Chris Paul is a sick sick man. He doesnt play in a mike d'antoni system like steve nash did, and he doesnt run a pick and roll offensive like jerry sloan does for deron williams. He is just a sick baller who cannot be stopped. Tonight against the 76ers, paul went for a cool 27/10/15/7 line. That's 3 steals short of the oh so rare quadruple double. If you thought a perfect game or an unassisted triple play is a rarity, consider that there have only been 4 such occurrences in the history of basketball. David Robinson and Hakeen Olajuwon stand out and only one occasion where steals was the 4th category. 10 steals is much harder to get than 10 blocks, but i predict Paul will one day to it. He did just set the record for most consecutive games with a steal so anything is possible.
When I heard the box score for Chris Paul in that game I thought the same thing you did, boy is he sick. I know Lebron is a better player, but after games like these, or even games where he as 10-15 assists, 20 + points, and a few steals, I think he is the best player in the game. He is defiantly the best point guard currently in the game!
