Too bad. You'll own it forever.

I don't really think it's that crazy at all...I'd take Durant but an argument for CP3 can be made.

[Brodeur]

It's between him and Durant, and I'd take Paul as of this moment. Don't see how it's crazy.

I used to hate him too, but I never really knew why. He seems like a bearable person and he isn't content with just doing the two things he's known for. He seems much improved.

[yo123]

Blake is a huge flopper and seems to pick a fight with someone in every game of his that I watch. Really don't like him either.

The Lopezs

[Rob S]

I'll take Durant 10 times out of 10 vs anyone but Lebron.

[TheBoyWonder22]

I'll put it this way, I find it easier to respect him now. He can be annoying, I think it's a result of him just being an intense guy.

[comahan]

Griffin's commercials are awesome, but he aggravates me as a player.

[BuckeyeDan17]

Stop wearing Jean shorts

[Rob S]

The commercials are great. If he begins a Peytonesque run of awesomeness I may have to reconsider my position.

[soybean]

I like his commercials because he's not acting, what you see is actually blake griffin.

I see that point of view, but you very well could make a case for Paul in all honesty. Durant, for as amazing as he is, isn't necessarily dominant at anything other than scoring. Although this year he's stepped up his rebounding and even his assists. Whether it continues like that I couldn't say, but Paul is so dynamic. He can score at will when he's not busy setting up his teammates with easy buckets. He's a solid/good defender who creates a ton of turnovers for the opposition. Despite his assist rate, he almost never turns the ball over - which is one thing people overlook.

Not to mention he's easily as clutch as Durant and has put teams on his back in the playoffs.

It's a tough choice. Honestly, if I'm starting a team I might take Paul simply because not only will he score and be extremely efficient in that manner, but he's going to make your entire team significantly better with his passing ability.

That said, I love me some KD.

You better believe I'm enjoying this. Because we all know damn well if we started the season losing all we'd hear is "lulz bbd the knix sux"

Eat it.

We're legit. We'll see you in the Eastern Conference Finals and take it from there.

Join us, we won't judge.

Give this man a cookie.

And this why Cuban and Stern set the Lakers back 2 years with their trade-blocking antics and will forever be on my **** list.

How unfair would it have been......Paul, Kobe, and Dwight on the same team? Because it was very close to happening.

I honestly think that if they got Paul When they were suppose to, it would have ruined the NBA for me for the most part with how much I hate the Heat. I like Paul, he's one of my favorite players but so was Wade before the big three. I really didn't want to hate both of them.

That trade was an absolute joke and everyone knew it.

The jury is still out on the Clippers deal for him. What are the odds that Aminu and Rivers will fill the talent differential and games missed between Gordon and Paul? Clips kinda raped them, too, just not as brutally. They'll have the thought of 'what they would be with Gordon healthy' at least. :shrug:

[Paul]

Looking back on old drafts, Boston did a hell of a job picking players in the 2000's. They once had Al Jeff, Rondo, Tony Allen on the same roster, along with Perkins, Gerald Green and Delonte West. Can't fault them for any moves they've made since they've won themselves a championship and been consistently one of the best teams in the East. But that was one hell of a young nucleus they had in 06.

[comahan]

Thank god that deal didnt happen. Houston would have taken Pau, signed Nene, kept Dragic, and tried to contend with that team, which wouldnt have ever done anything more than make the playoffs. Would have set the team back like 5 years.
