He does everything better. He's a better passer, more efficient scorer, more clutch (He's been the most clutch player in the league this season), and he's a better defender.

Parker is a better scorer and a better defender

No he's not. CP3 averages more points and is more efficient. CP3 isn't a great one on one defender, but he more than makes up for it with his steals. He perennially leads the league in steals.

Durant has to figure out how to have more success against good defenders before he can be called the best player in basketball. Guys like Artest and Marion still give him fits. If not for Westbrook (incredibly enough) and a lucky bounce Durant would have shot OKC into an 0-2 hole against the seven seed.

The Bony Homie is soft.

CP3 is "obviously" the better player than Deron Williams? I wouldn't even say he's necessarily the better player at all.

What does he do better than Parker? Cooler moves? Sells more jerseys?

The Spurs would be unbeatable. Give Chris Paul two All Stars like Gino and Timmy and incredible depth and he'd make that team unbeatable. He took a piss poor Hornets team to the playoffs 3 times in four years and the only reason they didn't make the playoffs that one year was because he was hurt most of the year. This season he's made a extremely flawed Clippers team that was previously a lottery team and made them to a legit contender in the West.
 
KD isnt even close to as good as Kome. They both miss soo many shots its unreal. But Kome is clutch as ever. Bony Boy is soft and his playoff stats are weak. He is very young though. He actually reminds me of a young slightly less tall Dirk. Dirk played no defense and when young too. Dirk is in top 5 in scoring in the playoffs of all time. KD is gonna be that good too. The only player right now you would want to build a franchise around is Dwight Howard. Best Center in NBA.Best player overall to build around is a center. Sorry Bynum one year aint nothing and Bynum is injury prone and a baby.

:lmao2: @ saying Bynum is a baby and not mentioning that Howard is a bigger one. Dude is a clown. No low post moves unlike Bynum who has great low post moves. Howard is slightly better defensively and on the boards, but that gap is closing.

he averaged 1 more point per game in 4 more minutes per game, id say parker would easily get at least 1 more bucket per game in 4 minutes! its not by much, and its so close that its subjective, but i believe he is the better scorer. as for defense, CP3 gets a lot of steals! but at the same time he gets burned trying to go for them. in the end, trying to compare their defensive skills is like us discussing who is the better running quarterback between tom brady and peyton manning.

i wont argue that CP3 isnt better, because i do believe he is better in just about every facet, but i dont think he is a LOT better than parker. i guess if it were madden, paul would be a 95 and parker a 91.

i still think derrick rose is the best PG in the league, we will see how his injury will affect him next year.

what are they chanting? im embarrassed to admit it but im on my way to the movie theater to wait in line for the avengers!
 
as for the bynum vs howard debate, i think bynum is better offensively, howard is a LOT better defensively, and overall this year, bynum was probably slightly better. but you have to take into account a few things, for one, its just one year, you cant be the best at any position off of just one year, bynum needs to do this consistently for 2 more years, then we can talk. He also needs to continue to stay healthy, he has accomplished that so far, but his knee seems to need a lot of maintenance for me to see him playing deep into his 30's, its worrisome in the long run. Howard also doesnt have 2 of the top 10 players in the league on his team.

No, but he had a chance to, but he vetoed a trade that would've sent him to the Lakers for Bynum, Ebanks, and a pick. Dude is a moron. He can't touch Bynum offensively and as I said the gap between the two defensively is closing fast.
 
The problem with this Knicks team is they simply don't have the type of players that can create problems for the Heat. Miami struggles against those quick speedy point guards and against low post scorers. NY doesn't have a quick point guard or a low post threat. Boston has a quick point guard in Rondo (As long as the idiot doesnt get suspended again) and a low post threat in KG who has looked like 2008 KG since being moved to center. I really believe the Celtics can beat the Heat because of those reasons. The Celtics also have the confidence that they can beat Miami because they destroyed them twice during the regular season. If Allen is healthy the Celtics have an excellent shot at winning the East.
 
As great as the Spurs played last night......let us not overlook the fact that Utah missed a ton of shots within 5 ft of the basket. They just could not get a shot to fall for the entire first half. Although, they were able to sink more in the 2nd half, they were still missing a lot of point blank and wide open shots.....

The Spurs need to continue to attack, attack, attack......cause the games will be much more competitive in Utah....

BTW, I wonder if the lights will magically go out when the Spurs are in the middle of a huge run......it has happened a few times before.....oh that SLC power grid.

Parker has carried Manu and TD. Not vice versa.
