There was never an argument. Deron was only comparable when Paul gets hurt :dontknow:

So who is better? Do I just wear thick homer goggles?

Thanks.


Deron always outplays him head to head just like Yao does Dwight.



Are you saying Deron's better?

For me, a healthy Yao is better than Dwight, and not just head to head.


He clearly was taking a jab at the head to head not holding weight in who's really better. How can you even make an argument for Yao being a better player? Howard has already played more games despite starting later, his averages are better, and in his last few years he's been indisputably better than Yao ever was, except maybe Yao's 06-07 season, but he missed 36 games.

CP3 is the better player. The only thing Deron has on him is his crossover and his size advantage.

CP3 is better. But Williams wins the head-to-head matchup between them.

Deron always own CP3. But cp3 owns the rest of the league " better " . I still take Deron though.

Chris Paul puts up better stats and his team loses a lot more.

Book shut.

Deron has pretty much always had more talented teams. Including this year. Not a fair argument.
