3克裏斯-保羅——洛杉磯快船隊

2012-13數據：16.9分，9.7次助攻，3.7個籃板
2012-13球隊狀況：常規賽56勝26負，一輪出局
2012-13 Stats: 16.9 PPG, 9.7 APG, 3.7 RPG
2012-13 Team Outcome: 56-26 Regular Season, First-round exit

      簡單來説，人不可能在沒有取得任何成就的情況下就被公認為某項領域的達人。是的，在保羅的8個賽季中，他帶領球隊5次闖入季後賽，而且他確實有化腐朽為神奇的能力，他已經是全聯盟的頂級球員了。儘管2013-14賽季的快船還未遇到完美時機，但肯定是保羅所擁有過最好的球員配置了，特別是考慮到球隊把道克-裏弗斯和他的手下引進來這件事情。對於這支由格裏芬引領的“空接之師”，保羅的加入讓他們躋身豪強。在人們的期望達到爆棚之際時，保羅將帶領他們走的更遠。

Put simply, you cannot be the near-universally accepted “best” at anything in life without accomplishing a standard level of success in life. Yes, Paul’s teams have qualified for the postseason in five of his eight seasons, and he’s definitely done an impeccable job at making something out of ‘nothing’ from a roster standpoint (especially early on), but there really are no acceptable excuses from here on out. Not that Paul is making any, as he is one of the league’s greatest competitors and would probably tell you the very same thing. In terms of chances, this 2013-14 Clippers roster, while not perfect, is easily the best group of players Paul has led, especially when you factor in the addition head coach Doc Rivers and his staff to the bench. Paul’s addition, even to a team with all the high-flying excitement that Blake Griffin brings, was the moment that altered the Clippers’ franchise. Now, it’s time for Paul to take this team even further, as expectations are through the roof.
