Video: Chris Paul 'YouTubes' Jason Terry, Mavericks

By J.E. Skeets

NBA highlights are the foundation of a strong blog breakfast, and although I'm bitter about waking up each morning, that changes quickly after a nutritious YouTube video. And oatmeal. Don't forget the oatmeal.

Well, today we eat like kings, thanks to Chris Paul's effort in the kitchen against the Mavericks last night. There are plenty of excellent dishes to choose, from CP3's behind-the-back dribble no-look to his touch-the-clouds lob to this undressing of poor Jason Terry on the break. Take your pick, pass the sugar and eat up.

Tyson Chandler was left impressed: "Incredible. He made one of the best moves I’ve ever seen in my life — on an NBA player. I was at halfcourt and I just stopped. I couldn’t even finish the break because I had never seen anything like that."

    "cp3 is good...but not a nash or kidd... if he can do this for a few more years then we can talk...for now..."
    Unless he gets seriously injured, Chris Paul is going to run the courts for a while now, and he's going to pass Nash and maybe even Kidd in terms of fantasy utility. You win assists and steals with him now...imagine if he gets better?

    besides making a fool of JET, the best part of that replay during the broadcast was when reggie miller freaked out at rasual butler's dunk, and screamed "AND THE BUTLER DID IT!" and marv albert had to apologize on his behalf before the break.

    saw it live last night and it happened so quick, I knew he did something spectacular but couldn't really tell...then they showed the replay. The mavs were looking so terrible last night..it was great. Cuban can SUCK IT

    Hey Drawass, CP3 is the BEST POINT GUARD in the NBA. Nash/Kidd done. They had their time. I am A LAKER fan, but also an NBA fan. This kid is the BEST. I've been watching hi9m since WAKE. That school has produce two of the best players in the NBA. TIM DUNCAN and CHRIS PAUL.

    CP is very good, but he still has problem will Deron Williams. Right now I still think Deron is better point guard even though he doesn't do as many fancy plays as CP

    Umm...can someone explain why Ginobili's name even came up? That's as arbitrary as saying, '(W.C. Fields)(David Letterman)(Ghandi)(Janet Jackson) has already done that numerous times and way filthier as well.' Ginobili flops like a dead fish or an Argentinian soccer player.

    To even try to compare CP3 with two overated bust outs like Nash & Kidd is ridiculous. Nash was given the mvp twice. Look at Paul's numbers last year and they trounce either of Nash's mvp years!! And Kidd will be the only hall of famer that never should have made the NBA.

    Nash was gifted 2 mvp's, Kidd doesn't count, and ginobili is just okay. Cp3 is the goods! Flip a coin between he and D will.

    lol white guy you've got to be the dumbest individual to ever post a comment on yahoo. kidd is one of the best point guards of all time. cp3 is awesome and you're obvoiusly a fan but you dont have to cut down another players achievements for cp3 to look good he's good on his own.

    Not just the best PG in the game, he's the BEST PLAYER. He is the reincarnation of Magic Johnson, and like real MJ, he'll be the best of his time. Too bad his teammates are mediocre, but he makes them look so pretty.

    JET has been duped by CP and D Will hardcore the past few games. Anyone remember the ankle buster D threw out on the JET? I like both point gaurds but I think Deron is better.
