Since you give me the opportunity, let me say that as well as John Wall was playing 10 games ago -- at which point he was having a career year -- he is playing even better since then.
On the season, & keeping it to guys who've played 1000+ minutes so far, I'd say the only PGs having better years than John are Chris Paul, James Harden, Kyle Lowry, Russell Westbrook & Steph Curry. If you want to count the Greek Freak as a PG, he'd have to be on the list as well.
If you don't like that list, Commander, nothing to be done for you, sorry.
Hmm not buying it. Kyle Lowry will have to see John and if Beal is healthy we will see how those guards do against our guard. Paul and Steph are both having down years...while JWs stock is rising...steadily. Did you go to the AllStar vote and Pay it forward...and vote for JW and Beal?
Well, you are certainly consistent no question about that. Consistently wrong (not to mention insulting, but twerps like you aren't worth responding to on that issue).
The idea that Chris Paul is having "a down year" is particularly ludicrous! This is a guy who will likely go down in history as the best point guard ever to play the game, and he is having literally the best year of his career. Shows how much you know, huh?
Curry is down it's true -- he's better than John, obviously, but not playing at the level of the last couple of years. Who knows? He could get worse and worse until he's awful, and that would prove how great John Wall is, right?
What I don't understand is why it isn't enough for John Wall to be having a career year, for him to be the terrific player he is. I don't understand why that isn't good enough, why it's necessary to ding some other player to make John look good. Because, you know, it doesn't. And he doesn't need it.
As to whom I vote for in the All Star game, what business is that of yours? I don't need to prove my fan creds to you. I'm sure I've been an NBA fan longer than you have, and I'd be surprised if you've been a Bullets/Wizards fan as long as I have for that matter.
Tell you what, since you like telling me what my handle says I should be doing, why don't you change yours from CobraCommander to Corporal Garter Snake -- just to get your name a little closer to your place in the scheme of things.
Oh gosh... I guess I did respond to the insulting part. Go eat a mouse.
Im used to the hate...it comes with being the leader of a world wide criminal organization....but either way...im not even sure what we are debating anymore...considering your initial points were pertaining to people having better years than Wall and I was saying most of those guys are NOT having better years than his. I know all of the guys on your list of players that you named are amazing point guards (except for Rubio). I am simply saying on the John Wall Appreication thread that I would take Wall over every other point guard on earth...except for Westbrook and Curry. And I wouldn't take Paul because of his age and his penchant for punching/touching oppents nuts.
