Fans and critics are going too far in questioning Suns guard Chris Paul's place among the game's greats.
. He might have some other high-profile fizzles on his resume. And he might be an easy target for criticism because he’s so gosh-darn perfect.
He’s been All-NBA 10 times, a number that should rise when this year’s selections are announced, and again, every player ahead of him on the list is taller, according to statistics on Basketball-Reference.com.He’s third on the all-time assists list, behind only Jason Kidd and John Stockton. It doesn’t erase the compound chagrin that stems from the stumbles in the 2021 NBA Finals when Paul wasn’t able to lift the Suns past a hard-charging Bucks squad.
To sum it up, Paul has done everything right in his career, even if he’s struggled in some big moments.Who could forget last season’s run as Close-Out Chris? He had 12 assists without a turnover in eliminating LeBron and the Lakers. He went for 37 to get rid of the Nuggets. And he frustrated Patrick Beverly into a meltdown, scoring 41 points with eight assists to get rid of the Clippers.
