His downfall was extremely quick. It’s like he went from star to benchwarmer in an instant. At least that Nets team was amazing in 2k

@@nononono12345 it absolutely matters. If u have the greatest player at his position ever and a top 10 all time talents u win. Parkers prescence wouldn't change that. U switch him with cp3 or rondo, etc, same results most likely. Either way, those guys rank higher all time than TP (not rondo) so how much do those rings really matter in the long run if u dont have the accolades outside of that to back u up?

@feeleffect 4 года назад

@lavonmclain5354 3 года назад

look at cp3 now .

@DNGR369 2 года назад

CP cares about every play and is a hype communicator. Basically invented the mid-range pull-up. Compared to a guy who doesn't really care or work out it's like night n day. Gotta make yourself better then your teammates. Paul knows this.

If someone told me in 2009 that LeBron and D Wil [along with JR Smith, RJ and Korver] would team up and make the 2017 Finals, I would’ve thought that was one of the most talented and well-rounded teams in NBA history. Crazy how fast some talents fall off.

As an Illinois fan, I watched all of Deron's college career in addition to his NBA career. The dude was a great leader, was clutch, was sneaky quick, and was exceptionally strong for a PG. He was also one of the smartest players I've ever seen in college. It appears that things got to his head and he had a furious temper. IMO, he was better than Chris Paul for the first few years of his career.
