Great game but still a career choker. A couple games during the 1st round against a playin 10th seed doesn’t excuse a career of falling short (except when he was a pelican)
So overrated When they put him as a top 3 pg all time lol. First ballot hall of fame though. Maybe 8-10th greatest of all time pg. Which is legendary.

But I can’t believe everyone’s calling him a clutch player :lol:

Crazy. He has so much control and can get to his spot at anytime.

It's a team game, man. While he's had some performances that don't measure up to what one would expect from him given his rep... it's still a team game at the end.

Your disrespect is noted.

Yeah, but 3 turnovers? Is that a season high? He was averaging 1.2 turnovers a game through the first 5 games.

Need CP3's plant-based diet. No injuries and playing at a elite level in the last 3 seasons.

This performance will and should go down in history. Regardless of the fact that it was in the first round, it was an elimination game against a really good and really game Pelicans team.

Durcant fans can't even see a choker when they are right in front of their face. I hope you had fun getting swept. Rather watch the crappy Knicks than bandwagon the clown show in Brooklyn.

He's definitely had many clutch moments including in the playoffs, despite having a few letdowns as well.
I don't think there is a case that he is a "career choker" tbh, but I'd love to see you try to make it.

This is what a hater looks like ^. Guy goes out and has one of the best playoff performances in NBA history and this is what you say mins after. Couldn't even wait a few hours. So pathetic.

Booker is still injured, but in these playoffs there should be zero doubt that CP3 is far and away the best player on the Suns. He is their MVP.

Also, CP3 is NOT a career choker. He hasn't won a championship yet, but historically he is an excellent playoff performer.
