Answer the Q, and explain.. There's also a poll..

No, he will never surpass Kobe Bryant as The Greatest of All Time.

It's hard to compare. Kobe is a SG Paul a PG.

I'm not comparing them as a player comparison. I'm talking about careers, anybody's career can be compared to any position of another player.

It's too early. I think Kobe will have more championships, stats you can't really compare because they play different positions.

I mean are you waiting for someone to say Paul? Haven't you historically been against Kobe in your posts?

With LeBron, Dwight, and Oden in the league its impossible to tell if Paul will be able to win 3+ championships

You've been here 3 weeks and you're digging up false information. Have I been against Kobe? You don't know anything about me... Kobe Bryant is my favorite player.

I don't see Paul winning any championships without a dominant big man and since Paul will have his team always in the playoffs or near the playoffs they really have no chance for drafting a very good big man or someone with enough value to trade for a quality big man unless they get real lucky as some managers have managed to find gems in late first round picks or even 2nd round picks.

He's too good not to at least make it to the finals a couple of times. And its all about how he performs in the playoffs. He could become the T-Mac of point guards. Who knows until he actually plays a playoff game?

Wow, this isn't premature.

You sure you're not talking about Kobe? :lol:

Absolutely yes Paul will have a better career then Kobe. 3 years into his career and it is easy to say that it is guaranteed.

I think he was being sarcastic.

Very tough to say - both will be one of the greatest ever at their position, but neither will reach MJ/Wilt/Magic level. It'll probably depend on who wins more rings. Kobe already has 3, and could easily end up with somewhere in the vicinity of 5-6 if he's lucky, so Paul is gonna have his work cut out for him. If I was betting on it, I'd say no, Paul will not have as good a career as Kobe.

I was in fact being so sarcastic that there was no need for the greenz.

Everyone here knows I hate Chris Paul more then anything in the world.

Posted: **Wed Apr 9, 2008 7:43 am**

It depends on what you say. It is like asking who had the better career Drexler or Stockton. I would pick Drexler (Kobe) over Stockton (Paul).

Plus if Kobe Shaun Livingston'd himself today he would still be one of the 100 best of all-time. Same cannot be said about Paul. Paul is fighting an up-hill battle, considering we would assume Kobe will get one of the next 4 NBA Championships unless he is a complete failure.

I say no. Just too much uncertainty to answer this question with any answer but a no.

Does that make you a premature conversator?
