At the beginning of this season, the NBA abounded in great point guard play. National TV personalities made a regular event out of quizzing each other for their top-5 point guards. Then the season started, and Derrick Rose quickly became everyone's darling with his sterling play.
Who is the best point guard? Since Steve Nash's MVP years, the debate has been between Chris Paul and Deron Williams, with rumblings from Celtic fans who want to include Rondo. While Rose has launched himself into the MVP discussion (not happening, but that's another matter), Paul and Williams took to self-deprecation on the same day.
First, Deron Williams took a shot at his recent play in a post-game interview.
"I'm sick of playing like crap, man. I need to pull my weight and help this team win."
Then Chris Paul responded to a critical tweet. Since it went over the 140-character limit, you had to follow the extension to see Paul's remarks, which he added to the end. Below is the tweet and the full caption.
It's hard to believe that the guys who went into the season as the consensus top-2 at their position would need to take such a humbled stance -- on the same day, no less.
