I was watching the game versus Dallas and I thought, Chris Paul = IT. Then they showed CP's moves and then showed IT's moves - identical!!

To be better a player than IT is no tall order (better GM shouldn't be a problem though ). IT is a legit all time great , it goes to show how much of a stink job he performed here that his playing legacy has been eclipsed.

Chris Paul and Isiah comparisons are legit. Isiah's legacy is still more fierce at this stage of Pauls career, but Paul still has time to show what he is made of. I can't see the guy not winning a championship before its said and done.

Out of all the young players in the league, if I was building a team, I would take chris paul, even over lebron. Chris paul is fierce.

I think I would have to say the same. With Nash and Kidd both on the back end of their careers.....Chris Paul basically has a mismatch every night. He plays the defense like a they aren't there. He switches speeds beautifully. Just a pleasure to watch. Thing is.......when Paul has it going his whole team is following him.

I believe any and every team should start with a point guard.

On a side note, I want guys to check out "soul in the hole" its a basketball documentary about Kenny's Kings from brooklyn, featuring Booger Smith.......wanna talk about point guards? Its all about taking off through the point guard. Booger was deadly and he had the finishers and ball players with him to make his game look that much better.

Anyway the way that guy Booger played is how Chris Paul is playing. He is just taking his team to new heights just for showing up.

Question: we don't know how far the Hornets will go but, how good would JR Smith be next to Paul right now? Could Byron Scott take him back? Shit man a paul and jr backcourt would be sick.

So he's gonna be a terrible GM and a sexual harasser? I guess he'll be Walsh's replacement then!

I am going to get killed for saying this, but does anyone else remind you of Charlie Ward on Chris Paul's posture? Not the skill set but just his stance and all. They both have that straight up dribbling stance.

Again, I am not comparing their skill set...just their posture and technique.

I'd agree. Ward was just a lot stiffer and uncreative. They both are very similiar body wise good observation gumshoe!

Paul could end up being the best PG of all time if he keeps this level of play up.

CP3 is all truth, but lets fall back for a second. Regardless of what we all feel about Zeke, this is a cat that was instrumental in helping the Pistons grab two 'ships during the Magic, Bird, Jordan era. Zeke is an all-time great.

Yeah man, Isiah was great......Paul is trying to get to where Isiah was. He's gonna get there if he continues to play this way. He's got to take down the mighty spurs though then we can really go nuts on the man love.

Hopefully Bruce "Lee" Bowen doesn't try to injure him. That said, if he can take down the defending Champs (they're old but they can still go) - he's there whether the Bugs go all the way or not.
