Shouldn’t we wait until they actually win first to have this discussion?

With that being said, I’d put him top 15 btw as I think he’s an overall better player compared to other GOATS based on the intangibles, which do matter even if others don’t think so.

Paul is already in the Top 40 so he's pushing inside the Top 30 with a strong shot at Top 25; I gotta really look at each guy how I have them, to be specific with it, but he'd be a Top 30 lock and possibly Top 25...

The thing to recognize with Paul is he was already Top 40 based on 15 years of work without a Finals appearance. As great as he's been most of the postseason, I think we all recognize this isn't the very best versions of Chris Paul; he's past his prime so elevating him upwards is only going to go so far...

I'm a staunch believer in that your legacy is mainly shaped by what you do within your prime, not before or after it. It's the reason why I don't gas "Kawhi winning" in SA, to have a relatable comp, because that Kawhi obviously wasn't the Kawhi he's become since...

But, while I believe in that, I'll also say that success outside your prime does have some impact. It is helping his overall legacy, he's still playing well beyond the level most guys at his age are---->I just feel that if he went on a title run when he was at the peak or prime of his powers, it would elevate him more...

So Top 30 lock, strong possibility at Top 25, and if he can continue this "reminiscent of prime" play going forward, he'll keep moving up...

The ship has probably sailed on him ever being a Top 20 lock or reaching Top 15. He's 16 years in...
