CP3 has made his mark in the league as the best point guard in the game. Paul, as the leader of the Clippers, has led them to a 21-11 and a fourth seed in the Western Conference. The Clippers have a serious chance to be very dangerous in the playoffs this year, and it’s all because of Chris Paul. Without CP3, they’re not one of the best teams in the West, they’re not 21-11 and they may not even have Doc Rivers on the bench. This season Paul is averaging 19.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.7 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game. The Clippers can make a serious playoff run, and with CP3 as their leader, they will always have a chance.
