Since his near-MVP season in 2008, Paul has been the gold standard through which all other point guards are compared to. Fellow 2005 NBA Draft point guard Deron Williams challenged Paul for years and repeatedly beat Chris Paul in head to head matchups. But Deron Williams has fallen off over the years, as he now lacks the explosiveness that he used to overpower the smaller Paul. Derrick Rose won the MVP in 2011, but has never been the same thanks to multiple knee injuries. Stephen Curry has lit up the league with his three-point shooting, John Wall has unparalleled speed, and there are more great young point guards today than perhaps at any moment in NBA history. But while Chris Paul may lack their athleticism, no point guard in the league has his on-court knowledge. Eventually, one of those younger point guards will surpass the aging Paul, as time devours all things - with the possible exception of the San Antonio Spurs. The legacy of Chris Paul will be written in the next few years, as his prime begins to reach his end. Will the point guard who puts up incredible numbers and leads a team night in and night out be able to secure that elusive championship? Will Paul secure his rank among the truly great point guards? And how long will this point guard be able to dominate his position? Until that day comes when someone surpasses, this generous, intelligent man, who has endured terrible and horrific losses, will showcase himself as possibly the greatest point guard there ever was and ever will be.
