Typical Skap skewing the narrative and leaving out CP3's most CLUTCH moments like hitting a huge 3 to cut the lead to 42

That "what?" From Russ cracks me up everytime

The “banana boat buddy” line… Venomous. 😂

Refreshing to see someone actually watching and examining things instead of getting caught up in the hype. People just be following stats, memes and fanboy sports analysts. Thank you Skap!

I'm neither a Chris Paul admirer nor a hater, however if you consider him a "BARELY top 10" all-time point guard, then you can't call him a fraud.

Good to finally have a commentator that doesn’t feed into the emotional narratives that media gives to superstars

Skap is the professor I wish I had in college.

The point "God" will always be Magic Johnson in my book. I know that the modern crowd will say that it's Steph which to me is ridiculous. If you want to call Steph the best shooter ever that is just fine but the best point guard? Is he a better passer than Magic? A better playmaker? A better rebounder? A better defender? There are a lot of facets to playing PG beyond shooting.

glad you gave Cousy his due. it's easier to follow a blueprint than it is to **be** the blueprint, and he was the blueprint that every PG since has followed. always give respect to the pioneers.

This is slander, cp3 in damn near 20 years has averaged 47% from the field, 36.8 from 3, 9.4 assist with only 2.4 turnovers while getting 2 steals a game effectively evening out his pass turnover ratio. I forgot to mention 87% free throw percentage all while being only 6 ft tall. What he did to the spurs in 2015 was fucking epic but hampered him in the next series against Houston. He may not be the most accomplished but his heart and overall efficiency is hard to match. He doesn’t miss many shot and he isn’t a turnover machine. If Westbrook had that kind of finesse I’d argue he would’ve been the absolute goat

If Chris Paul is a point god, Isiah Thomas is a Titan, and Magic Johnson is basically Chronus.

John Stockton is the purest point guard of all time. Could you imagine him playing in todays league 😳 His only fault was he didn’t try and score more so just picture him shooting more three’s 😳😳

Lmao, imagine thinking Westbrick is even in the same universe as CP3, let alone better. You know nothing about basketball dude.

Chris Paul has a complex legacy. He's only reached a finals once and only made past the 2nd round twice, was not liked by maybe a lot of his former teammates and has been on 6 teams in his career, leaving at least 3 of those teams on not so great to pretty bad terms. but to my eye, and as someone who values the "pure" point guard position more then any other position in basketball, I believe he is the 5th or 6th greatest point guard in NBA history (Magic, Steph, Thomas, Oscar, Kidd, Stockton...Paul?) EVERYWHERE Chris Paul has been, they have won and been a playoff contender at the very least. He was the biggest reason for the Clippers becoming perennial 50+ regular season winners and was a bad hamstring away from very possibly winning a ring with James Harden. Not to mention he might have had his greatest season with the highly overachieving OKC Thunder under his leadership. No I don't think he ever could have been the best player on a title winning team but he IS one of the greatest point guards ever and an unquestioned HOF.

Paul is a surefire HOFer. He's easily one of the best of his generation.

Would love to see Skap on ESPN. They would never allow it 😂😂 Especially when he speak on their precious Lebron.

Read an article back in 2018 about how CP3's career was such a perplexing enigma in how he hits certain metrics that put him in an exclusive club with all-time players, yet he had (at the time) never even sniffed a Finals series. He's vastly benefited every team he's been on. Took the lottery-bound Thunder to the playoffs. Blake Griffin, Deandre Jordan probably owe him half their career earnings. Had the GSW super team on the ropes in the 2018 WCF. Is still playing at a high level at age 38 at a position that's VERY unkind to old little guys. He clearly has the drive, intelligence and skills of a champion. It just shows how hard it is to win in the league; so many things have to go right, and a lot of it is out of the hands of any player.

Point Fraud makes loads of sense for this guy

Funny how you spit on a guys individual accolades yet speak on his lack of team success as if it’s his own individual failures

"Nerd media" is the worst thing to ever happen to sports.

Not only does SKAP state his case, he gives receipts, facts and st8 breakdowns that cannot be denied. A true scholar of the sport. 💯

There are a few "superstars" in today's game who are only superstars because of how the nba changed its play. There a some players from the 90s who if you put them in today's game they become "superstars" and potential league MVPs

Another great video. I believe Steve Nash should get much more credit than he deserves and had he not been playing in what is arguably the toughest conference of all time, I think he would have a couple rings. Glad to see you show Stockton love here. People try to downplay his stats as cumulative having played 20 years but that's why he is so far ahead of everyone because he had such a high peak for so long. Remember 40 years old Stockton was still around 10 ast pg. That's crazy. With no Malone at that. His jazz beat superteams of Barkley Olajuwon and Drexler and a shaq Kobe team with 4 all stars in back to back seasons to get to the finals.

Chris Paul is the prime example of why losing in the post season should come with a $50+ million fine for "super stars" lol

Chris Paul was the reason the hornets survived in New Orleans. Js

Gary Payton deserved a mention,along with Tim Hardaway. Glad you mentioned Stockton and Kidd,i have them in my top 5 along with Magic,Isiah and Curry,but those 2 are my favorite.

It’s a little weird to compare 70s;80s;90s with 2000s

When the media talks about Chris Paul they talk as if he’s magic johnson. Maybe win a ring first

Calling bron a bad playoff closer like its easy to be in the finals is crazy.

Lmao silly, he gave stockton and westbrook passes but criticize paul for not winning. And anyone playing before the 80s wouldnt make it in todays league

Chris Paul is the definition of empty stats

Skap starting the video with CP's full government names got me real good 😂

Terrible analysis and over hate ima tell you the real problem with why Chris’s paul injury, bad decisions on few opportunities and overall just bad luck. He really has Defied a lot of odds. He shouldn’t be as good of a defender he is undersized but was still a legendary player and let’s be real he got drafted by a team where most top picks careers would of died at. All this while being injury prone. And Jason Kidd verball said he is better then him and im taking his word for it plus if you watched Chris is better

I’m intrigued with this one. I like Chris Paul but the lack of success is more than just injuries.

Nah CP3 is without a doubt better than John Stockton bruh. Aint no way you have CP3 worse than a player who cant even dribble with his left hand.

Every single team he's ever been on has won more games than they ever had in franchise history. It takes a complete team to win a ring, no 1 player has ever done it on their own. MJ couldn't even make it out of the first round until Pippen got good. Kobe, LeBron and Curry all missed the playoffs entirely when they weren't on stacked teams. Learn then you may speak.

chris paul is a top 6 pg of all time...he might not have a title but he made the clippers revelant!

I think Chris Paul will be remembered for his basketball commercials.

You call Chris Paul a playoff choker with only his statistics to back up his placement in the GOAT debate and then bring up John Stockton who couldn’t shoot with his left hand alr man

Most Assists (by a PG) - Stockton Most Steals (by a PG) - Stockton Most Rings (by a PG) - Magic So how is CP3 a "Point God"?

No NBA players were harmed during the making of this video lol

John Stockton!! My favorite “pure” PG ever. He was scary good.

Point guards, from a historical standpoint, don't lead to championships

for everyone who tuned in please help my boi blow up. we need more refreshing and honest content like this. keep up the great work my guy.

You are the voice of reason with takes that the media is terrified to get behind. Thank you!

Westbrook should not go above CP3 because while every team you add CP3 to gets better, most teams that added Russ got worse. I say that as someone who likes Russ and dislikes CP3. Russ' whole argument would be his crazy individual numbers which have never translated to team success

Idk why Lakers fans think this man was gonna be a difference in 2011 😂 still wasn't beating OKC. Chris Paul an Kobe would've bumped heads an Paul would've left immediately.

You can tell this guy's been waiting YEARS to post this video. Never seen someone genuinely dislike a player more than this. (except maybe LeBron)

I’d love to see a video of your rankings for the greatest teams of all time.

Such a good list of poing guard names you mentioned there above CP3! My list is pretty much the same, the order of names probably different in a few spots around 5-10 spot range. Although there is one name I did not see or hear mentioned I probably would also put above CP3. How about Gary Payton? He probably is the best defensive pg of all time during his prime and could still put up 24/9/6 averages offensive during his prime. DPOY winner and a champion aswell. Sure CP3's 'prime' has been a bit longer but The Glove still won more and made more finals aswell. I would rank Payton higher than CP3.

no point guard has every led their team to a ring besides Isaiah Thomas.. Curry did, but with an all-star cast... odds have always been against Paul

As a point guard standing 6 feet tall, you NEED scorers around you to make your point guarding skills the most effective.. all of prime CP3 best teammates, outside of Harden, were pick & roll lob catchers..

His peak wasn't even that great. His peak wasn't as high as Nash, DRose, even DWill or Dame

Thank you for showing respect to the old guys🙏. I grew up watching Patrick Ewing and John Stockton. Athletes that earned your respect when they hit the floor each game.

'Christopher Emmanuel Paul'?! I lost it in the first second. I didn't know that was his real name, fq me!🤣

Its easy to point out how bad someone is when you leave out the good

hope you got the same energy for carmelo cause the same things you said for cp3 can be used for melo as well

Great Video!! I wish you were on Sports Shows like First Take or Undisputed because you would destroy most of those talking heads because you actually use FACTS!!!

Stephen A saying "he's not a point guard. he's a point gaaaaaawd" makes me cringe. Bad turn of phrase

Chris Paul is barely 6 foot, and has elevated every time he’s been on. But he’s constantly been surrounded by frauds. David West, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Devin Booker. He’s always been a Number 2 surrounded by 3s or 2s at best. Imagine if we saw him at his prime with a KOBE, LBJ, Kawhi, Giannis, Jokic.

I’m willing to what my 🥜 that the narrator can’t hoop to save his life

CP has some of the best playoff performance numbers of all time. It was his teammates who let him down. 6 ft tall. 9 All NBA Defense selections. 6th all time in total VORP (reg season and playoffs). Literally the lb for lb GOAT and its not even close.

Good job man in speaking the truth about these players and exposing the media narrative about the players. Got my support

Great vid as usual Skap! Keep it up!

Dude smh are you serious with this video??! Smh what a joke. Chris Paul is easily one of the best PGs ever. He made EVERY single team better. Every team. 😒

Having my cup of coffee and some eggs/sausage this morning while listening to Skap is a great way to start the day.

Russ is not CLOSE to CP3! Triple double for what? Not even a 50 win team, and a first round exit to a rookie? Cp3 ain’t need a bunch of useless triple doubles to get the OKC without PG or Melo to the playoffs. He’s hella efficient, an amazing defensive player, a godly playmaker, and makes every team he was on better.

The clip of Ogre chanting “nerds” killed me 😂 Nice title too lol

Definitely Magic at number 1. Hard for me to pin down my other top pgs, but I really like you including Isaiah in there. I hated the pistons but if you adjust for game pace and competition his stats and career become even more special. Guy would have averaged an easy 25 to 27 with his quickness in today's game

CP3 out-chocked Harden in 2015!

Zeke is CP3 without Dumars, Rodman, Aguirre & Laimbeer.. TEAM is so important to collective success

This just sound like player hating

The thing about CP3 is he always choke or get mysterious injuries during post season

Joke aside, Rondo was more reliable than CP3

Damn, 4 vids in one week is insane productivity. Keep it up Skap

Bravo, sir (And just for perspective, Lebron has 1,112 less assists and 2,105 more turnovers) 👑🤡

Chris Paul is one of those players you want too win even though they just can’t

Y’all ain’t catch that “banana boat buddy” 😂😂😂

Exellent video as always, thanks for the great content

I would love to see a video on Russell Westbrook. He’s one of those players it’s hard to gauge just how good he is. Is he great and just hasn’t been on good enough teams in his era or is he good with great stats but not as great as his stats would suggest? I think this is something skap attack could find out.

Can’t be a Point GOD if you have 5 blown 2-0 leads on your resume

Bison: “Something wrong, Colonel? You came here to fight a madman, and instead you found a FRAUD?”

Definitely think it's odd how CP3 hasn't had much playoff success but using box score stats and wins and losses without adding any context is a weak argument. "Nerd stats" are flawed but they're better than completely ignoring the context of how CP3 plays.

smith is a yes man he's on a leash point God 😂😂😂

Question how many guys under 6’4 are better than Cp3?

I knew this video was gonna be tough when it started with “Christopher Emmanuel Paul”. 😂

Thank you for saying what needed to be said.

Thoroughly overdue video. The wait was worth it. 🔥🔥🔥

You forgot to mention 4 times champion point guard Tony Parker as better player than Chris Paul

Chris Paul is no question top 5 point all time. If you waste your time debating otherwise you prolly have just started watching basketball yesterday. I never knew this many people knew so little about basketball lmao

Hahah found this channel just now. Love the going against the grain with facts. Refreshing.

Fantastic analysis and accurate reading of the overrated players in this era. The only issue I have is not classifying Steph as a point guard. He definitely is - he is just a scoring one. No one else on that team would come close to classifying as a point other than him, who has the ball and initiates most of the offense even though he does give the ball up and get it back a ton. In my view, these discussions always start and end with titles won as your team's best player, FMVPs won, MVPs won, DPOYs won. Magic (5, 3, 3, 0), Steph (2, 1, 2, 0- KD best player on 2 titles teams), Isiah (2, 1, 0, 0), Stockton (2 appearances in finals as team's best player, statistically more dominant than Kidd), Kidd (2 appearances in finals as team's best player), in that order.

Very interesting and well fleshed out take, Skap! It’s refreshing to see these videos and hear the same rhetoric I’ve always said. Chris Paul is like a Bentley that was purchased from a police auction. On the surface, it looks good. Hell, it may even drive good. But underneath that hood, something is missing, making the car unreliable. That’s what CP3’s career seems like to me. For all the stats and high regular season winning percentage, come play off time, that next gear is absent. Much like a component in the aforementioned Bentley. Whether it’s inefficient play, or a well timed and convenient injury, he’s always falling short in the playoffs. And this may be an unpopular take, but he was in the same draft as Deron Williams. While Williams didn’t have the longevity that Paul had, at their peaks, I’d say Williams was the better PG.

Why people never mention Jason Kidd as a top 5 pg I believe he definitely is a top 5 Guard

The CP3 Disrespect MUST STOP. 1st of all, CP3 wasted his Prime like 7-8 Years Playing for nothing with the Hornets. 2nd CP3 is like 5’9” and has played damn near 20 Seasons and made Multiple AllStars!! 3rd if CP3 played with a Player like Mailman or Kareem or SHAQ or even Embiid he could have had the Same Success as other All-Time Great PGs.

Cliff Paul, Chris Fraud, Point Fraud, Cockpuncher, Stephen Curry’s oldest son. You can come up with so many nicknames you can associate with this damn joke. Lol

I've thought that for a long time as well. To play just a little devil's advocate for CP3 one little factoid about him literally nobody talks about is that he's one of only 3 players from the 2008 Redeem Team to never play with another member of that team in the NBA, the other 2 Tayshaun Prince and Michael Redd who were on their last legs by then. Definitely ended up being the odd man out of the nuclear arms race that was the super team era. But honestly, the last 6-7 years he has had some great talent, he's just too short to play defense in the playoffs lol. Plus like, there were rarely points over the span of his career where he was considered the best even among his peers. Maybe in 2007 & 2008 when he was reaching his peak and Nash and Kidd were declining he was but after that there were a couple years where the consensus that Deron Williams was the best (let that sink in), then a couple years where D-Rose was until...ya know. I guess for a couple years it was CP3 again by default but then Curry came into his own and the rest is history. Hell, make a definitive case he's higher than Kyrie all time.

The fact u opened up the video with his whole government is crazy

I love CP3 but can't argue a single word you said 😭

He has elevated every team he has been on. Look at the Hornets, Clippers, Rockets, OKC, & Suns. They were much better after CP3 got there, and they were worst after he left. Say what you want about CP3, but he elevates his team.
