The time is now for CP3 to win

Chris Paul is still a relatively young basketball player.  Since entering the NBA in 2005, Chris has been one of the best point guards in the league.  In only his third season in the league the feisty play maker led the New Orleans Hornets to a franchise record 56 wins. 

Chris is a unique athlete in today's day and age.  There's no spot on the court that Chris can't maneuver his way to to.  If scoring were his sole purpose, Chris would certainly be amongst the league leaders in the category.  Chris Paul's true gift is making his teammates around him better.  Blake Griffin is on his way to a hall of fame career.  DeAndre Jordan has shown drastic improvement this season.  The accelerated improvement of these two highflyers can be attributed to them playing along side Paul.  Tyson Chandler is most affective on offense rolling to the basket for the lob.  Prior to playing with Paul in New Orleans, Chandler was a confused individual on offense.

During his nine year career Chris Paul has never played a full 82 game season.  He's missed at least ten games in five of his nine seasons, including a stint on the injured list this season.  I'm not trying to write an early obituary here.  Chris is the best point guard in a league swarmed with players ready to dethrone the him.  Yet, the fact remains Chris is a small guy in a big mans game.  It's difficult enough maintaining health in this league much less trying to do so bouncing off men like a ping pong on a nightly basis. 

The time is now for Chris Paul to lead the Clippers to an NBA Championship.  As difficult as it may be to admit, the Los Angeles Clipper big men may have grown up before our eyes.  Spanking the Lakers by 50 has become rhetorical.  At the age of 28 Chris has a chance to retire one of the best point guard's in NBA history.  A ring is all that's missing from his list of achievements.  The West is going to be exciting this year.
