Who’s Better?


Chris Paul or Deron Williams? The debate rages on, and will probably never stop.

Deron is less injury prone so he wins. Their skills are pretty similar.

ER says:
CP3 is better, period. he will prove that tonight and i will be there to witness.

Myles is talented.

CP3 for sure…dude can straight up ball.

Gumdrop says:
I love these debates, they’re so impassioned and useless.

Nov.23 at 4:26 pm

Gumdrop says:
…and I’m taking Paul.

Nov.23 at 4:28 pm

DG says:
Both are tight and should make the it to All Star Game.

Nov.23 at 4:44 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Deron Williams could eat Chris Paul.

Nov.23 at 4:44 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Also, I’m biased towards point guards who can post up.

Nov.23 at 4:55 pm

Bryant Reeves says:
CP3, but not by much

Slick Nick Da Ruler says:
Deron, especially when Stock gives Deron his old shorts. Basically an inverse Apollo Creed/Rocky Balboa relationship, and all that Jazz.

Nov.23 at 5:19 pm

nothin personal says:
This is kind of unfair, in that pick and roll, Deron will be averaging 224 assists per before long, so there will always be the stats bias, and is not like CP is Magic or something.

Nov.23 at 6:01 pm

CoolWhip11 says:
Deron Williams plays point for the Jazz?
I thought that was Khalid El-Amin. CP is to basketball as Deron is to donuts.
CP is to Steve Nash as Deron is to Antoine Walker (OK, that’s a low-blow).

Kareem says:
CP3 kills d-will eazily, plus d-will is way too chubby.

Nov.23 at 6:36 pm

Jukai says:
CP3 tends to crumble during a physical game. Williams, while he doesn’t have as many flashes of GREATNESS, is far more consistent. So I’m going with Deron.

Nov.23 at 6:48 pm

A Pimp Named Slickback says:
deron

vicente 5'7 20inch vert says:
cp3 dw is gud but look at his team and cp3s team cant compare jv and varsity

Nov.23 at 7:59 pm

Kevin says:
i agree with the loose consensus that Chris Paul is more talented but Deron Williams is more productive consistently.. if Chris Paul were 20 pounds stronger and also 6′3, he’d be one of the top young players in the NBA though.. shame, though his heart makes up for a lot of his small stature..

Nov.23 at 9:47 pm

Russ Bengtson says:
Uh, Deron is not “chubby.” Have you seen him in the locker room? No? I have. Dude’s built like a brick sh*thouse.

Nov.23 at 10:07 pm

gdongdon says:
It’s really not as close as people make it seem. The only thing Paul has over Deron is PERHAPS the open floor - or maybe that’s just cause he looks faster with the slimmer build… But no, Deron without a doubt. (btw, slightly irrelevant, but can you imagine those two playing 1 on 1? Deron will murder that boy)

John E. Sanford says:
I’d take The Ice Pick in this one. He is a more consistent shooter than Chris Paul. Plus dude just wins.

Nov.23 at 11:21 pm

Walter Olivera says:
I PICK………the “Icepick” because he actually went to the playoffs and he is way healthier than CP3, plus he is a better scorer and he plays big against big stars, like destroyng baron davis last year in the playoffs.

Nov.24 at 1:09 am

Ben Osborne says:
Build/durability make Deron the pick for me, though I think CP is the more skilled player.

Nov.24 at 1:23 am

Zion says:
deron

Nov.24 at 3:12 am

P-MAC says:
CP3 is a all-star to be and raw, but ima have to take deron right now because he proved himself in the playoffs and he shoots the hell out of the ball and runs a good playoff team but look for CP3 to get better and better in the future and take the crown, so today Deron Williams but tommorow CP3 ya dig?

Nov.24 at 7:09 am

Mike says:
CP3!

Nov.24 at 10:21 am

Agent Zero says:
Dirkules Dirkules Dirkules Dirkules Dirkules Dirkules Dirkules Dirkules, else CP3

Holiday says:
Well we seen which guard got the blowout win, second in assists last season, legit scorer oh and much respect to Mr. Paul but add like 20 pounds and he slows down big time and of course playing under Sloan dosen’t help with flash and all that! Deron all day!!!!

Nov.24 at 4:39 pm

Holiday says:
CP3 may look better doing it but when it comes down to it Deron will always be the smart choice, hence the WCF apperance last season!

Nov.24 at 8:20 pm

LG says:
Deron’s better cause he usally wins but CP3 is a far better passer

Nov.25 at 9:49 am

Mat says:
CP3 is better, Deron has better players around him to help but overall CP3 is the man

Nov.25 at 2:44 pm

Co Co says:
Marvin Williams is better than both of them. That’s what Billy Knight told us.

Nov.25 at 3:19 pm

RedRum says:
Deron. He plays manic D. He can post up. CP can’t do neither.

Nov.25 at 6:03 pm

Zach F. says:
im takn cp3 make these two switch teams and deron wouldn’t be avraging as many assists but cp wouldn’t be as flashy the diff deron is bigger and can take you down low cp3 is more athletic and postered d howard both amazing players with great skills cp3 is just my prefrence (even though he bagtagged my boy julius hodge in college in the acc tourny) go NCST

Nov.25 at 8:06 pm

Rich says:
Russ, i know what you mean but I’m sure CP3 would be pretty hard to contain if he got in a fight. It’s true, this debate will never stop and rightfully so. Just imagine a few years ago people were wondering whether or not Deron or Dee “No Shot Having/Unoriginal Named” Brown was a better player…Ummm, wasn’t that a stretch! Yeah, Will’s got the whole package it seems and we can say that he is a bi-product of the Utah system but you gotta see this guy for his skills too. CP3 is “undersized” and “unable to shoot the ball” but despite these “facts” that the experts give out, you gotta love the dude’s drive in more ways than one. We all know Deron always feels disrespected and plays well as a result, just hope he stays that way, I think he will. Chris seems to be motivated, period, when he’s on the court, it’s big business, even for a dude with a little frame, he got big game, word.

Jess says:
Deron=consistancy and talented point-guard on a playoff team. I like what CP3 does for the Hornets but Im going with Deron

Nov.26 at 1:07 pm

Dylan says:
GO DEMON DEACONS!!!!! Chris “Super-rookie” Paul any day of the week. I’m a Wake Forest fan and i hate Deron Williams.

Nov.26 at 1:13 pm

DDB says:
Deron Williams…not even close

Nov.26 at 1:19 pm

riggs says:
not even close, deron williams. just on basketball IQ and consistency he blows CP3 out of the equator.

Nov.26 at 2:06 pm

drew says:
cp3

Nov.27 at 4:35 pm

O-man says:
It’s just like C3PO and R2D2. One is shiny, talks a lot and keeps falling apart. The other is stronger and gets the job done. Deron is the second coming of John Bagley, And I mean that in the best possible and much improved athletic way - and with game.
