I'd say so because he is nearly unstoppable. This video by ESPN sports science shows and explains how:

If your as tall as Yao Ming and can jump as high as Derrick Rose you still can't block his fadeaway. You can only hope he misses.

No. I'm a Dallas fan but Kobe is still ahead.

Did you just say Westbrook is better than Chris Paul?...... Westbrook is hardly a point guard at all, he's still learning the position. Chris Paul is a legit Point Guard who doesn't constantly shoot terrible shots. CP3 is right behind Williams and Rose.

Just seems from your stance on point guards you value scoring more than what the point guard position is designed for(ever heard of oh I don't know, PASSING?). CP3 is a far superior passer than rose, deron, and westbrook, not to mention he plays far superior defense(great lockdown defender and will always get you a couple of steals).

So you would take Stockton over Magic?

So yes, I'll take CP3, the best PG in the league, you can take your Rose who will shoot a low %, miss 3s, not play as good of defense as CP3, and miss open players on the floor.

I think Paul only suited up once against the Bulls this season, but I'm pretty sure Rose got the best of him there.

Nope, I'd easily take Magic, but good try at trying to avoid the atual points :)

Using one matchup to decide who is better... then not even providing any actual evidence. Yeah not even commenting on that.

I agree that CP3 is the best pure PG, but to say he is the best defender out of that crew is a bit ridiculous. Steals are not an indicator of a great defender...just ask anyone about AI. Is CP3 a good defender, sure, but not as good as RW. CP3 is 1st in steals and RW is 4th. RW is also a better 1on1 defender. Add in the fact that RW is the best rebounding PG at 4.6 per game and that gives him the edge defensively IMO.

CP3 is 2nd in assists to RW's 9th and that is where the "true PG" statement comes in, but RW scores 6 more points per game than CP3 while also having KD on his team. CP3 has a better a better PER, but RW is second amongst PG's.

So basically my point is this...if you are talking about true PG, then maybe I take Paul. If you are talking about player, then I would probably take Westbrook because of his ridiculous athleticism. I know CP3 isn't working with much in NO right now, but Russ is a FREAK athlete and he has no signs of bad knees like CP3 either.

As for DW and Rose...I think they are both great players. So if I was ranking the 4 players as true pg's I would rank them as so:

1. Paul 2. DW 3. RW 4. DRose

If I'm ranking as best overall player:

1. RW 1A. DRose 3. CP3 4. DW

There is a reason DRose and RW were 1st and 2nd team all-nba respectively.

First off, read the post, I said he has a great defender, and the fact he has steals is an added bonus, I thought I made it perfectly clear, because I figured you would think I was trying to say steals = great defender, no its same as someone good at blocks, just because you're great at blocking shots does not make you a great defender.

I don't mean to have this sound insulting, but are you honestly saying Deron is a better defender than CP3? Just checking because that is absolutely absurd.


CP3 has KD on his team? Again, are you sure you watch the NBA? Chris Paul plays on the Hornets......I mean...really? KD? Hope you're just making a simple mistake. Rajon has KG on his team, pierce, and allen.....of course you're going to get a lot of assists(not to have it be a knock on rondo though, hes an excellent passer, I'd easily take him over Rose too).

So basically if you're asking me who the true PG is I say CP3. If you're asking me who the better player is, I say CP3.

CP3... bad knees? Just because they're injured don't mean they're bad, apparently you havent seen him move on the court.

And no, Rose is not a great passer, please don't lie.

So if I'm ranking the players its 1) CP3, 2) Rajon, and then I'd say Rose & Deron are pretty tied, but I'd probably give the nod to Rose, especially since hes younger.

Again it seems you've bought into the drose hype, tell me, how did it go for Rose missing open people on the floor? Or shooting that low %? How about that 3pt shot?

Rose is lucky he plays on a better team with better coaching, CP3 is the better player, sorry but you're simply wrong.

It seems you should take your own advice.

He's comparing CP3 and RW on the defensive end. Not Williams.

Also he says RW has KD on his team. And even though there's a great 1st option at the Thunder he still scores 6 points more than CP3. That was his point.

3rd, I can't find where he says that he thinks Rose is a great passer.

Did you even read his post?

Guys this is starting to get out of control. Just stop PrizzlePulse and Stauder, both of you are acting immature in an opinion thread about which NBA players are the best. If PrizzlePulse thinks Player A is better, while Stauder thinks Player B is better, then so be it. But neither of you should use personal attacks, that is just immature.
