Sure Stockton was great maybe the best point of all time but MJ IS the best player of all time and has 6 rings on his fingers.
Willams is one of the best Point gaurds in this league.
Paul is off the charts, superior talent, phenomenal leadership skills and is one year away from being the unquestioned best player in the game.
Read and weep Jazz fans, read and weep. Then crawl out of your hidding places and recite the same garbage about Williams being better for the Jazz.
Ya right just like stockton was better for the Jazz than Jordan would have been.
is better than Chris Paul. O'Connor should be enshrined in the Hall of Fame for pulling off that trade. He was just what the Jazz and CJ Miles needed.
Some players rise to the occasion when playing superior talent. I hope Williams does.
How do you like Chris Paul now???
You made this bed now sleep in it!!
Everyone in the country new Chris Paul was better and had more upside than William except for Jerry.
Everyone scout in america said the same thing.
"Chris Paul... best point gaurd to come out since Jason Kidd...tenacious competitor...superb leader"
Hey at least DWill can beat the great teams at home.
The comparison between Stockton and Jordan? Idiotic... The logic is faulty. What happens if DWill wins 6 championships and Paul wins none? Is DWill then the better player? Too many assumptions at this stage of two great careers.
The Jazz took Wiliams because of his size and his ability to post up. DWill was the player they wanted for the system they play in. The Jazz went to the WC Finals a year ago and chances are, they will be back at least a few more times with DWill at the point. How that is a failure is beyond me...
Consider this... Let's say the Jazz face the Hornets in a second round series. The Jazz have the talent to beat NO, so assume the Jazz win the series. At that point, who cares who had the better numbers in the regular season? I am sure Karl Malone would trade his MVP trophies in for a ring anyday...
Had the Jazz not taken DWill, the Hornets would have. Both guards played three years... It's too early to make these claims.
So there!
Oh, and by the way....MJ on the Jazz? Yea, that would have worked.
Dwilly will have a longer career- he is not Crystal Paul.
Dwilly will have more playoff victories.
Crystal Paul will be a flash in the pan. Great year with great stats and then it's over. "They" called Harold Miner "Baby Jordan" once, too...
GO Dwilly! Dominate.
Some of you are limited, biased, and subjective when you can say who is best already. Give them some time. Don't get so lathered up about it. Even ten years from now, it may not be decided.
Second, picking Stockton over MJ is the lamest excuse I've ever read when comparing Williams & Paul. Do you really think that the Jazz would have picked Stockton had they had the #4 pick in the draft? Stockton ended up being a steal, but he wasn't high on anyone's draft board.
Simply put, Williams and Paul will be the best for years to come.
As for the Pual vs Dwill
Someone said Dwill is great cause we beat the Suns, Spurs and Celtics (which paul did too)
What about those losses at Miami, LA, Minnesota (twice) New York and Charlotte.(Paul didn't do) They reported on ESPN that the Jazz are the only team to do that this year.
Phoenix will lose 1-2 more (@SA & maybe @ HOU)
Houston will lose 2-3 more (@UT, @Den & maybe PHO)
that means UT---28 losses
PHO---27-28 losses
HOU---27-28 losses
note: Utah will hold the tie breaker with either PHO or HOU(because UT will beat HOU in SLC).
Dwill is an up and coming all star, CP3 is an MVP candidate which is a big difference. I love Dwill and the jazz are fortunate to have him, but he is not the player Paul is. Put it this way, Derron is one of the top 25 players in the league, Paul is in the top 3.
Dwill and CP3 play in totally different offense. Dwill is part of the offense with the Jazz while CP3 IS the offense for New Orleans. If CP3 doesn't have a good game, New Orlean loses because he is vital to their success. However, if Dwill doesn't have a good game the jazz can still win because Dwill is just part of the offense that relys on teamwork instead of 1 guy.
Lets wait til the playoffs. Dwill will shine like the King Pin.
The Jazz didn't want another Raul Lopez.
Williams vs. Nash: 2-1
Williams vs. Paul: 2-1
Williams vs. Kidd(Dallas/New Jersey): 2-0
Williams vs. Billups: 2-0
Williams vs. Davis: 3-0
To the rest of the NBA: go ahead and keep disrespecting what Deron Williams has done (and continues to do), it only makes him play better when you do.
Go Jazz
Kyle Korver is a nice piece to the puzzle, but to even talk about him and my man Horny in the same sentence is a bit disrespectful at best.
To be honest I would just as soon have Miles and RonBew doing most of the time. Korv's a huge liability on defense WHY do you thing Philly gave him away??
CJ's current ability is comparable to Krutcher and his upside is all star calibur. Korver's downside is too big for a defensive week club. We've got enough 3 point strokers.
But hey I get a kick out of you Jokers

For 90% of you reading this post who somehow think that Deron Williams is better for the Jazz just look at what Boozer had to say. He said Paul is at another level. If you asked Williams he would say Paule is at another level. Williams days of outplaying Paul are over.
Sure Dwill is great for our team, and a great player but he's not even close to the talent skill and leadership ability of Paul.
So there!
