Chris Paul and his New Orleans Hornets are playing tonight at 8 o'clock. Now I'm an avid sports fan so it is understandable why I would be interested in the NBA playoffs, that's a given. Chris Paul is bigger than the playoffs though; Chris Paul is bigger than the NBA and no one even knows about it.
He's not like Lebron or Kobe or T-Mac, his body didn't predestine him for greatness. In fact, he kind of looks like an average guy who might be a good addition to your intramural squad or something. CP3 dominates a game from the point guard spot like Tommy Pickles dominated the cast of Rugrats; he has that much swagger. He makes moves a few times a game that are the reason for which DVR and TiVo were created. Sometimes you don't even really know what happened until you see the replay. Even in slow motion it's like "what the hell just happened here?" The guy single handily ended Jason Kidd's career with his utter domination in the first round of this year's playoffs.
The fact that no one has watched the Hornets all year, combined with the fact he's not in every other commercial like Lebron and Kobe, probably hurt him when it came to the MVP trophy but it only helped his mystique. After the first two games of the Maverick's series the sports world let out a collective, "Good god. I didn't even know this was possible." The guy puts up stat lines that would seem unrealistic in a video game. He scores at will -- usually about every way possible. He makes high risk passes all night long. I mean his style is pure playground but somehow he never turns it over. All this is done with a suaveness I'm not sure I've ever seen. The guy has made 35 points and 12 assists the rule rather than the exception.
I'll be tuned in tonight and you should too.
