I've been watching CP3 his entire NBA professional career and he isn't an exceptional defender. Sure, he gets a couple of steals, but that's because he gamble sometimes. The same can be said about Ricky Rubio. Allen Iverson was also the same way. People would look at his stats and see 3 steals, and immediately they would think he's a solid defender. That's not even close to being true.

Do you watch him play? Who has he put the clamps on? Deron used to make him his ***** when he was healthy. All of those steal stats were him jumping passing lanes, he's just not that great on the ball. I don't think he's bad but yes, he's overrated as a defender.

steals are not part of defense?
jordan is considered the epitome of elite defense yet cats had 30+ games against him, tim duncan had pf light him up for 50+ nights and he's considered an elite defender.
defense is not a zero sum game.
chris paul is a great team defender and that is an 'underrated' defensive attribute. forget your opinions on the man, the dude is a great defender.

Its basically impossible to shut down NBA level talent
Some of yall act like if a player ever gives up a few highlights, he's a human turnstile

Agreed on cp3. Overrated af on d. Iverson wasn't a good defender either . I've never seen cp shut anyone down. The good defender rumors are just rumors fans of his make up to hype him up .

Bron on Rose in the playoffs during Rose's MVP year?
I've seen enough CP3 games to justify how I feel to myself, if you feel otherwise go ahead. Not that serious.

Lmao.
Rubio is actually a really good defender. Besides passing, it's all he's good at.

It's kind of silly to compare Chris Paul to LeBron from a defensive standpoint. CP is only 6 feet tall and a good, but not exceptional athlete. He doesn't have the physical attributes to be able to lock down everyone, especially bigger players. But he's great with steals and generally makes the players he's guarding work hard for what they get, so IMO his reputation as a good defensive player is warranted.

Sad 2 hear about Steve but happy he had a great career, a true PG. 1 of the best 2 ever do it. His biggest fan, AI
Take that, Nash haters! If AI says he was one of the best to ever do it, who are any of you to argue?

You mean at guard or all positions?

the guard position is the hardest to defend. because every night you are going up against someone who is eithr really good, really fast, or crazy athletic. center and power forward position is easiest to defend, then small forward.

I don't know. LeBron had a pretty legit claim to that title, as will AD soon.

tbh Nash sitting out the season is the best thing for the Lakers
They are able to move on and invest in better and younger PGs
