CP3 on John Stockton

[Harambe]

I never liked Chris Paul, but I took the stat keeping comment as a joke. People on this board are nuts.

Did you miss the part where he plays for Houston?

Yeah, like he's in total awe. But that would be way more boring than discussing if Chrissy hates white ballers.

I think it came from straightlines mind. Probably because cp3 is in 8th place meaning 7 guys have more assists than him but he only questions the accuracy of the stats of one of those 7 guys and that guy happens to be white.
He could have questioned the accuracy of statistics during that entire era rather the accuracy of the statistics for one individual player.
Or he could have questioned the accuracy of the stats recorded for magic Johnson for example.

I know that there is a perception that white guys are not as good at basketball as black guys (for good reason since it's true) and maybe it hurts a guys pride more to be beaten by a white guy.

John is extremely separated from the rest of the assist leaders by sheer totals. I took it as an off the cuff — “he’s so far in front of everyone” comment. I didn’t really see a race thing at all...

To catch Stockton somebody needs to take care of their body like Stockton did and play as long as he did. One thing is average number of assists but the other thing is games played. None of these sissies now can stay on the floor long enough to catch John. Paul already missed 160 games ( X 9.7 ast. average would give him 1552 assists to move him into 3d place all time just behind J.Kidd) more than Stockton and for sure he is not playing until he is 40. So he needs to shut his stupid mouth, do some math and understand the real reasons why he will never catch up John.

I agree. People see things in different ways though. I was just answering your question.

For as much as CP3 whines, it's hard to differentiate between him making a joke and taking a shot.

I personally thought he took a subtle shot at the legitimacy of Stockton's accomplishments. If he would have said the exact same thing about Magic, I guarantee it would be a conversation somewhere.

No one will catch him. It's a different game now.

Clearly a joke, nothing to see here.

Still a turd though.

CP's missed more games just this season than Stockton missed in his 19 year career.

Oops, not Vince. Just Dirk.

What if he was talking about his interest levels in terms of a graph? Then you’d be wrong. And assuming.

 

[The mailman]

The fact that Stock and Malone are #3 and #5 all time is simply incredible. And the only records in the NBA that I would bet on never being broken are Stockton’s assist record, and the Celtics string of championships. Also, **** Chris Paul.
