3克里斯-保罗——洛杉矶快船队

2012-13数据：16.9分，9.7次助攻，3.7个篮板
2012-13球队状况：常规赛56胜26负，一轮出局
2012-13 Stats: 16.9 PPG, 9.7 APG, 3.7 RPG
2012-13 Team Outcome: 56-26 Regular Season, First-round exit

      简单来说，人不可能在没有取得任何成就的情况下就被公认为某项领域的达人。是的，在保罗的8个赛季中，他带领球队5次闯入季后赛，而且他确实有化腐朽为神奇的能力，他已经是全联盟的顶级球员了。尽管2013-14赛季的快船还未遇到完美时机，但肯定是保罗所拥有过最好的球员配置了，特别是考虑到球队把道克-里弗斯和他的手下引进来这件事情。对于这支由格里芬引领的“空接之师”，保罗的加入让他们跻身豪强。在人们的期望达到爆棚之际时，保罗将带领他们走的更远。

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.
