Congrats to ROY. I'm sure he'll have many more trip dubs in his career. He is the next Kidd.
He got the triple double a few minutes before the end of regulation.neoxsupreme said:That was a great game. The fact that it went into double OT helped Chris Paul out w/ that triple double. He & Charlie, the top 2 rookies both had big individual games. Charlie posted 25, 18.
Oh didn't know that. It made his stats look better though I guess. My bad.MJG said:He got the triple double a few minutes before the end of regulation.
But Chris has better rookie numbers than Kidd did as a rookie.jmk said:Before you start calling Paul the next Kidd, remember that Jason has 73 triple doubles.
Over how many years?jmk said:Before you start calling Paul the next Kidd, remember that Jason has 73 triple doubles.
Kidd is currently 4th on the all-time triple double list, so the "over how many years" question doesn't really matter. He's behind Robertson, Magic, and Wilt and by next year will be 3rd on the list.gian said:Over how many years?
Don't mistake age for greatness. Not a shot against Kidd though, I think he's not far from Magic Johnson, and I think Paul has a chance to become the next Kidd. I just that these 'great' players are being overrated by fans who can't accept the future.

Are you saying in 9 years Chris Paul couldn't match Jason Kidd's thriple-double numbers?jmk said:Kidd is currently 4th on the all-time triple double list, so the "over how many years" question doesn't really matter. He's behind Robertson, Magic, and Wilt and by next year will be 3rd on the list.
It's not overrating "great players" as much as it is overrating young players. Paul is one of the best rookie points to come along in many years, but these Kidd comparisons are becoming way too common, way too soon.
I don't think he'll come close.SunsFan57 said:Are you saying in 9 years Chris Paul couldn't match Jason Kidd's thriple-double numbers?
Because if the over time thing doesn't matter. Thats pretty much what you're saying.
I hope Chris Paul isn't reading this... he would be in tears.jmk said:I don't think he'll come close.
