My fave argument. Much like the gold medal game–MANY of his teams games are only close because he is SO SHITTY defensively that you can’t hide him. He then makes a jumper, and he’s “clutch.” Most overrated player in the game.

He made the all-defensive 1st team last year. His height is obviously a disadvantage, but to say that his team can’t even hide him on defense is just asinine.

Haven’t seen his team’s record in close playoff games. Do you have those stats?

This John Schumann article did a nice job explaining why Paul’s teams have always done well in late game situations.

So, this means Chris Paul is clutch?

Don’t you know other words that can better describe what happened?

How about just “Chris Paul made a great shot because he is the best PG in the NBA.” I can’t stand the generalized, narrative-induced words like “clutch” and “closer.”

Made $97m in his career per basketball reference. Fleece money, fuck bitches.

To the tune of $25MM from the Knicks & Bulls from 04-06…
