Johnson revitalized the NBA with the high-octane flashy offense of the Showtime Lakers and had one of the greatest sports rivalries in league history with Larry Bird.Even ignoring Magic Oscar Robertson averaged a triple-double in a single season and John Stockton leads all NBA players in assists by a ludicrous margin. Gary Payton came as close as any individual player had to stopping Michael Jordan in the 1996 NBA Finals and even Steve Nash has led some of the greatest offenses in NBA history.So how could anyone assert that Chris Paul a point guard who has never been to an NBA Finals and has never won an MVP is the greatest point guard in NBA history?Among basketball analysts who are fans of newer forms of statistical analysis beyond the traditional box score there are those who believe that bold statement about Paul. Tom Haberstroh an ESPN insider who handles those newer advanced statistics such as Player Efficiency Rating (PER) and Win Shares has observed that Pauls numbers are higher overall than Magics. For example Pauls career average PER 25.59 is the 6th highest in NBA history and surpasses Magics average of 24.11. He has accumulated 115 Win Shares over his first nine seasons while Magic had only 104 in his first nine.Did you enjoy this excerpt?
