Chris Paul is the best point guard in the NBA

Thank you Magic123 for your rebuttals. I will post mine now." Playing with Durant does not take away from Westbrook, if anything it helps him. Durant was the best scorer in the league, this means Westbrook should have had a lot of easy assists. He only averaged 6.9."My opponent is wrong. By playing along Durant, Westbrook handles the ball less. if he played on a team like Paul's, he would average more assists, points, and rebounds, since he would handle the ball more. Even though he plays with Kevin Durant, he still averages more points and rebounds, which are more important to the game, rebounds help your team have possesion of the ball, points help score for your team. Assists just mean you passed the ball for a shot. Assisted shots do not matter more than unassisted shots."As I stated earlier this should only help his assists."As I said above, no it should not, as Westbrook receives the ball less since he plays alongside Kevin Durant."In basketball defenses focus in on the best player on the opposing team. With teams constantly paying attention to Durant that frees up Westbrook to play more 1 0n 1. The only thing that would make sense about your arguement is if Durant took a significant amount of shots away from Westbrook. Last tear he still shot 17.2 shots per game. Durant shot only 3.6 more shots than Westbrook at 20.8. If Chris Paul shot 17.2 times per game he would be on track to score about 22 points per game, about equal to Westbrook's 21.8."You have proved my point that playing alongside Durant helps minimize Westbrook's stats. Also, your point stating that if Paul shot 17.2 shots per game is unsourced, which means that it is not a valid point."Paul not only is better than Westbrook in 2 categories but he leads the league in 2 categories, assists and steals, arguably the most important categories for point guards. I already showed that Westbrook scores more, but also shoots more with lower field goal percentages. He makes more free throws but shoots a lower percentage."While Paul does have more assists and steals, Westbrook has more Points and rebounds, which are categories that help the team more than steals and assists. Steals may not always lead to baskets, and assists are just passes on a shot. Rebounds are similar to steals in that they win you possesion and may not always lead to baskets, but points are what help your team win games, so leading in points and rebounds is bigger than leading in assists and steals."So if people want to vote for Westbrook because he averages 1.4 more rebounds than Paul then go right ahead."Rebounds is a key category, and more key than assists and steals, which I pointed out above."Paul has not played his best in the playoffs, but this year was messed up because of the Sterling scandal."My opponent conceeds that Paul does not do good in the playoffs."Last year in the playoofs Westbrook's field goal percentage went down to 42%. His 3 point percentage went down to 28%. So he basically just shot more in the playoffs but his percentages went down. Also his turnovers went up to 4.4"But as I showed above, Westbrook averages more points, rebounds, and is better at controlling his temper.Thank you Magic123 for what has so far been a very fun and enjoyable debate.
