I've never quite seen a guard throw his body into the defense to draw fouls like he did last night.  Very annoying.
You didn't watch Allen Iverson much during his Philly days did you?

Very similar to Chris Paul in how they will dribble the ball forever. Paul is much better at passing off his penetration and running the break. Add to that fact he is a superior shooter to Allen and you that is why Chris Paul is on his way to being an all time great.

Iverson will be considered an all time great by many, but not by me. To think they were trying to get Al Jefferson for him....

Chauncy Billups does this as well.  He did it to Posey in the ECF last season and got the call. :-\

Here's a clip of CP3 punching Julius Hodge in the...  uhm...  "wedding vegetables."

(sorry, I've been watching too much Top Gear)






I don't understand why this didn't get the attention it deserved.  Probably because people didn't realize how good he was going to be and the media loves bringing down the best players whenever possible.


He really is a dirty player.  He is not the great guy that the NBA has tried to make him out to be. 
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."
