when his playoff record is shakey at best. This past season with the Clippers was only his 2nd time getting out of the first round and he's never been out of the second round. compared to all of the other elite point guards he's had the least amount of playoff success. People will want to COP PLEAS about his teammates, but I remember in 2008 when Paul had his "breakout" season and a lot of people were saying he deserved MVP and the Lakers window was supposedly closing and the Hornets were going to have the West on lock for the next several years but it didn't happen. Despite having homecourt advantage the Hornets lost in the second round in 7 games to an old broken down ass Spurs team that got dusted by Kobe and the Lakers in the next round. The next year the Hornets lost 4-1 in the first round to Carmelo's Nuggets, they didn't even make the playoffs in 2010, they lost in the first round in 2011 to a Laker team that got swept in the second round about Dallas. And of course this past season Paul's Clippers got swept in the second round by Parker's Spurs.

I'm just trying to figure how Chris Paul gets to leapfrog over people like Parker, Carmelo and Kobe that BEAT him in the playoffs not to mention a lot of other people like Wade, Rondo, and Westbrook that have accomplished way more than him.
