So here's a player that can shoot the midrange, shoot the 3, doesn't turn the ball over, is an elite defender, arguably the GOAT ballhandler, one of the greatest passers in NBA history & leads his team to the Playoffs every season.

Yeah, he's overrated by stat nerds & isn't actually any good.

Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook and John Wall have consistently been better players than CP0 for years. Some might not prefer Westbrook and that's understandable, but to me he has a playstyle more conducive to winning than CP.

The way people complain about Chris Paul you would swear he had 4 MVPs. "So overrated, people think he's very good but in reality he is just really good."

Analytics puts him on the same level as Jordan Lebron and Kareem
