THIS IS WHY Chris Paul Is Called The “Point God”

The NBA has been around for 75 years and during that period of time thousands and thousands of

point

guards have come and gone, furthermore the

point

guard position has gone through numerous evolutions during that 75 year period, I mean it started with the traditional point guards who would facilitate the offense, then came point guards who had handles like we had never seen before and soon after came point guards who could explode like we had never seen before and then there were guards who could shoot from anywhere, albeit among the thousands. and thousands of point guards who have come and gone and through all the evolution

this

position has gone through, there remains one man who is redefining what it means to be a point guard in the modern era of the NBA, ladies and gentlemen, that's why he's

called

to Chris Paul.

The god of the point, according to official definitions, the point guard is also

called

one or the point has perhaps the most specialized role of any position. He is expected to direct the team's offense by controlling the ball and making sure it gets to the right player at the right time. At the right time in football terms, they are the quarterback and their primary job is to facilitate scoring by putting the team in the best position to score while controlling the pace of the game and understanding everything from the time remaining on the shot clock to the remaining timeouts. for both teams and the list goes on and on cp3 does all of

this

to perfection, I mean look at his latest stats from his 17th season so far for the 2022 season,

chris

paul

is averaging almost 15 points per game along with 11 assists, Also doing it efficiently, I mean, he's shooting the ball 48.7 percent from the field and he's only turning the ball over about 2.4 times per game, which is unheard of for a six-foot tall basketball player who He is about to turn 37 years old.

Now let's see how he is doing all this. Here is CP3 on the perimeter guarded by Cam Thomas, who is much younger and more athletic. Chris Paul knows that going one-on-one would reduce his efficiency, so he waits for Ayton to set a screen after Paul uses the screen and knows there will be a screen. small window of time where he can give it to Ayton and that's exactly what he does now, you have a six foot eleven center rolling to the rim and the person trying to protect him is a six foot three cam thomas, this is what what you would call a high shooting percentage a big part of who set up is next here is cp3 bringing the ball up the court as he does it you can see him gesturing to ayton to set a screen and that's to scramble the defense a little bit in semi-transition and look what an open free throw got him which is a high percentage winning shot in the first quarter

paul

when you hear people call

chris

paul a manipulator this is what they mean, chris paul manipulates the game completely to his advantage i mean here's what damian lillard said about the point god now it makes sense to me how chris paul has been so good for so long because all he does is manipulate everything to take advantage of something he saw and calls this play because he knows that this team is You're going to react like this, not just with your defense or offense, with the referees, with everything, once you start to figure out those things, the game becomes a lot easier and it seems a lot slower when you watch the teams and recognize their plays, actions and tendencies of the players.

Do the exact same things every game when you notice that it makes sense that Chris Paul could be his age and be a great point guard. It's funny that Dame Time mentioned the fact to the referees because it's true, I mean, look at this, Chris Paul. arguing with the referee while he dribbles like, come on, you must have seen Chris Paul arguing with the referee. Sheesh guys, he's setting the tone for reps while he dribbles. Chris Paul is a basketball genius who understands every rule in the rule book and more I mean listen to me on this one in 2019 when cp3 was still part of the okc thunder he used his knowledge of the game and did the impossible so they were left 1.1 seconds on the clock and Minnesota was up by two and Kat was on. the free throw line to shoot two well, he missed the first one and then Minnesota decided to substitute Jordan Bell for rebounding purposes just in case, when he entered the game, however, his jersey was unbuttoned now CP3 knew the Timberwolves already had a delay. of the game, so one second would count as a technical free throw, well, cp3 told the referees and according to the rule book, okc was awarded a technical free throw because of that, the game was eventually sent to overtime and the thunder won that game, guys, down. 2 with 1.1 seconds left in the quarter and Kat going to the line to shoot two free throws, any other point guard, any coach, any player in the league would have given up on that game and looked into the locker room, but the god He didn't point out and instead looked at Jordan Bell's unbuttoned jersey and saw a chance to win the game.

Oh my gosh, anyway, let's move on here, let's take a look at some more plays and how Chris Paul manipulates the game with his basketball IQ here. he's on the perimeter again trying to find the best possible shot for the possession. He sees a play develop as Biambo sets a screen for Booker to get open and Paul understands that it's a big open three for Booker who has been shooting over 40 this season and that's money, remember the definition of point guard? point guard that I talked about earlier when I said it's your job to get the ball to the person who is in the best position to score?

This cp3 guy does that all the way, let's take one more. look here, cp3 is bringing the ball here, he sees korgmas is defending him and he knows he's not an elite defender, so what is cp3 doing well? He first asks mcgee to put up a screen just to cause some confusion for the Corkmans. he does two dribbles to the right and stops in an instant and hits an open elbow jumper and cp3 shoots at about 60 percent while most of the players in the league play checkers this guy is playing chess and No one can blame him for it, I mean why?

Wouldn't you like to put your team in the best position to score every possession? Paul studies and trains very hard to maximize his chances of winning. Here's what Steph Curry, the greatest shooter in the history of the game, had to say about CP3 and how he helped him during his rookie year here in the league. He was a great mentor when it came to understanding how a kid at his level prepared over the summer for an NBA season. How disciplined he was, the work ethic of him and I got to see that firsthand after the summer. league until the beginning of the season, he showed firsthand what it takes to be great in this league and anyway, it was a little revelation to me, moving forward here, the truth is that the point is that God makes every team is better, I mean, in 2017 in the CP3 Western Conference Finals and the Rockets were up 3-2 against arguably the best team ever built in NBA history, the 2017 Golden State Warriors, if CP3 doesn't injured his hamstring, who knows how that series would have turned out later. one stop in houston in 2019 the point guard was sent to okc to a team that was rebuilding now when this trade happened everyone thought this was cp3's last stop in his nba journey to nurture youngsters and let to the NBA in a better situation, but instead, what did he do in an absolutely packed Western conference?

Paul led the rebuilding Okc to the fifth seat in the conference. This was a team that had no business even making the playoffs, but here they were right in the mix, but how did they do it right? manipulating the game as best he can to his advantage, these five changes and then that mid-range shot, this is one of God's essential points, anyway, after ok, look what cp3 did and continues to do in Phoenix before your arrival. The Suns missed the playoffs for 10 straight years, but after they arrived they reached the NBA Finals and were two wins away from giving Phoenix its first NBA championship.

CP3 is a winner in this league and is the best traditional point guard the league has. Seen in at least two decades, he may not have won a championship yet, but the way he impacts the game from an IQ standpoint and the way he makes his teammates better speaks volumes and, of all Anyway, he rightly deserves the nickname of point god, from one point guard to another, have you ever wondered why Stephen Curry is still so difficult to guard at almost 34 years old? I mean, he just lost 50 the other day in the all-star game and, my God, guys, this guy is taking great athletic players to school on a daily and I have the video here showing you how he's doing it.

It's a pretty crazy video guys and I'm sure you'll love it, don't waste your time, click on the video and you'll know where I'll be. Just across
