Re: C. Paul: "He can't guard me!"
[QUOTE=EuJazz]Yeah a different one than me too.
He got pissed during the Jazz's last win in NO, and straight shoved Kirilenko out of the way for a rebound, tore down the court out of control, ran right over Deron Williams (who was standing still haha), got a charge and became IRATE that they called it a charge.
4 points and 9 dimes. [B]You're kidding yourself if you say he never loses his head.[/B][/QUOTE]
Way to take what I said out of context. Did I EVER say there that he NEVER loses his head??
Please don't put words in my mouth.
The poster implied that he loses his head almost always or inevitably will.
It is my take that he is just ultra competitive and he is one of the top 5 players in the league that I would want in the 4th quarter.
THAT is a different player than illustrated by that poster.

Absolutely. CP3 is currently playing at a higher level than KJ even did.
I love KJ. But after he retired he became one of the most overrated players on this board IMO.
Don't get me wrong he was great, but people some people put him above GP, Stockton, and Isiah. Not me.
I know he had the 20/10 thing, but I watched him, and he was never as good as CP3 currently.
If you put early '90's KJ on the Hornets. They ain't winning as many games. Period.

[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]You're the one who said it was disrespectful of Paul...[/QUOTE]
woops what i wrote could be read two ways.
What I mean is I don't like that taunting and bad sportsmanship is considered being competitive.
Re: C. Paul: "He can't guard me!"
paul is developing into a HUGE trash talker. its turning me off of watching his good play. might even get to the point where I dont like him anymore. I actually started disliking him after he failed in the olympics guarding players. now its growing the more trash he talks

I agree. But I don't consider Paul telling Kidd he can't guard him as unsportsmanlike.

BTW MJBULLS, I'm normally on the other sides of these arguments defending the older guys as you know with our guy MJ, but CP3 has made a believer out of me bro.
Re: C. Paul: "He can't guard me!"
Paul can't even get over the Williams hurdle. How do you expect him to get over the legends hurdle so quickly? Stop overrating him. This is how it starts until he becomes the next Kobe or LeBron with everybody on his nuts.
Re: C. Paul: "He can't guard me!"
So? I like that attitude.

I can only call it like I see it man. I don't expect others to agree yet.
I'm not trying to overrate him or be controversial. For all I know, his play could dip next year, etc.
But if we're talking about a level of play for a PG over the course of a season, etc., I haven't seen anyone do like this since Magic.

it's not necessarily that older players are always better, but I'm not sure I can place CP3 that high so soon.
Maybe he will prove me wrong in the near future. Who knows? :confusedshrug:

I loved KJ's game, but I'll say it again, if you put KJ on these Hornets I don't see them winning 55 games.

Nobody really can guard CP3, though.[/QUOTE]
There is this guy, I think his name is called Deron Williams....
