Better Career so Far, Dwight or Chris Paul?

[K-ZOE]

It's a push until you factor in that Dwight has led a team to the finals.

Once again, somebody has asked question without defining a key term. What constitutes having a better career? For most people, having a successful career means making money. So I would go with the dude who has more money.

Who the fukk is talking about money?

People forget Dwight dropped 40/20 in a ECF series clincher, Lebron played outta his mind in that series and the Cavs still lost.

Cortney Lee makes a layup and Dwight might have a ring.

Me :JJ:

I changed my mind. Dwight's had less serious injuries. I'll go with him.

I'm changing my mind again. He may never fully recover from his back injury. Cp3 is still putting up his numbers despite his issues a while back.

Dwight. Holla at me when Chris Paul goes to a Conference Finals

 

[Goatpoacher]

Even better question: Who had the better career as a Laker :JJ:

Dwights performance in the Finals was a far cry from offensive dominance that he displayed against the brigage in the ECF. Lakers had too much length (ll) for him. Also lets not forget that the entire Magic team (including Dwight) played out of their mind in the CF. They wouldnt' have even been there if KG was healthy though.

That's true, but that's not what the question asked. Its not who faced tougher competition or who is the better player. Its who had the better career and right now its Dwight.

Less competition makes for an easier career. Both individually and team by spending most of it in the east. PG is the deepest position you got to really be on your shyt to get individual accolades.
It's really dumb to straight up compare them since they play different positions and majority of their careers in opposing conferences.

if cournety makes a layup and jameer nelson understands how to foul fisher in game 4 orlando is up 3-1 going into game 5. If they lose game 5 they lose the series

Dwight took his team to the Finals in 2009. Granted, it was an extremely weak East outside of Boston (injured KG) and Cleveland,

WEAK EAST

he played & beat both
BOS won 62 games (3rd best record in NBA) & CLE won 66 games (overall best record in NBA)
his journey to the finals was twice as hard as the lakers

 

[Easy-E]

Chris.
More competition at pg than center.

I wanna agree; and CP3 was a win away from '08 MVP

But, Dwight did get to the Finals...but, that was alot of 3 pointers and SVG coaching

Aw man, I wanna say Chris, but, I voted for Dwight

It's actually close

I woulda voted for CP if he was a Pelicans

Boston was missing KG and still took them to 7. They likely sweep them with KG...like they did the next season. The entire team played out of their minds agaisnt against Cleveland and there were a matchup nightmare. There is no way that team could even think of making it out of the west that year.
