Thinking about Chris Paul

[Robotech]

I am not sure it is even that close to be honest.

Paul is also an elite defender. Nash was a turnstile. And I don’t think he was enough better offensively to make that up.

Paul is in the elite of the elite at the PG position. Nate McMillan is the only PG with a higher DBPM than Chris Paul.

I'm convinced Iverson was really 5'10" even though he was listed as 6'0".

He's 6 foot or over.

My co-worker met him last year, talked to him, shook his hand, and my co-worker is 6 foot even and said he was the same height, maybe an inch taller.

one of the top 6-7 point guards of all time probably.

Nash or Paul for a career? Paul or Kidd?

the answer is probably Paul for both.

I think Bill Simmons has him at like #3 behind Magic and Isiah.

CP over Nash, Kidd over CP.

Paul was a great player and a winner.

I think if things went a bit differently, he could have won a title when he was with the Clips. That was his best chance.

He makes Curry look tall.

Isn't Curry 6-3?

To be clear, I'm talking about barefoot height. I don't doubt that Iverson was 6 feet in his basketball shoes. Here's a quote from LeBron saying that AI was really 5'10.5"



And here is Iverson looking not much taller than Isaiah Thomas.

Isn't Curry 6-3?

Curry is listed as 6'3", but he's probably really 6'2". I'm talking about height without shoes.

 

[Robotech]

6'2" Curry with Iverson..

Lol.

I'm not going to argue. I never met the guy. I'm just telling you what my co-worker said.

He showed me a pic too of them standing together.

I'll tell you one thing. He's not 5'9".

A guy I used to play basketball with growing up often went to the outdoor pickup courts near Georgetown where AI used to play.

My friend was 6’0 and a pretty good athlete. He played defensive back at JMU and he said he was taller than AI. He also had a really awesome story.

He was the only guy back on a 1 on 1 break with AI coming full speed. My friend knew he had no chance and kind of froze like a deer in the headlights.

What did AI do? He spread Eagle, jumped over him and dunked on his head.

He was a bad man.

I'd be bragging about that for the rest of my life. lol
