I don't have much doubt that he will eventually become the best point guard of all time

You replace Kobe with ANYONE in the league, and we would not be the biggest threat in basketball, as we currently are. Paul is valuable, but he is not the "one and only" type of player...very replaceable. Now, if we removed both Paul and Kobe off their teams, it'd be:PG Derek FisherSG Sasha VujacicSF Lamar OdomPF Vladimir RadmanovicC Pau GasolvsPG Jannero PargoSG Morris PetersonSF Peja StojakavicPF David WestC Tyson ChandlerLooks like the Hornets have 3 all-stars to the Lakers' 2 (1, if you consider that Odom never played in an all-star game). Now, ask yourself...who is honestly the better overall player, Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul? Which team finished 1st in the west? Which team persevered through injuries? Who bitched who in their head-to-head match ups? I think it's pretty obvious who our MVP is. Only a hater would say this wasn't Kobe's year.But if you take Chris Paul off that team, then David West is not an All Star and nobody is getting the ball where they want it and defenses don't have to stay honest without Paul's presence.Yea, right...David West was gunna be an all-star regardless. He was college player of the year well before Chris Paul.

The sky is the limit w/ this guy, Its unreal to think how great he is already, flat out scary.
^That's because David West was still a developing young player before Chris Paul came along...you think he wouldn't put up all-star numbers if he were traded? LOL. This is becoming worse than when everyone was giving Nash all the credit for the Suns "success".
