They will after Jeopardy.

Yeah, and after I'm finished with the early-bird special at Denny's.

Magic is one of my top 5 favorite athletes ever, Chris Paul isn't even in my top 20 but at this point in his career he's on his way to being better than Magic and has been statistically up to now, you can try to dispute that with things that aren't facts or team accolades but its true.

Chris Paul career is far from over but if he continues this pace and doesn't retire early like he says he will, he'll be better than Magic. Only brought up you being a Laker fan because there's going to be bias in your views about Magic weather you realize it or not

I'm old enough to have actually watched Magic in his prime. I've also seen pretty much every game Chris Paul has played since he joined the Clippers. And based on my own personal observation of both players, I give the edge to Magic. CP may go down as statistically the best PG ever to play, but in terms of overall impact on each game, I can't say he's better than Magic.

Swear to god I hate this type of talk.

Not so much the talk itself, but the preemptive praise.

If he has the potential to surpass someone, I'll potentially acknowledge it.

If he hasn't yet, then... no.

"But ska, he COOOULD be."

Right. I get that.

And he could not be. I'd rather appreciate what is.

"Yeah, but 'what is' is something that COULD be better than Magic."

its a shame how much MCW has fallen off. he would have been the greatest defensive player of all time if only he were to keep up is 8 steals per game average after the first game of the season

 

[darthska]

so in 20 years when your kids ask you about how great lebron was you would say "this one time he took mo williams AND mike brown to the finals and got swept. oh yeah he also won championships later on but thats not as impressive"




they might as well rename these the "jordan scored 63 points vs celtics but still lost", because who cares about 6 rings

Bred XIs

Camped out for those

Ummmm... those... aren't... black/red XIs... my dude.

 

[noblekane]

Never understood why nobody ever held up a lifesize cardboard cutout of chris kilpatrick while dwight was at the freethrow line...

My point was, even if CP ends his career with overall better stats than Magic, I still won't say he's the better player, based on having watched them both.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

awwsome is a great poster but this "Chris Paul is on pace to be better than Magic" Talk is crazy and I love Chris Paul's game. There's more than a few PG's Chris has to pass before he gets to Magic.

 

[HIM]

Gordon Hayward's last 4 games:


53 points on 56 shots.

30% from the field

22% from 3

Fly Boi for best troll?

 

[sea manup]

CFB was the one guy camping outside for 6rings 

 

[noblekane]

Ummmm... those... aren't... black/red XIs... my dude.

leave certified alone. Hes still trying to figure out if aaron hernandez was involved in the biggie and pac murders...

 

[nelson999]

 

please, tell me how exactly is boogie a more complete player than dwight howard

Hes more refined offensively in terms of his skill set.

it's really not even a debate. he is a more COMPLETE player.  not sure how anyone could argue that

 

[noblekane]

CFB was the one guy camping outside for 6rings 

he was like "damn i must be early for the camp out?"

but Dwert works out with Herkerm and Merkhale.

But not Kerrm Abdur Jerber

 

[do work son]

so according to 90% of NT, higher #s on paper = better player. 

love the logic


in fact, they should just stop playing the games after like the first 10 games of the season.  rest of the season just award the win to the team with the higher average points per game. sure would save everyone a lot of injuries 

You're arguing opinions, I'm arguing facts. Try and use a fact every now and then to support your argument.

 

[rck3sactown]

I hate everyone.


Everyone!

Remember that time you thought Kyrie Irving was left handed

Bless your poor heart.

Fly Boi for best troll?

Naw he couldnt tell the difference because his web tv box was hooked up to a 10 inch black and white tv

 

[clyde the glide]

 and i thought the lebron vs. mj debates were premature.  so cp3 is already better and more accomplished than isiah, kidd, stockton?

The hell you expect? Magic's career is over and Chris' isn't

Like I said at this point in both of their careers, Chris is better objectively.

Chris is better objectively.

I read three random sentences from that Nelson novel because I already know from past experiences dude is a ******...

Sure enough, dude out here bringing Shaq's stake in the Kings as some sort of relevance to the Cousins vs Howard comparison

Hey be nice to my dude Nelson

 

[addict4sneakers]

Gordon Hayward's last 4 games:


53 points on 56 shots.

30% from the field

22% from 3

19 assists to 13 Turnovers

In his defense, he's playing alongside Richard Jefferson. And Alec burks isn't exactly point guard either

im gonna take that as a compliment from the guy who says the Cowboys are headed to the Super Bowl. 

also a dude who has a new name every week because he keeps getting banned....... lmao

and this is the Shaq comment i was referring to:

 "I'm going to teach him the same mindset. When you step on the court – I don't like to use the word kill – but I'm trying to kill you; it doesn't matter who you are. He has that passion and that ferocity, but I don't want him to be like Dwight Howard  with all that laughing and giggling. I want him to be in tear-your-head-off mode."
