Happy Birthday CP3



After crushing Jason Kidd and the Mavs, forcing Mark Cuban to realize he made the most ridiculous trade of them all, and abusing Tony Parker for the first two games of round two, Chris Paul turns 23-years-old today.

The 'Deron Williams or Chris Paul?' debate is over. Only one of the two has shown the true potential to become the best point guard that basketball has ever seen. And he wears turquoise and yellow.

Besides getting shafted for the regular season MVP (not that Kobe wasn't deserving, but Paul was the better candidate), Paul has locked up the starting PG spot for team USA in the playoffs while averaging 24 points, 50% FG shooting, five rebounds, two steals and a 9-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

The man is a six-foot beast.

Here's to 23 years.
