble faster and harder than Paul, or do double ball drills better than Paul. There are also players with more flashy handles than Paul, but when it comes to body control in tight spaces and getting wherever you want against NBA talent it's Paul no doubt. Tony Parker is pretty good at that too. To me though, it's more of a testament to him just knowing how to play out of the pick n roll. It's more of an intelligence thing. I imagine if you gave most NBA starting point guards dribbling drills, they could all do it at a similar speed. I think what really separates CP3 is his IQ. But overall I think we agree. He has something special. Not a lot of 6 foot dudes can dominate the NBA. I was just trying to motivate you. I work with little kids so I see it every day when the less coordinated kids get discouraged and stop trying. But you're right, not everyone is going to be CP3.
I find it disrespectful for people too write cp3 off in the MVP race when before he got injured he was a top 3 player..its like people forgot what he did pre injury n jus said fuck him
He is still the 3rd best player in the game. the season after he had the major surgery he averaged 15.9 PPG and 9.8 APG. ever since then, his numbers have been on the rise. right now he is averaging 19.6 PPG and 11.2 APG which is right on the doorstep of his 2 best seasons from 2007-09. He's not as fast as he was, but he is a smarter player now. hes a better leader and a better passer now then he was before. He is more then making up for his lost speed, which is not to say he is slow or anything, as he is still one of the quickest players in the game( in the half court, change of pace,ect) and has above average end to end quickness.
Explosiveness is not what basketball is based off of . Skill is . Which comes from many things but the biggest factor to skill is intelligence . Agreed ^
Great master of basketball
man I hope he gets a ring
Such a great team. I don't see how anyone could dislike these highlights.
My favourite player. Passing and scoring player. CP3 FOREVER
Not to mention defense, He's one of the best all around basketball players in the game.
Best player I've seen reading the pick and roll. Always seemed to make the right read.
What’s crazy is I was saying he lost a step here in 2014 now coming back to this in 2021 he really never lost a step he was just injured which he always was
Master pg
Top 10 all time
Angel locsin
I would say top 5 pg all time (top 3 with a championship!)
dude is almost unstoppable, its not even about his speed his step back and his handles and court version are too much.
Great handles. Knows where and when to use them to.
Is "Whose the best pg" even a relevant question??? I mean the questions quite obvious if you ask me. Nothing to debate if you have actually seen CP play. There are no flaws to his game. Simply the best and its not all that close if you ask me
The guy can take it to the hoop...fast and effectively!!
That would be Sick if you could dig up a Vince Carter offense highlights
You should do Chris Paul defense highlights
I will give Cp3 this...he has the best handles off ALL TIME...**wait for Iverson fan boys to chime in**...but then the true basketball heads see how CP3 handles are better. Ball handling is like Technology its an evolving art form. The next great ball handler will be better than Cp3 and so forth. AI was great but like any Great student of the game, CP3 prolly studied then mastered iverson package, just like the next generation is studying cp3
I think everyone wants to see.... Vince Carter with the Raptors, McGrady with the Rockets, & Allen Iverson in 01-02!
Best PG ever!
Im surprised the passing highlights didnt start at 1:30
dat in-and-out though
his shot form and release is PERFECT ERUIHERNR8NRG
I love these vids man. You are doing a great job. You should definitely consider doing a Blake Griffin Highlight reel. He's is killing it right now and not just with the dunks.
Please can u do a TONY PARKER vid....thanks man..would really appreciate it
7:32 "Klay Thomspon is one of the elite defenders at the 2 position."
Drains 3 in his face.
Millenials gotta came here to understand why nowadays hes one of the Bests,
Cp3 is really eliiiiite (& btw you should make one for Klay Thompson too)
Do Andre iguodala dion waiters Loul Deng please
Yesss he's the best!
great at creating space
Chris has the highest basketball IQ in the NBA. I'd rather have a point guard who has a very high IQ than an explosive point guard but can't make plays for his team mates e.g. Paul>>Westbrook. Don't get me wrong I love Westbrook, but if you get to choose of one of them, would you really take Wes over Paul? Just saying.
Ofc paul
thank you
easily the best point guard in the nba
Manu Ginobili PASSING HIGHLIGHTS PLZ
Too Good
He takes lay ups and free throw shots and has two of the best jumpers in the world as teammates, on top of all that dude flops and throw his arm in the air while yelling every single game. Handles yeah not sure why he made it like he did.
put a dwyane wade part 2
Chris Paul, reminding us that half these new young point guards can't pass to save their lives.
I put the ultimatum, This is the challenge before i crown him as the best point guard he has to outperform all these point guard in this upcoming playoff. To me its a free-for-all for the best spot. Russ-cp3-tp9-curry-damian lillard...whoever goes farthest in the playoff is the best point guard simple. Ima big cp3 fan but it is disrespectful to magic, stock, isiah, kidd, gp20 to get the "Best PG" title but u cant lead ur team pass the first round
Deandre jordan just might be the most athletic center in nba history imo
he isn't a Point Guard.. he IS Point God

im not even going to waste my time requesting melo's anymore, It's not like hes listening.
he made it now though.
where is his left hand ?
HAHAHA kiddo go to sleep.
Roy hibbert highlights
the step back is too real... he can fade or just string together another move. wish i could get those handles but you can't teach that

tghetto5 i still think speed is part of the skill, and we both agree that chris paul has dribbling speed that youre either born with or you dont

2nd best point guard.
Playoff highlights will be much shorter.haha.
will they? because chris paul is a beast in the playoffs. look up his stats and come back with your biased idiotic opinions
Jens Petter Lund he ment clipper are out in the 1st round ; P
Best Pg in the L
I always thought he was overrated...not anymore
You must be one of those people who look at anyone doing good and think "Overrated"
AJVersatility19
no I thought Rose and Rondo were better but Chris Paul has beast handles
Henry Rauscher He is overrated. Man hasn't led his team past second round, yet people are already comparing him to Magic Johnson.
Michael Oh Wait, are we talking about Chris Paul or his teams?
Very true but he is extremely talanted but not a true winner
I find it disrespectful for people too write cp3 off in the MVP race when before he got injured he was a top 3 player..its like people forgot what he did pre injury n jus said fuck him
He is still the 3rd best player in the game. the season after he had the major surgery he averaged 15.9 PPG and 9.8 APG. ever since then, his numbers have been on the rise. right now he is averaging 19.6 PPG and 11.2 APG which is right on the doorstep of his 2 best seasons from 2007-09.

CP3 is great
He said cp time
bingo!
parker
Imagine if he used his left hand
If anyone actually stops his right :P
got tired of looking at fade aways
Hell yeah
at least 50% of his points has to come from that elbow fadeaway :\
Rudy gay highlights please
He is not that explosive
Nope, but he's smarter then who ever is guarding him.
Explosiveness is not what basketball is based off of . Skill is . Which comes from many things but the biggest factor to skill is intelligence . Agreed ^
