36 year old CP3 during 2022 playoffs: 23/5/9 with 2 steals on 68% TS
37 year old CP3 during playoffs: 9/3/5 with 1 steal on 62% TS
I literally always get downvoted when I saw that when it goes, *it goes quickly,* especially with little guys.
But CP3 is a perfect example. Basically all he has left is the shithousery.
You'll need to be more specific. MJ had several 40 point games as a Wizard. First time he had 44 he backed it up with 30. Next he had 51 and backed it up with 45. Then he had 40 and backed it up with 41. Then he had 41 and backed it up with just 19. Had 45 and backed up with 27 and finally as a 40yo he dropped 43 and backed up with 30.
So pretty much only backed up a 40 point game with a bad game just once....
Jordan had 2 points and then went to have 30 and 33 next two games. He also ha d a 10 point and then 40 point game. Maybe he ment in that order, first game suck, next game good.
I’m neither a wizards or MJ super fan but I think I was referring to the 51 … the stretch around that time was like .500
it’s been too long since those games but feel free to go fact check more
I’m not even that old and it’s crazy how fast it creeps up on you. Used to play basketball all the time after work, or run for hours on the weekends in open gyms. I’d wake up the next day go to work then hit the courts again after work
Now a few years later we rent out a gym every once in awhile to run and we all become geriatric for the next day or two.
Chris Paul was barely able to get by people at the start of last season, but he could get by people. He lost that last tick of athleticism that let him be a great NBA point guard.
I mean he just came back from an injury less than 2 weeks ago lol it’s like when klay came back and everyone was asking why he was so ass and look at him now. I’d be more worried if after 10 more games he’s still like this
That’s my opinion at least but there’s no denying he def is older and time doesn’t wait for anybody on that.
2008 Chris Paul was fucking terrifying. Amazing hops to go with all the skills and know how. But that knee injury made him into a less explosive player that matured into a great point guard on the Clippers. It's actually super rare for a little guy to be this good for this long. Iverson had retired by this age and Isiah was done by 32.
It is so dumb. I kinda fucking hate that they still call a reach even. sure we won't give the dude free throws, but it is still a personal foul and gets the team closer to the bonus.
In my opinion this is either nothing or a control foul from the offensive player going through a defender in a legal defensive stance.
Idk about offensive but it’s should be a no call. If the defenders hand is there before any motion they should treat it like how a defender is entitled to his space or space if he is there before the offensive player. If the offensive player is stupid enough to pull with a hand in his face he should have to account and adjust for the hand in his face, not get rewarded with drawing a foul for doing nothing except attacking a defenders body who was there before him
I hate this. It 100% is KD’s move. He’s be feasting if they hadn’t changed the rule because of him. But when it’s time to give KD his due, people deny it. Just the tiniest, pettiest pet peeve I have. Almost nothing to do with your statement, admittedly
He also didn’t touch CP3 at, it’s call a flail to get a bailout call.
CP3 would perform yet another one of these at the end of the game and the suns would receive the Karma.
Please educate yourself
I’m going to watch it frame by frame and see who’s right.
EDIT: CP3 obviously got him just like I thought eating live. Dyson had the ball and CP3 could barely reach his elbow so he yanked on it. It’s like a big brother trolling the shorter sibling.
I loved when he was with the Lakers, the voice I grew up with watching Laker games
Didn't really know when he left but was really pleased to hear him with the Pelicans and their squad, Pels have a really good casting team
I remember hearing him commentate for the Lakers several years ago and thought he was great. I was so happy when he moved to the Hornets/Pels broadcast team.
100%. I'd make any contact created by the offensive player an offensive foul. All that driving in and just jumping into the defender should all be offensive.
You're not wrong. I guess what I meant to say is the act of simply jumping into the defender should not make it a defensive foul, short of the defender mauling the offensive player. It should not be a defensive foul when the guy on offense created the contact.
Our 2nd best defender on the team. Getting Herb and Dyson on back to back drafts is insane. Herb can go to the bench and you can still have Dyson pick up the slack.
I swear NOLA is beyond stacked. On top of everything else, they have my favorite pick of the draft Dyson Daniels who's limit is the sky. Dude can be an amazing player in this league for years.

Maybe those CP3 after turning 37 memes weren’t wrong at all…
Not memes just pure statistics 36 year old CP3 during 2022 playoffs: 23/5/9 with 2 steals on 68% TS 37 year old CP3 during playoffs: 9/3/5 with 1 steal on 62% TS
I still don’t understand how lmfao. The shift is wild considering the time frame.
Genuinely from one day to the other it completely fell off
Maybe he had some Kardashian for his b-day and got his soul/skills leeched.
I literally always get downvoted when I saw that when it goes, *it goes quickly,* especially with little guys. But CP3 is a perfect example. Basically all he has left is the shithousery.
Playing at a decently high level until 36 is incredibly rare in the NBA, regardless of size.
Yeah. But point that out in a discussion about a player who is playing well at age 33-35 and enjoy ...
I honestly think it's guys that rely on skill vs guys that rely on athleticism.
Everyone relies on athleticism. It's the NBA.
*See* Andre Miller
Some explain that is aging in pro sports MJ scored 40 that one game as a Wizard and then sucked balls for days after. No HP left
You'll need to be more specific. MJ had several 40 point games as a Wizard. First time he had 44 he backed it up with 30. Next he had 51 and backed it up with 45. Then he had 40 and backed it up with 41. Then he had 41 and backed it up with just 19. Had 45 and backed up with 27 and finally as a 40yo he dropped 43 and backed up with 30. So pretty much only backed up a 40 point game with a bad game just once....
People just straight bullshitting confidently. Good thing you have the numbers to make him look stupid.
The man was god on a basketball court even in his ripe old years on a trash team.
Jordan had 2 points and then went to have 30 and 33 next two games. He also ha d a 10 point and then 40 point game. Maybe he ment in that order, first game suck, next game good.
I’m neither a wizards or MJ super fan but I think I was referring to the 51 … the stretch around that time was like .500 it’s been too long since those games but feel free to go fact check more
It’s aging in general. At 40, I can still do a lot of what I did at 20 - just don’t ask me to do it twice in one week
I’m not even that old and it’s crazy how fast it creeps up on you. Used to play basketball all the time after work, or run for hours on the weekends in open gyms. I’d wake up the next day go to work then hit the courts again after work Now a few years later we rent out a gym every once in awhile to run and we all become geriatric for the next day or two.
No legs left. CP3 was turning down 3-ball shots in the 4th quarter, and the one he took in OT he went for the foul bait. No legs left.
[You dropped this.](https://media.giphy.com/media/erqfqoxBOYik0/giphy.gif)
When he got his extension people said this was going to happen. It was so stupid
the difference between being better than average and average is a razor thin margin at this level.
Whatever his flaws, JKidd knows exactly how to game plan for a 37 year old point guard in a playoff series.
Suns were up. So it might've been more the "well, that didn't work. let's try something else" -- which is better than some coaches...
Maybe. On the other hand, not that long ago JKidd *WAS* a 37 year old point guard in a playoff series.

Stats before Kanye caught him vs after
TS still elite
His mind realized that he was old and it was over at that moment.

You absolutely love to see it. Fuck this stupid ass move.
It is so dumb. I kinda fucking hate that they still call a reach even. sure we won't give the dude free throws, but it is still a personal foul and gets the team closer to the bonus. In my opinion this is either nothing or a control foul from the offensive player going through a defender in a legal defensive stance.
Can't this just be called an offensive foul? It is a move done purely to draw a foul. Its seems like low hanging fruit.

If the defenders hand is there before any motion they should treat it like how a defender is entitled to his space or space if he is there before the offensive player.

Yeah idk could be an offensive foul but the NBA is not gonna kill half of Kevin Durants game like that
If they just make the rule only apply to people with two first names I'm fine with that.
He did it twice in the game and it didn’t work. So glad to see.
So casual you don’t even know it’s KDs move
Did they say it was a CP only move? Maybe, just maybe they hate the move regardless who does it lol
Even when KD did it for us I hated it.
"fuck this stupid move" "Actually it's kd's move" ????
nowhere did he call it anyone else's move. jesus
Cope harder
Ahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahah
Commented twice so who’s coping here?
Chris paul
I hate this. It 100% is KD’s move. He’s be feasting if they hadn’t changed the rule because of him. But when it’s time to give KD his due, people deny it. Just the tiniest, pettiest pet peeve I have. Almost nothing to do with your statement, admittedly
If anything, I think it was Kobe’s move first. At least, he’s the one I remember doing it first
The future is now old man
Dyson’s defense at 19 is just silly
He's so advanced
the meta has changed
These nephews got the answers to the exam.
ROTY
look at CP3 smile right at the camera like “fuck, y’all got me”
Idk what you guys are watching cuz he didn’t touch the ball at all.
He also didn’t touch CP3 at, it’s call a flail to get a bailout call. CP3 would perform yet another one of these at the end of the game and the suns would receive the Karma. Please educate yourself
as a cp3 hater, dyson definitely got all arm and no ball lol, start from :20 and watch at 1/4 speed
There’s no point in debating this when you can just watch the video frame by frame. Stop blindly hating.
You’re the only one tryna lie to the masses but go off king
I’m going to watch it frame by frame and see who’s right. EDIT: CP3 obviously got him just like I thought eating live. Dyson had the ball and CP3 could barely reach his elbow so he yanked on it. It’s like a big brother trolling the shorter sibling.
We’re talking about the rip-through.
downvoted for speaking the truth lol
CP37
Excellent. Hate this bullshit move.
Announcer's got a nice old-timey 1950s radio voice.
Everyone loves Joel Meyers
I loved when he was with the Lakers, the voice I grew up with watching Laker games Didn't really know when he left but was really pleased to hear him with the Pelicans and their squad, Pels have a really good casting team
I remember hearing him commentate for the Lakers several years ago and thought he was great. I was so happy when he moved to the Hornets/Pels broadcast team.
I hate the other guy tho tbh.
He's the AD we actually like.
Just not my cup of tea I guess
Mine either. A little much for my ears. Must fit New Orleans though.
Pelicans liked Herb Jones so much, they picked up another one
Both courtesy of the Lakers.
Thanks for AD! Glad it’s working out for both teams lol
This one is younger and Australian!
Dyson aint no punk
Genuinely heartwarming
This gives me life
Best case scenario here. I detest the rip through. Lawyer ball is the worst.
He’s been baiting the refs into calling fouls up to that point. Refs said no more lmao
That a boy Dyson
The rip through should not be a thing. That's a bitch ass move.
Should be an offensive foul imo.
100%. I'd make any contact created by the offensive player an offensive foul. All that driving in and just jumping into the defender should all be offensive.
Zion would foul out in minutes if this was the case. Basketball is a contact sport.
You're not wrong. I guess what I meant to say is the act of simply jumping into the defender should not make it a defensive foul, short of the defender mauling the offensive player. It should not be a defensive foul when the guy on offense created the contact.
Ugh that rip through is so irritating
Dyson is a **brilliant** basketball player. Genuinely thank the Lakers from the bottom of my heart for him and Herb
The replay did not look all ball but fuck CP.
Yeah in hindsight, there’s a frame where Dyson’s hand is all over CP3’s arm. The way CP3 reacted, I’m guessing he knocked the ball loose.
Such a fraudulent player and team lmfao
dyson daniels is gonna have a long career in this league
Stoked for this but if you go frame by frame it looks like he gets no ball and all arm?
I'm going to allow it for hater reasons.
Agreed. Watched it on quarter speed a few times and it doesn't even look close.
Didnt watch it more than once but if he did foul him i think we would have seen a lot more complaining from chris paul...
Shhh just let them hate they aren’t smart enough for that comment
That comment isn’t getting downvoted at all idk why you’re acting like ppl are disagreeing. But it’s okay keep victimizing yourself
Yeah he's at least hitting CPS elbow lol maybe further
I only thought to look cause I’ve always wanted to see a nice clean strip of one of those rip through
Chris Paul is such a bitch
It's a good thing this happened after NNN.
He literally didn’t touch the ball, what is this title
Our 2nd best defender on the team. Getting Herb and Dyson on back to back drafts is insane. Herb can go to the bench and you can still have Dyson pick up the slack.
Dyson is half his age but has twice the wits.
When people realize we took the best perimeter defender in consecutive drafts...
Fuck Chris Paul and all the faul grifters. I hope they won't fucking win a thing.
Man I didn't knew dyson daniels is a rookie. I always thought heas veteran. What the heck. He so good at defense and have nice offense.
You can’t spell foul baiting sons of a gun without the suns
This specific play is a huge reason why I don't like CP0. Get that petty shit outta here
I hate cp3. But the amount of people saying this is good D is just crazy
CP3 getting a taste of his own medicine.
Love to see it
CP0 moves in his bag
Everyone doing that rip through shit needs to retire asap
The suns are all cunts
Pelicans, WHYYYYYY?!?
[удалено]
Or he’s 37 and coming back from a month of not playing
Kid paid attention to the scouting report
[My favourite was when Poku got him with his own move](https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/tvos4z/highlight_poku_chris_pauld_chris_paul/)
u/n0t_malstroem Your boy is out here terrorizing Chris Paul. 😅
Snake Eyes
Fuck Piss Crawl 3
dyson said "been seen your shit old man"
The end is always hard.
Chris "the hand slapper" Paul.
Everyone loves watching CP3 and bullshit look stupid.
pwned
Eat shit old man (I am 39M, broke)
This is how I feel hoopin against high school kids at LA Fitnes. “How tf did he get that???”
chris paul is such a dush. nothing about this was a basketball move. 110% foul baiting and should be illegal ruining the integrity of the game
all ball on a ripthru is hard as hell regardless of the offensive player. i know its only one play who the hell did this guy learn defense from?! 👏
Rip-thru is such a pathetic non-basketball move. Please let us never call it ever again.
Fuck yeah 🇦🇺
I can’t stand cp3 bro, what an annoying POS
Is it just me or does Dyson Daniels lowkey look like Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons?
Eat shit Chris Paul. Your play style is ruining basketball
This will be the highest upvoted post in r/nba history
nah nothing will beat the post when Luka dicked the Suns down in G7
inshallah
That’s a baller move
I hate Chris Paul and his rip through move.
Baiting the rip through and then swatting that shit is the new meta
Future Aussie Boomer bests whiny boomer
His skills and athleticism are evading him. Cheap tricks is one of the thing he knows now and even that isn't helping.
Nice try old man. The future is now.
I fucking hate the rip through move. Hate it when Luka does it too. It’s not basketball
You just know that Dyson stretched out his arm to bait CP 0 rings into trying that bitch ass move.
THE OLD MAN IS GETTING OLD MAN
“The future is now old man!”
Get it Aussie son
They really named this man after a vacuum bruh 😹😂😜😂🤣😅😹🙏🙈🎶😂🤥🤫🤔😫😭👴🏿👌🙀🤡🤤🫠🤭🫣😩😫😂😹
“I’m addicted to going to the finals.” 😂
That wasn’t all ball, they just didn’t call the ripthru
they need to stand up a cardboard cutout with Kevin Durant holding his hand at 6'3" - "you need to be this tall to rip-through"
this stupid rip through move needs to be made illegal
I swear NOLA is beyond stacked. On top of everything else, they have my favorite pick of the draft Dyson Daniels who's limit is the sky. Dude can be an amazing player in this league for years.
That just may be the wackest move in basketball
Definitely not all ball. You can see him slap CP arm if you go frame by frame, but FUCK CHRIS PAUL
