Where do you think CP3 ranks all time and why?

[ardee]

Working on my new GOAT list, and he is a very interesting player to evaluate.

On some level, I think he's the PG equivalent of LeBron/Karl Malone/Kareem almost.

INSANE longevity that he doesn't really get credit for. He led the league in assists 14 years apart (2008 and 2022). Can also be argued as a top 3 PG for that entire 15 year stretch (2010 and 2019 being blips due to injury).

He made visible and immediate impact on every team he joined while still a relevant player (Clippers, Rockets, OKC and the Suns).

Gets unfairly blamed for being a part of some Playoff upsets when his individual performance was still stellar (2015 and 2017 for instance).

Feel like he has to be a top 20 guy all-time. Can't imagine putting someone like Barkley over him for instance.

in the top 12-15 range of the 3point era for me

Behind Stockton; because of games missed

The thing is CP3 has missed to many post-seasons or partial post-seasons that it becomes a unique situation where his Longevity isn't quite upto the LeBron/Kareem/Malone's of the world.

That said...

-GOAT level Point Guard Peak right next to Magic/Curry/Oscar
-Incredible combination of scoring and playmaking, potentially matched only by Oscar in an all-time sense
-Positive Defensive Value for most of his Prime
-11 year stretch from 2008-2018 where he averaged 69 games/season [including a shortened 2012 season] posting 145 WS and 70 VORP and 19/4.4/10 with 2.3 steals to 2.4 turnovers

If Chris Paul had healthier post-seasons he is a Top 10 Lock for me. As it stands, I have him in as a borderline Top 20 guy.
