So yawl gonna stop callin Paul George overrated now?

[branslowski]

Dudes been ballin, has his team at a 4-0 Record while putting up 25.7ppg 8.3reb 4ast on 48% fg.:applause:

Last 4 games:

31pts 10reb 4ast vs Pistons
21pts 13reb 3ast vs Cavs
32pts 6reb 5ast vs NOH
24pts 6reb 5ast vs ORL

Not to mention his dominating man to man and help defense. He's slowly reminding me of 03' Kobe with the great All Round production and great perimeter defense. Paul George for MVP if Rose Doesnt turn it around in Chicago.:applause:

Didn't see the other threads on him. This thread won't jinx him, once you get the branslowski approval u are a top player for here on out.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Yeah Rose has no chance at MVP at this point and it's pretty obvious so I don't know why you'd bring that up.
It's Chris Paul that is leading him in the MVP discussion and will continue to do so, although Lebron looks to have woken up.

[Meticode]

Too early. No doubt he's played fantastic, but at least give me a quarter of a season or half of a season until we start doing these types of threads.

When you talk about offensive and Defensive impact combined then only LeBron James has a slight argument over George overall. As of now for the first week? PG has outplayed both Durant and James.

It's no coincidence both PG and Durant are atop defensive win shares and defensive rating while LeFlop is nowhere to be found.

Watch that Pacers series. LeFlop was giving up wide open shots to the Pacers because he tried to flop for the whistle

I don't mind if you say he's overrated but at least back it up.

[entropy35]

He was overrated last season. This season he has only played 4 games but looks really good.

We will see. Too early to tell if he has taken the next step offensively.

[AintNoSunshine]

Durant isn't even in the same neighborhood defensively.

Sure, but Durant is the much more reliable scoring threat and playmaker, I haven't seen the same from George.

If you need one of them to be the foundation of your team, it has to be Durant

[#number6ix#]

He's been balling but those teams aren't great defensively... Can't wait for pacers vs bulls tonight

[branslowski]

George is also a scorer and playmaker. Dropped 35pts 6rebv5ast the other night. Not to mention that his Defense is wayyyy greater than Durants.

[SpaceJammeR]

I seriously saw someone post that they think paul george is better than lebron on facebook.... and now this thread. lol

seriously lebron been doing this his entire career. paul george has 4 good games in a row and people say pg>lbj. lmao

[wally_world]

The entire team has been beasting. Hibbert is playing like a defensive beast we havent seen since Big Ben Wallace. Stephenson finding his niche and looks poised to be a solid starter for a long time to come. They haven't even been playing with George Hill essentially. They are my favourites for the title if they keep this up.

[AintNoSunshine]

George is also a scorer and playmaker. Dropped 35pts 6rebv5ast the other night. Not to mention that his Defense is wayyyy greater than Durants.

Again, the key word for me is "reliable, consistent". You can count on Durant to shoulder the load on a nightly basis, but I saw George played really inconsistently last year in the playoffs, one night he gets close to 30 the next just 15.

At least personally, I would take Durant 10 out of 10

[AintNoSunshine]

Also Durant is just as good of a rebounder, he isn't a shabby defender that you guys make it out to be too. Just his length alone, I have see him effectively stopping his opponent many times.

This ain't PG from the last years playoffs. He's better now offensively. Yea, Durant can get to the line and score consistently every night, but thats about all....Meanwhile, Paul George going 25-5-5 along with great D seems to be his reliable suit ATM.

And load shouldering? Durant has Westbrook to ease that, and we've seen a Durant led team without Westbrook, not so good....Meanwhile PG is shouldering offence with a sub par offensive cast. West is solid, but won't shoulder the load like PG.

Also the bonus of George is that he's far more of a team player than both LeBron and Durant. He doesn't need to hold the ball game in game out. So nights he will only score 18pts....but that would be because he allowed his team to stay hot and involved, and he still will prob have 8reb 6ast 3stl 2blk and shut down the other teams best player by the end of the night.

[SpaceJammeR]

definitely a fair position to take. but IF George keeps it up for the remainder of the season, you'd have to say they're pretty close.

Respect your opinion, but I don't buy that. If Bron and Durant post a stat of 8reb 6ast 3stl 2blk they will get killed and their team will get blown out, noone will call them "team player". That's the difference.

Also, Heat won on opening night in blowout fashion with LeBron being a non impact, he had like 15pts.

Dude....lol...I'm not saying LeBron isn't the best in the game. I'm saying SO FAR George is arguably outplaying both LeBron and Durant while also leading his team to an 4-0 record. 25.7ppg 8reb 4ast 1.7stl 1blk 28.9PER.

^^^^Basically, It's not outrageous to say PG is currently outplaying those guys.

You must of fell down the stairs and landed head first, you are ****ing retarded if you think Paul George is better then Durant or LeBron.

Even if he had 4 great games, he's going to settle down sooner then later.
26\8\4 is what LeBron averages for a season on a BAD year for him, not 4 games.

LeBron is averaging 26\8\6 on 58% FG and 50% 3PT this year while crusing, which is still better than PG's "great 4 game stretch"

[pnyozzzoo]

PG is a beast, the way he is playing and potential wise I have no problem trading Harden for him straight up. maybe even add a pick or so.

have you actually watched him though? I've seen him three times this season and he is hitting EVERYTHING, pull up threes, step backs. He gets to the rim so easily too, all while guarding the other team's best player. No its not too early, this guy is for real.

Wow. Let's just end the season already. 4 games in!

[pnyozzzoo]

i wouldn't go that far.
If I am morey I would, If I am bird I wont. I think with this trending he can be better than harden by the end of this season when it all said and done. He may average a couple less pts and have slightly less play making, but his defense, size, athleticism, will put him ahead. and he can swing it 2 or 3.

You're right, but being the 3rd best SF in the NBA is pretty big, too, when in most fan's minds the two best players in the NBA are SFs.

Why? So he's just going to stop getting better? Each year of his career he has improved substantially, I see no reason why he can't do that again this year.

[kobeef24]

I'll admit I called this guy overrated all summer, but he's really been impressing me this season. Especially his defense to go along with things. Hope he can keep it up, but I expect them to drop just a little.
