Love Chris Pauls blistering 30% shooting vs Deron.
Williams > Paul
Always and forever.
If CP3 is MVP then Deron Williams is G.O.A.T.
By Craig Kwasniewski
Forget MJ, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Wilt, Russell and Dr. J... the greatest of all time is Deron Williams! Sell the Air Jordans, stop being Witnesses and give away your Converse Weapons (the Black Larry Bird ones... of course) and cop a pair of the soon-to-be-released Air Williams.... Why?
Because Deron Williams owns the 2007-08 NBA MVP Chris Paul!
Seriously, do you remember a future MVP being so thoroughly dominated/owned/controlled by one dude?
Last night the the Utah Jazz travelled to New Orleans and blasted the Hornets 77-66. The "MVP" Chris Paul was a complete no show with 4 points and 9 assists in 33 minutes (he watched most of the fourth quarter from the bench as the Hornets were trying to rally from a late 18-point deficit). But this shouldn't really surprise anyone as CP3 has always had trouble against the Utah Jazz and especially Deron Williams.
Just look at the numbers:
In the four meetings (which the Jazz won 3-1), Paul averaged 12.3 points, 9.3 assists and shot an alarming 30.6% from the field compared to his season averages of 21.5 points, 11.5 assists and 49.1%. Against New Orleans Williams averaged 16.8 points, 11.0 assists and shot 57.4% compared to 19.2 points, 10.5 assists and 51.2% for the season. Based on stats and results Williams clearly wins the head-to-head match-up for 2007-08. And unlike the last two seasons where the Jazz were obviously the better team, Paul's Hornets have the best record in the Western Conference so there's no excuse (BTW - Williams career NBA record against Paul is 8-2).
So what's my point?
Can you even imagine likes of Kobe, KG or LeBron being so dominated/owned/controlled by another single player? The answer is plain and simple... HELL NO! They're too competitive to allow it to happen. But what about Chris Paul?
EXACTLY!
MVP my ass.
