WHAT A GAME
classic Peja, that's a heartbreaker right there lol
Chris Paul's mid range shot is so deadly, you know its going to go in 90% of the time.
Yes he had the best mid-range in the league this year taking it by shooting, 1.2 percent better than curry
+Josh Howatd but what about my homie Dirk Diggler?
+Josh Howatd W
Shrek The Ogre Yeah Westbrook now has the best mid range but Pauls was god mid range and better than currys
As much as I love Westbrook, Chris Paul is still shooting better mid-range than him and Curry, near 50%.
I remember watching this game live on TV and thinking this Hornets guard is probably the best player on the floor. Only CP's third year in the league at this point and he was light years ahead of almost every other PG except Nash. Incredible consistency.
I was marveling at what a good game this was, shocked I had never seen it before when I've always had NBA TV.
Then I noticed the year and date. February 6th, 2008.
My 21st birthday.
Nash and Paul are two of my favorite point guards, defiantly in top 10
Josh Bounty I think they are the best pure point guards of our
Generation. Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Tim Duncan, Shaq. My
Starting 5 for this generation
Nash was amazing back then. I can definitely tell that Steph Curry studied his game.
+Jay Sagét nash is steph curry's skills coach now too...
Peter Phinney Wow. Nash is lucky to get to work with Steph, and Steph is lucky he is getting trained by Nash.
+Jay Sagét Nash lucky?? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Except he didn't pick up Nash's distribution. He averages like 6 assists
Def studied that defense
back when steve nash was in his prime
+Kobe 530 Nash was an animal back in the day.
day before he turned 34. fuckin insane
and Chris paul
one of the greatest pg duels that I've ever seen wow.
Ball Is Life, this game has changed because now it's Westbrook vs Durant LeBron vs Curry miss the game the way it use to be what happened
Man I loved those old Nola jerseys
Two of the best point guards of this generation... Idc about rings or how flashy they were. What these two guys has on an offensive rating as well as defense is crazy.
ya for sure...
Nash wasn't the best defender, but he was indeed very elite offensively.
Defense and Nash don't go together.
cp3 defense is crazy but nash s defense is shit. you dont know shit about b ball
CP3 is not a good defender
Outplayed in playoff series by
- 2009 Billups
- 2012 Parker (bad Game 1 for both, then TP had 21-4-7 on 40% to CP3's 15-4-9 on 41% in the last 3 games
- 2014 Curry
- 2014 Westbrook
also lit up by 2008 Parker
2016 Lillard shot 18/30 (60%) when guarded by Paul
Search "Chris Paul's Overrated Defense" on youtube
Paul's defense is one of the last things to be argued in his favor as a player, on the contrary his incompetence on the defensive end should be one of the first points used against him
CP3 is great PG one of the best in the league without a doubt but Steve Nash is a legend-no debate.
Yogen Grg So is CP3
so CP3 is not a legend? He will be in Hall of Fame
I remember watching this game live. It was an awesome game. I felt that this game was a changing of the guard type of moment. Cp3 took the mantle of being the best pg in the league that day and kept it for a while. There were definitely some guys in the running (remember that cp3/dwill debate? lol) but cp3 was #1, imo.
***** curry/westbrook...
westbrook isn't as efficient but is so dominant in other areas that i think it would be fair to put him above cp3.
Curry... well, the accolades speak for themselves.
CP3's still really good, though. He just isn't the best anymore. That's fine... i have him in my top 3 and in my top 10 overall nba players.
***** They can't pass or maneuver like him, sure. They can't run the position like him.
They are more impactful players that dominate the game at this point better, though. Curry's elite skill (shooting) is all time level. Westbrook is probably the most dominant pg in terms of doing it all since the big O...
CP3 is solid at everything but is no longer as dominant as he once was. CP3 is a true pg. Curry and westbrook are scoring lead guards that play the position. I believe dominance should be a factor on what player is better. CP3 doesn't really dominate anymore. He's just all around solid and keeps things humming. he's the model of PG efficiency but used to dominate like what this video shows... he doesn't do that as consistently anymore. Curry/westbrook dominate much more regularly at this point.
If you're talking about skillset, cp3 has more boxes checked. Does he dominate w/ that skillset like westbrook/curry dominate w/ theirs? Not anymore, imo.
***** Sigh.
Ok, let me put it to you this way.
IMO, lebron james has the greatest skillset in the history of the game. He can do everything. He can shoot from deep, post up, shoot from midrange, dribble like a guard, pass, orchestrate an offense, drive etc. He can defend on the perimeter, the post, in transition, etc. He's one of the greatest athletes in NBA history. He came into the league w/ 4.4 speed & a 40 inch vert.
I wouldn't put him over MJ in an all time discussion bc mj was more dominant at what he did. He dominated the field better w/ his traits. Yeah, maybe mj couldn't shoot the 3 better or pass as well as lebron... did he dominate the field in a better fashion, though? I'd say yes. That's why i'd put him over lebron on my all time rankings.
I can EASILY say that mj was a less capable player in terms of skillset than lebron james. Does that make lebron the better player, though? Dominance plays a factor and always has.
If this were a convo between 08 cp3 and 15 westbrook/curry, i'd pick cp3 anyday. He had the whole package w/ dominance to boot in 08 as you can see by this vid. This is a convo between a less dominant version of cp3 though... a cp3 that is much easier to overwhelm. Sorry but... no. I wouldn't take cp3 right now over westbrook or curry for that reason.
I guess we can agree to disagree... We just have different criteria. It is what it is.
***** Cool.
KevinT Times have changed. Scoring guards are passing as point guards now as most are still able to run teams and pass. Check how many high level "true" pg's are left... there are like 4 of them. Chris paul, John Wall, Rondo and Rubio. Rubio & Rondo aren't elite so there are really only 2 elite pass 1st point guards right now (both are in my top 4, btw).
Westbrook and curry are pg's in this new age. They can facilitate but are also scoring mismatches. Yeah, they aren't as advanced as far as completely running teams but make up for it in other areas. That's why i think "dominance" should be a factor too but... yeah, others may not agree.
When Nash started to shoot instead of pass, you know the situation is pretty messed up. BTW, people always forget his 50/40/90
That classic Nash hesitation was deadly
I would be so pissed if I was Nash. His team wouldn't stop getting turnovers! That's why they lost, all of the hornets points where fast break points. Steve was just carrying the whole team.
If i had to create a team I would pick Paul over Nash. Paul is a better defender than Nash. However Nash was big time in crunch time. Just look at this video. Although he didn't have many game winners he made big shots when they needed it. Possessions where you are down 4 or 5 or you need a 3 to tie. He was a guy you can count on to make big shots.
He stepped up big in the playoffs against championship caliber teams like the lakers and Spurs. Paul on the other hand didn't except that one clutch shot over Tim Duncan. I know Paul had a weaker team in New Orleans but he can't make that excuse now with the clippers.
Thomas Le True
type in youtube "chris paul clutch shots and plays", the video is 21 minutes long, watch it and then say he isnt clutch. Also this season in Rockets he is as clutch as anybody in the league
W
When he was with the Clippers the Spurs were still better. Jordan and Griffin are overrated and either him or Griffin got hurt in the playoffs
Thomas Le you a lie Chris paul is super clutch
I always felt like cp3 was better w/NO. i think he gain to much weight / muscle he lost a lot of speed n quickness
+slimmee22
I think he is too selfless. He is a great shooter and off the dribble, just needs to use it!
+Timothy Ryan that's what Isiah Thomas said about him
He wasn't the same after the knee injury.
slimmee22 slimmee22 Uhh...no try age.
Of course he played better. I'm this game he was like 23-24 years old. And now he's 31.
His game has held up though but he's older now. No matter how hard you train at 30+ you'll never recreate what you did in your 20s
Yea you're forgetting he had a major knee injury. That's what sapped him of his quickness. He wore a knee brace his last year in NO.
2019 anyone?
so clutch, good old days
Man Phoenix offensively were a joy to watch, but defensively want to make you pull your hair out. Silly fouls, no effort, or just can't defend.
MrYoumitube 7 seconds or less exhausts you on defense. blame coaching
My fav 2 pg of all time
Turiaf has legit played for half the league surely. I watch these throwback videos and he always seem to show his face lol.
awesome duel!
why are these announcer sucking steve nash while chris paul was flat out dominating him lmfao.
Chris Paul had 42 points 9 assists 1 turnover EIGHT steals and 5 rebounds while steve nash had 32 points 12 assists 3 turnovers
also this game went to double overtime while chris paul was a +11 while on the court meanwhile steve nash was a -4
Steve Nash is still the better overall player
.
okay i have nash 32 all time and chris paul 39, doesn't change the fact that chris paul completely outplayed him but the announcers tried to make it seem like he wasn't
+Marvell Minor Nope CP3 can actually play defense
+Huge NBA Fan I would rather have Nash on my team
Battle of the PointGODS.
what an awesome game. stojakovic just heaved that up not even looking. ouch.
back when my boy cp3 had still some assassin in him
I need round 1 game 7 Clippers vs Warriors playoffs 2013/2014
the suns vs the hornets on RAPTORS TV that makes sense
That used to be the name for the NBA channel in Canada. Now it's NBA Canada.
,right
LMFAO. Peja hitting the game winner was so out of nowhere.
the play is called for him tho, and he got the ball,what would you expect, he don't take that shot.
Best PG's i've seen. Steve Nash,Jason Kidd, Allen Iverson, & John Stockton ( No Particular Order).
People forget how good peja was
hard to believe this was 11 years ago
Chris Paul and Steve Nash were the perfect point guards.
Stojakovic is clutch. Damn
HOLY SHIT. CRAZY THESE GUYS
Daamn, what an amazing game😱😍😍
wow what a game
Can you upload some 2009 playoff highlights?
2:37 Check out this possession though. The Suns were so fast.
THAT WAS GREAT
those were the days when you could watch a new orleans phoenix game and shit your pants
this is amazing game.
One does not simply pick pocket Steve Nash's passes multiple times.
Epic Battle!!!!
两个伟大的控卫，赏心悦目
Peđa Stojaković!
Chris....I...need...you....lil....boy
What a game
My two fav PGs :)
Cp3 pure point guard point god
Did nash just lick his hand twice in the first fastbreak?
dang...nash did so much this game...to lose at the buzzer is a heart breaker
+Nick Heffner you could also say that for cp3 if stojakovic didnt hit that shot
Who's better?
Amazing
That peja shot was a true dagger 😂 right over amare in his prime
I thought it is most of the best and exciting game I
Peja...
Chris Paul plays like a lagging character in black ops 3
Good game
wanna see this CP again
I'm sorry, but at 00:08 seconds in Nash shakes his man with the quickest in and out cross -left hand!?
To be honest who's gonna go down as the best between these 2?? It's tough in my opinion... #Dooleyduzzdis
Paul was like “cookies!!!!”
I miss steve 🙁
I miss this version of Chris paul
00:31 that lowkey looking like Brandon Armstrong...BdotAdot
hall of fame duel
I all time fav play maker, Steve Nash. Better charisma than CP3.
what year was this match??
07-08 season.
Peja Stojakovic!!!!
WOW!!
keep in mind cp3 was young here
paul's stealing was pretty clever, wasn't it
DAMNNN!!! what a fuckin game
peja plz
Honestly to me, Cp3 is as good as Steve Nash, and it's even argueable that CP3 is the better player. Career wise, of course it's Nash tho
Why does this video look like it's from the 1980s? It's only 2008. c'mon man.
wtf i am watching...too clutch
Epic duel, but peja got the last laugh
3
PEJA!
Peja for the win
Lmao. Typical Suns losing at the buzzer..
peja the goat
lol did tyson play
2
Fuckk nash was so good top 3 offensive pg of all time
+Luis Munoz greatest offensive pg of all time easily. Magic is he played in this era would be Hedo Turkoglu w/ better passing lol. Curry is not better, Nash ran a way better offence. Nash ran the greatest offence of all time, and many of the top 5 and 10. No one got more out of their teammates and he was crazy efficient from everywhere.
+Josh Pugsley please...
whatever man, Nash played with scrubs and turned them into all-stars, Curry plays on a top 3 most stacked team of all time and isn't primary ball-handler... no question why many of the greatest 3pt shooters ever are coming up in the same era... the rule changes were meant to create guys like Steph in case you weren't aware but Steve Nash is the goddamn blueprint and was robbed of min. 2 times by a terrible front office
Josh Pugsley Stoudemire, Marion, wasn't scrubs... Stop your bullshit He was All-Star before Nash got there playing with Stephon in which he average 19ppg then 21ppg. Amare was a Rookie of the year before Nash.. Nash is a Great player but don't fix your face to say Magic wouldn't be Magic in this Era.
son said magic would be hedo turkolu plz log off youtube
If only nash have better teamates
Chris will win a ring next year
+Emmanuel Wu lol
+Emmanuel Wu lol I DONT THINK SO!
We still have to wait lol.
I can't
his was better then Curry's because curry be shooting mostly threes
This right here is the difference between Nash and Paul. CP3 is a beast who can put up huge numbers but just can't push his team to the next level. Give Nash this New Orleans team with Peja, David West, and Chandler and I guarantee he takes this team deep into the playoffs.
Nash's team was way better, what are you talking about?
+ADAJ3 I said Nash could have taken the New Orleans team further than CP3.
+LittleVillage24 Only because he would've been seeded higher thus avoiding Spurs or Other Super powers.
+LittleVillage24 You really think Nash could beat the defending champion Spurs in '08 with this team or the '09 Nuggets with Chauncey, JR Smith, Melo, NeNe, and K-Mart, and birdman? These Hornets teams had no bench at all.
Who's the better passer?
Nash had 10 TO and Paul 1! Just saying!
He had 3 dumb ass
Lauro Kenji Oshiro Nash is not harden, the all time worst turnover machine. Just saying
99 Westbrook is right there with harden too
nash had 2mvp and Paul got what? 0? lols
im sorry but i think Prime Cp3 is better than Prime nash
You need to wake up bruh lol I don't think so
Marvell Minor nothin nash did was better than cp3 ever in his career
+mattfenton36 he passed better he made his whole team better & he was a better shooter
Marvell Minor better shooter thats it cp3 is a better passer scorer and player. nash had nothing on d while cp3 at 31 is still one of the best defenders
+mattfenton36 how can you say he's a better passer when Nash is in the top 3 best passers of all time
Nash always loses in double ot
steve nash has no defence
