In my opinion if CP3 wins a ring this year he still has no case over Magic and Curry.
It would be a stretch to take him over Isiah, Big O and Stockton.
And depending how you value the 50s and 60s CP3 has no case over Cousys resume.
Nash may not have won a ring but he is a 2x MVP who elevated his team and was the clear leader and most important person on his team. The same cannot be said for Chris Paul in this suns team. Booker in my opinion is the #1 Guy on the team.
Then theres Kidd, Iverson and Westbrook who also have a case over CP3.
I guess the biggest knock on Chris Paul is he has never been to the Finals in his career and hypothetically if they win this year you can argue that he is not even the #1 Guy on the roster this season. Although, I do admit that he is a good leader and he can elevate his team mates.
