I know this thread is long overdue...
Well liking Chris Paul and the Hornets is easy... They are young, inexperienced, and playing extremely well againts more experienced teams...
And what's not to like about CP3... Most of us here think he's the MVP... I don't see why not, the way he led the Hornets to where they are now in his 3rd year in the NBA at 22... Averaging 24.3ppg 4.9rpg and 12.1apg... He has more 20pts+ and 15ast+ games this season more than any other players this season combined leading his team to the 2nd seed in the West...
With his leadership; Peja is playing inspired ball again after injury plagued seasons, David West has finally emerged an all-star averaging 21ppg and 8rpg, Tyson has finally live-up to what people have been expecting of him when the the Clips picked him 2nd overall and trading his rights to the Bulls, and has become the emotional leader of this team, fueling the Hornets with his intensity... And Byron Scott winning the Coach of the Year Award... CP3 with a ring savvy of a veteran and the genius that he is, has transformed this young Hornets team into legitimate contenders in the West with all the other heavy favorites...
Didn't jump to a CP3 bandwagon when his game finally gained recognition this season... When Chris was drafted, my brother told me he was the kid featured on Oprah after scoring 61pts in HS in tribute to his slain grandfather... Instantly I knew this kid is gonna' be special and indeed I was right all along...
Let's support the Hornets and hope they could go further this playoffs...
