NBA’s 50 Greatest Players

Nice post. And I fully believe Paul is a Top 50 player and was shocked at players like Steph and Ray Allen making the Top 50 over CP3. But it was obvious they focused on scoring and such as opposed to PER and assists/steals for a guard.

There's a reason so many guys wanna play with Chris.

Seems like that list was more focused on RINGZ!1! and popularity more than anything else. Statistically Steph's career looks pretty similar to Westbrook and Harden. He should absolutely get some credit for his team's success but context is important. Steph doesn't deserve credit (any more than Chris deserves blame) for who his teammates, coach, and ownership are. Thankfully we have statistics that indicate how much Steph contributed to his team's success.

And even if it is about scoring, Chris will be in the top 100 by the end of this season (assuming he can get relatively healthy) and has a decent shot at finishing his career in the top 50 (he would need to average 15 a game for the next 300 games, which would be about 5 seasons).
