How good would Chris Paul + Lebron be?

Not as good as Kobe+Duncan.

Great passer + Best finisher of all time = incredible combo

And how do you know LeBron doesnt do well off the ball? He's never had to play off the ball in his life, so to say he cant isnt true.

If you put LeBron on the Hornets, the Hornets would win the finals and if you put Paul on the Cavs, the Cavs would win the finals...I'm confident about that.

If you put a legit all star on the Cavs to be LeBron's running mate, the Cavs would win the finals. The Cavs have some good role players, but without that second star, its hard for them to beat elite teams with consistency. Paul would solve that. He can break people down off the dribble and he can pass...two things that no one on the Cavs can do outside of LeBron.

This would go down as one of the greatest duos of all time. They'd be like a Stockton and Malone, only with more athleticism and scoring ability.

How did Michael Jordan get into this conversation?

Hard to argue against the G.O.A.T., but he was most often an initiator as well as a finisher. The best pure finisher, imo, was James Worthy. Of course, he was in the receiving end of passes from Magic, but I've never seen anyone finish in close like Worthy.

They sure would put the ball in the hoop a lot, and they'd help each other out to put the ball in the hoop too.

That's just good karma.

LeBron already played with Paul and Kidd - on Team USA this summer. LeBron led the team in assists and was asked to run the offense much of the time. The more LeBron ran the offense, the better Team USA did.

I'm not sure about the NBA but Paul + Lebron was pretty good in the McDonald's All-American game.

If these two played together, there would be a lot of this going on..

Lebron?

Excellent finisher, but not the BFOAT.
