Yeah I just want to point out, CP3 is a very good defender, you obviously haven't watched him much.

CP3 is a terrible defender and he's out there all the time

I haven't seen many games that he has played in, but I do know that he has more steals than anyone else. So he must not be to bad or he gambles for steals to often and lets them run right by him.

Which is it?

He gambles a lot; like Larry Hughes back in Washington. He's got really quick hands so that any pass going to the PG (happens a lot) is likely to be picked. His help defense is ok, but his man-to-man defense is poor.

I love CP3. He's got my early vote for MVP, so I'm not hating. He's just not great on the defensive end, ala Nash.
