Nobody ever wears 3 again?
Let's not forget...
When all is said and done, Chris Paul will be one of, if not the greatest PG to ever play in the NBA. Five years into his career, he's already on par in most of the categories with where Stockton, Thomas, Johnson were in their careers - and this was playing with 0 help in New Orleans. If he stays with Blake at what has become a highlight reel out in LA, it'll get ridiculous.
So that being said 2 or 3 years ago I was on the fence about this. I would say after the last few seasons and how far we've fallen, hang the fucking thing. All-American, great representative of the University, born and raised just down the street, and will go down as one of the greatest to ever play the game.
Who the hell do you guys think is coming to Wake Forest in the future? I'll pretty much guarantee you, it'll never be someone who will end up as good as CP3.

Howard was a first all-american
Agreed. I don't think any of us appreciated how good CP3 really was. At the pace that he's at, he will go down as the best point guard of his generation. He's already left his peers in the dust years ago, i.e. Jarrett Jack, TJ Ford, Raymond Felton, and to a lesser extent Deron Williams. The guy is the best point guard in the league and will be for years to come. I too was on the fence on this one and I must admit, I was still a little bitter about the nut-punch, WVU, pretty much the entire kick in the balls that was the Spring of 2005. CP3 has become a great ambassador for the university and Winston-Salem. He has done more for the school in 5 years than Duncan has in 15 years.
I know.

If a player made first team All American on two polls and second team on one is good enough for me. Something like that. Rule of thumb.
You explained why you don't believe Paul's number should be retired despite meeting your AA criteria. Share with us your reasoning behind only "honoring" Howard.

Use Arnie as much as we can before he dies. Use Chris Paul while he's the hottest PG in the NBA. The best rule of marketing...grab what is unique to you and hold it tight because all the money in the world from our competitors can't buy it.
