I never liked Chris Paul, but I took the stat keeping comment as a joke. People on this board are nuts.
Did you miss the part where he plays for Houston?

I think it came from straightlines mind. Probably because cp3 is in 8th place meaning 7 guys have more assists than him but he only questions the accuracy of the stats of one of those 7 guys and that guy happens to be white.
He could have questioned the accuracy of statistics during that entire era rather the accuracy of the statistics for one individual player.
Or he could have questioned the accuracy of the stats recorded for magic Johnson for example.
I know that there is a perception that white guys are not as good at basketball as black guys (for good reason since it's true) and maybe it hurts a guys pride more to be beaten by a white guy.

I agree. People see things in different ways though. I was just answering your question.John is extremely separated from the rest of the assist leaders by sheer totals. I took it as an off the cuff — “he’s so far in front of everyone” comment. I didn’t really see a race thing at all...
No. I don't think people are upsetPeople this upset over a joke?

To catch Stockton somebody needs to take care of their body like Stockton did and play as long as he did. .
CP's missed more games just this season than Stockton missed in his 19 year career.
I took it as a joke as well but did peak my interests to see what their apg splits were for home and away.
John Stockton total games played: 1504, #3 all time
Chris Paul total games played: 925, #205 all time

Looks like Dirk or Vince might take over Stockton's #3 spot this season.

What if he was talking about his interest levels in terms of a graph? Then you’d be wrong. And assuming.*pique
