    I remember watching this game. It represented the exact moment I realised that, yes, Chris Paul is one of the best basketball players in the entire bloody world right now.

    Anton,

    I agree. The torch had already been passed in a lot of people’s minds, but this game helped prove that CP3 is the greatest point guard in the game.
