Definitely a maestro the point god & cp3 fake pass move is 1 of the greatest moves ever & his IQ is mastercall arguably top 3 passer of all time a master of the offense & pick & roll
He’s actually been the most entertaining player in the NBA the past 10 years. Not Curry. Not Giannis. Not Luka. Not LeBron. He’s also been the most efficient.

Personally ranking them, I would reluctantly place Phoenix and OKC Chris Paul at the bottom. The value, leadership and IQ of this version of CP3 is insane, but the scoring rate simply is too low to this version of his game higher than any if the others. Houston Chris Paul is severely underrated and as you can see in this video, if not for poorly timed injury he would be an NBA champion. A slightly more energetic and healthy version of Houston CP3 is Clippers CP3. I think the Clippers version of Chris Paul is what most people see when they picture a prime Chris Paul. He had many of his greatest moments and title expectations on that team. I just can’t put Hornets CP anywhere but number one. Second in MVP voting in 2008, I believe, coming up second to Kobe Bryant. There’s no shame to that. That’s a MUCH faster and more athletic young man compared to the veteran we see in Phoenix. That’s where people started calling him the point god and his stats peaked there. From the few small parts of Hornets footage in this video, they’re simply the best. He was street-ball mode every game and there was few more fun to watch.
