Who You Takin in His Prime? Gary Payton or Chris Paul?

[Archangel]

But if I need to win playoff games or a clutch stop on defense, gimme Payton.

GP

Gon take Paul
Even if he has not gotten past Rd 2

 

[Emoryal]

CP3 better

 

[South Paw]

surprised this is even a question

 

[#StarkSet]

Gp all day


@The Taxman loves cp3 patented ball tap

 

[Illuminatos]

Much better guards in the league

CP3's defense has severely fallen off.

CP3 wouldnt survive in the 1990s, i know thats cliche to say, but he's too soft.. (LeBron as well)

Oakley or Mahorn would have viciously elbowed him in the throat just one time, forcing him
to retire the next year and launch a local AAU program.

 

[feelosofer]

Payton isn't quite as efficient, but he was an elite defender at his position.

john stockton shyts on both these dudes so it really doesn't matter and yes i could post stats to back it up

The thread aint about John Stockton though is it

I could see GP taking him in the post like prime D-Will and Andre Miller used to but CP3 will still get his. This isn't about H2H matchups or 1-on-1 regardless.

CP3 is a more accomplished player individually and has had games GP could only dream of having. GP ain't taking them sorry Hornets teams to 50+ wins. He's not as impactful or skilled as CP3.

Ball handling, jump shooting, court vision, basketball I.Q., athleticism Payton is not seeing CP3.

shyt posting. You talk about cp3 leading those hornets teams. Where the fukk did he lead them? Why can't he lead this much more talented Clippers team to the conference finals at least? You talk about how much he's accomplished as a player while bragging on him leading teams to 50 win seasons If Paul's career was to end right now he's be seen as an underachiever.

Where would GP lead these Clippers teams no farther than Paul could

I think that they'd be better with gp.

I'm an old head and I choose punk CP. He does everything better than GP except defend one on one. With that said, I'd rather PLAY with GP and have him as my PG on my team.
