Reasons For Chris Paul To Win

Many super stars are in NBA, famous for their own ability and talent. Chris Paul is one of them. What are the weapons for him to win so many people's heart?

 (1) Brain
When Allen Iverson gradually has fade out the line of sight of people, another small guard as fate breaks into our view - Chris Paul. With the same height, the same number, the fast speed and flexibility, he has already aroused so many people's eyes. However, the ways of Paul to win does not rely on the speed, but brain. His unique skill is to change the frequency and direction of his steps so that to make the defenses to lose balance. Except attack, Paul's abilities of passing and grabbing basketball are another weapon.

(2) Fighting Spirit
Lots of people will be cheated by Paul's innocent smile, actually, there store huge fighting spirit in his body. Only he takes a basketball, tie his shoes and go to the battlefield, he will change into another people. There only exist partners and opponents on playing field.

Paul has ever wanted to penetrate into interior lines of his competator as Steve Nash, pass excellent ball like Jason Kidd, dribble flexiable as Allen Iverson. And now, he did it. When the team requires any skills, he will try his best to finish. There is continunous aggressive heart in his gentle appearance.

(5)Smile
Smile seems to become the sign of Paul. No matter who face to, he will smile. I think the people who like to smile own huge love in their heart. This is also one of his weapons. When his team competated with Spur 2008, Paul ever wore a pair of shoes which marked with "Brian", come from one of his little fans who would have met with his idol, but a pity that he died before make this dream come true.

The New Jersey Nets


Devin: It all starts with his jumper. After starting the season just 25% from 16-23 feet, Deron’s finally connecting on those shots at a stunning 63% clip (29/46) in the past nine. He’s getting the same looks off curls and ball screens that he’s gotten all year, but that didn’t translate to made shots for whatever ethereal (or undercover) reason. He hasn’t made a vast transformation as a player — he’s still the same point guard he’s always been, running the floor and finding open looks for everyoneeven if his teammates can’t keep up with him. But for at least the past nine games, Deron’s done a rapid-fire progression to the mean, centered around hitting from midrange.
Are there any guards left on this team? Is Marshon just ducking Ricky?
Are you counting out the great Jordan Farmar?
Okay, that’s a joke, but Farmar and Williams have seen success on the floor together. Either one can handle PG duties and create off the ball, and D-Will is big and quick enough to guard most of the NBA’s 2′s. Since the Wolves play a lot of two-point guard rotations with Rubio, Luke Ridnour, and J.J. Barea, the Nets shouldn’t have too many issues tonight.
The loss definitely hurts, though. While he may not throw the behind-the-back bounce passes with purpose that Ricky does, there are few rookies in the league (Kyrie may be the only comparable one) with MarShon’s combination of outside and inside scoring ability. Before MarShon Brooks, we generally had to hope that Anthony Morrow’s floater and fadeaway post-up jumper were enough to throw off defenses; now we’ve got Brooks deking, faking, and spinning galore. He’s used the backboard about as well as anyone I’ve seen on jumpers and floaters and has scored a bunch of buckets just on his ability to loft the shot higher and off the glass alone. He’s attacked Dwight Howard in the lane and scored. He’s hit his open and contested jumpers with stunning regularity. He dropped 15 points in a half on the 3rd-best defense in the league, then didn’t try to force his offense when they threw doubles at him in the second half. He’s more mature and confident than I think anyone expected, without crossing the line into arrogance, and his conservative passing approach (more often than not swinging the ball up top rather than forcing passes into the lane) beget his low assist totals rather than a penchant for ballhogging.
I know Timberwolves fans are counting their lucky cinnamon sticks that they’ve landed such a talented point guard in Ricky Rubio, but MarShon’s ability thus far to create from anywhere without overplaying his usefulness has been an equally bright light in a mostly dark New Jersey cloud. We wish him well and hope he’s back to 100% soon.
And if anything, MarShon’s staying out extra time so that Ricky doesn’t get shown up and lose his bid at the Rookie of the Year award. See? He’s selfless! He can create for others in unique ways!
Seems like the Nets are really bad at defending the pick-and-roll. How do they stop the Wolves’ guards from exploiting that?
By hoping that the Wolves bigs can’t exploit it. The Nets switch on nearly everything, which usually means that the ballhandler’s defender gets switched onto a smaller player, then scrambles to recover for his own man. Of course, this means that Shelden Williams, Kris Humphries, and Johan Petro have to recognize that double-teams 30 feet from the basket aren’t prudent, and the remainder of the team has to recognize that there’s one man heading to the basket and that one defender needs to rotate. For the generic team, it’s not wholly difficult, but with the Nets, it’s a lot of hoping and praying. Luckily, the Timberwolves boast one of the few centers whose hands I trust less than Johan Petro’s. But if Ricky Rubio’s getting penetration in the lane and Love’s using his wide frame to clear out space inside, it’s going to be yet another long night defensively.

King Lebron James


Fresh off his appearance on "Saturday Night Live," Charles Barkley changed mediums Wednesday, but continued with a familiar theme: LeBron James as passive superstar.
Asked on Chicago's "Waddle & Silvy Show" about the Heat forward failing to even attempt a single shot in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors, Barkley said it was just more of the same.
"I think LeBron James' personality is he just defers," he told the ESPN radio affiliate.
Barkley said it was no surprise that when Dwyane Wade returned from a three-game absence due to a bruised left foot, James' scoring total went down.
"He went from scoring 30 points a game last week when Dwyane was out to when Dwyane came back, he stepped back a little bit," Barkley said. "I tell people, LeBron James is a great, great player. But I think he's just one of those nice guys, 'Well Dwyane's back, I'm going to defer to him.'
"That's all it could be. To not take a shot . . .
"My personal opinion is he just doesn't have an aggressive personality."
Barkley said it simply might be who LeBron is.
"You saw when Dwyane was out, LeBron had like monster games," Barkley said, with James named NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week each of the first two weeks of the season, even while missing a game last week due to a sprained left ankle. "He almost averaged a triple-double.
"He's a really nice guy. I've said that before. LeBron James is just a really nice guy."
James said following the loss to the Warriors that he simply was playing as a facilitator, praising the open looks the Heat got for the likes of Mario Chalmers.

On Volatility Among The NBA's Top Scorers


LeBron James is the most consistent of the NBA's top scorers. What's that worth? Who are the most volatile scorers in the league?
Follow @sbnation on Twitter, and LikeSBNation.com on Facebook.
Feb 2, 2012 - As we know based on the wide range of shooting percentages we see among the list of the NBA's top point producers, we know that not all scorers are created equal. Kobe Bryant is scoring a bit more than LeBron James per game this season, but Kobe needs four extra shooting possessions to reach that level. Carmelo Anthony is the league's No. 5 scorer, but takes more shots per game than two of the guys (Kevin Durant, Kevin Love) ahead of him on the list.
There's another way in which scorers differ: volatility. Some scorers are more reliable than others; there are the proverbial "you know you're going to get 20 points" guys and the "explosive scorers." We sometimes give credit to explosive scorers, even those in prominent offensive roles, because they could go off at any time and get their team back in the game.
But there's a flip side to that: they aren't necessarily dependable. In the NBA as in any competitive atmosphere, consistency has some importance. If a team's management doesn't know what they'll get out of a star any given night, it's hard to build a proper cast around him. Just how much of a drain excessive volatility is a question mark, at least for this column. (I have no doubt a team or three have conducted studies on the value of consistency, but there's nothing public or publicized in the NBA realm on that issue that I know of.) This exercise is meant to look at which players are volatile compared to their peers.
There are currently 15 players who have enough minutes to qualify for the leaderboards who are averaging 20 points per game this season, ranging from Dwight Howard's 20.1 average to Kobe's 30.0. To measure their scoring volatility, I borrowed a trick from finance: I took the standard deviations of the players' game-by-game scoring totals and divided by their scoring average. This gives us a volatility rating that allows us to compare 30-point scorers with 20-point scorers without bias.
What we found is not wholly surprising: 'Melo, who this week actually had a 1-point game, is the most volatile of the 20-point scorers this season, and not by a small margin. Anthony's game-by-game standard deviation is nearly half the size of his scoring average; he is almost as likely to have an extreme scoring performance (more than 34 percent above or below his average) as he is to have a normal one.
Howard, surprisingly, is right behind 'Melo. Seeing a big man so high on the list fights conventional wisdom, which is that since big men tend to have higher shooting percentages, their production is more reliable. While Kevin Love, Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge all seem to bolster that hypothesis with relatively low volatility marks, Howard -- a regular near the top of field goal percentage rankings -- is a blinking signal of doubt.
One possible explanation: Dwight earns so many free throw attempts and shoots them so poorly that if he has a bad day at the stripe, he's likely to have a bad day in the scoring column. (That the season has been short and that he had a monster scoring game against Golden State could affect things too, though the game didn't throw his average too far away from expectations.)
The other numbers aren't terribly surprising. LeBron is a clock; he's had just two games under 20 points in 21 outings and none under 16. Kevin Durant is similarly stable, with the second lowest volatility rating among the 20-point scorers. Chris Bosh is, other than Howard, the most volatile of the high-scoring big man, likely owing to his rare role as a third option on offense. (Not many third options average 20 a game.) Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings live up to their reputations as "explosive," and Russell Westbrook looks more like Derrick Rose every day.
Again, we don't know how important volatility in scoring really is, so it's hard to place value on the predictability LeBron, Durant and most of the big men provide. But it's worth keeping an eye on as we suss out our expectations for what players can provide and how consistently they should do so.
