Not hardly. D Wade averaged 2.1 steals a game last year and he's hardly a good defender. LeBron 2.2 steals a game in his second year, and he wasn't a good defender. Still isn't in alot of people's eyes but he's come a long way. Being a good defender is more than just the numbers.

Re: Shots fired CP3 Vs Skip
Thank you! I'm a hornet fan living in New Orleans and I watch every single hornets game. I'll be damned if CP3 is not one of the best defensive guards in this league. For someone to say that he's not all-that defensively makes me wonder what type of intelligence we have on this board.Huge Fan of the New Orleans Saints & New Orleans Pelicans!!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment

Re: Shots fired CP3 Vs Skip
I have no idea how anyone who actually watches the games can say that CP3 is not a good defensive player. Actually, I'm pretty sure that the people who claim this don't watch the games, or are just arguing for the sake of it. He is possibly (if not definitely) THE best defensive PG in the league. He is an absolute pest on offenses and that isn't limited to steals, which by the way, he gets a lot of them on the ball, not by cheating off the defender which is how a lot of players rack up steals. And considering he's averaging almost 3, that's pretty damn impressive.Comment

Re: Shots fired CP3 Vs Skip
CP3 is a very solid defensive guard unless he's playing Deron Williams. He makes really smart plays all around. He's an MVP candidate, and a much better NBA player than Skip...
BUT
I'd like to see him take that trash to the park with Rafer. There is nothing wrong with defending your teammates, but he went a little far, especially considering what Skip said. Skip just spoke the truth. You can't compare the absence of David West to the absence of Yao Ming. They are on two completely different levels. Speaking up for West is fine but it's a little silly to go at him as if Skip attacked the guy's character, or even his game. After all that talk, Chris is almost obligated to come to the Rucker and show that he's a superior ballplayer to Rafer, and not just a superior NBA player.Comment

Re: Shots fired CP3 Vs Skip
Even though Rafer is Skip to my Lou, I think CP would give it to him in streetball.
