Well, Paul is in front on the cover for a reason. Question answered ;-)

My thoughts exactly.

I am glad they are on the front cover, and I am going to go buy the magazine, but if anyone at ESPN thinks that everyone already doesn’t know the answer to that question, they are dreaming. I have found that about 1 in 10 “experts” from various outlets will go with Deron, but most prefer Paul.

That's a cool cover

Frankly, I don’t care who’s in front, I wouldn’t have cared if CP was at back. They are both great players.

Well...

Deron’s face is hotter. I won’t deny that CP3 is a good player, he’s just not as good looking.

Also, there is this new song that I keep hearing on XM, it’s by lil’ wayne and a lot other people. I think it’s called “my life” but I’m not sure… But, Chris Paul is definitely name checked in the song. Interesting.

That's it.

Now, who wants to make a rap up about Deron??

"I've got a Deron William's mindset, I never let injuries cost me games."

not up to your usual rap standards, friend

you set the bar too high with your all-star-related flow.

I'll make it.

Fair enough.

“Fine. I don’t mean to toot my own trumpet. I set the bar too high, but now I’m gonna jump it. Krumpets- is something that you eat with tea; and if you like Maroon 5, you prob’ly like CP3. Cause even though Maroon 5 got the hype and the twirls, did anybody really like them besides teenage girls? They won best new artist, that’s where it all got started, but 20 years from now, Kanye West will still be lauded.” (Deron Williams= Kanye West).

I ask, and you deliver

brilliant. That definitely calls for some D-Will/Kanye Photoshop work.

I'll make it.

That was pretty much amazing.

Now, please look into actually recording this and having it be the soundtrack to a slideshow of great Deron moments.

Seriously.

CraP3 looks scared, D-Will looks like he’s gonna beat somebody’s ass.

Love the kicks DW.

Just to set the record straight.

I don’t think Hornet’s fans are like teenage girls. I like Chris Paul and I love the Paul vs. Williams debate. It is good for our respective teams and it is wonderful for the NBA. I was just freeflowing and had to say what came to mind. That’s all. My dialogue with Hornet’s fans has been some of the best.
