2029299, I think basing a player's greatness or stature on playoff wins

and that carrying significantly more weight than anything else is being shortsighted. Was LeBron not the best player in the league when he kept losing in Cleveland?

If you watch a random game of basketball you can tell who is better than who without taking into consideration the teams' record or past successes or failures. Chris Paul has a more complete game than any other pg. Westbrook may drive the lane better, and you could argue Rondo is a better passer, but Paul is undoubtedly a better floor general and passer than Westbrook, and much better offensively than Rondo. So would you rather have one of them run point on your team because they've been to the Finals before?

Stats and common sense support the idea the Paul is better than any other point in the league.
