After being injured last year, Chris Paul has somehow fallen out of the “Best PG in the league” conversation. Or at least, he’s not as high as he used to be. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. But, through four playoff games so far this year against the Lakers, CP3 has reminded basketball fans that not much has changed. He is the main reason that the overmatched Hornets have tied the series up at 2 games apiece against the defending champs.
Last night, during his triple-double performance, Chris Paul had the benefit of having Andrew Bynum switched on him in an isolation at the top of the key. Paul is listed at 6’0″ and Andrew Bynum is 7’0″. Not only is Bynum a foot taller, but he perennial has achy knees. He hurt his right knee just before the playoffs began and Chris decided to test that out last night. Check out the dance moves Paul put on Bynum last night.
