Why does CP3 continue to get a pass, but Melo gets fried on the regular?

Expectations, It's like a nikka in 5 years asking, "why nikkas shytting on Derrick Rose for not winning a chip but give a pass to Jeremy Lin? "

Nah.

Lin is an undrafted Asian pg from Harvard, that bounced around on a couple of teams, sent to the d-league a few times, only got time because the people in front of him were hurt.

Paul was highly celebrated in hs and college, drafted 4th overall.

Compared to Isaiah Thomas.

Paul is the consummate point guard. He is a mature leader, wise beyond his years. He can score and get into the paint and drop the catchable pass with the best of them. A 3 point marksman that will knock it down if given room. His foot quickness makes him a capable ball hawk on defense when he picks his man up. To lead the ACC in steals as a freshman tells you a little about his defensive ability. His character and heart on and off the court make him a GM's dream. Will have a chance to be a star in the league, and it will be his passion for the game that will keep him from falling off.

Best Case Scenario: Kevin Johnson
Worst Case Scenario: Tony Parker

Dynamic, Explosive, Electric, Dominantonly a few of the words used to describe Chris Paul's game. Paul is one of the better all-around PG prospects to come along in the past decade, and there isn't much about his game that isn't a strength.

Cp3 comes off as shifty to me. Like the kind if nikka that would punch you in the dikk when you ain't looking.
