The latest in Nike's "Where Amazing Happens" campaign is the New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul.
Stand next to CP3 in person and he would be hard to recognize. Despite playing in a league full of guys over 6'8", Paul clocks in at a modest 6'0" weighing in at 175 pounds.
The commercial begins with a wide eyed 20-year old watching his dreams come true right before his eyes. He was drafted fourth overall by the Hornets in 2005 and has taken the league by storm ever since.
The debate for point guard supremacy in today's NBA is between Paul and Utah's Deron Williams.
The discussion is an easy one.
Paul's career averages of 19 points, 10 assists, 2.4 steals and 4.6 rebounds is across the board better than Williams' 17.3 points, 9.1 assists, one steal and 3.2 rebounds.
The Williams camp gained steam when Paul missed most of last season with a knee injury, but with a great season to date, Paul has put the debate to rest.
The undisputed best point guard in the world is CP3.
His 108 consecutive games with a steal is an NBA record and Paul was the fifth player in the history of the game to lead the league in assists and steals in the same season, and has done it twice.
His might have the quickest first-step since the heyday of Allen Iverson. His cross-over is comparable as well.
CP3 is one of the best finishers in the game and isn't afraid to go up against some of the biggest players in the league on his way to the basket.
Paul transformed Tyson Chandler from a defensive player to a guy capable of dropping 20 points on any given day. David West is a mainstay in the All-Star game because of his brilliant point guard.
CP3 is the premier guard in the league and the fans rewarded him with a starting position in the 2011 All-Star game. This will be his fourth time appearing in the game.
He won Rookie of the Year, was selected to the All-NBA First Team,and was a key member of the 2008 Olympic Gold medal winning team.
Paul's NBA resume is amazing in only a five year period. Winning a championship would put the icing on the cake.
