This season, Chris Paul is definitely a player at MVP level.
Years later, fans are still fervently discussing one question: Was it unfair that the 2008 regular season MVP was given to Kobe instead of Paul?
This question will never have an answer, but one thing is certain: Paul's performance in the 07-08 season was indeed very high-level, otherwise, such a discussion wouldn't exist. Just like no one would debate who's a better center between Rudy Gobert and Nikola Jokic, the gap is too large to make it meaningful.
And Paul, he truly was infinitely close to MVP that year.
In the previous twelve games, Chris Paul had already shown his level. He's like Carmelo Anthony; the only mistake was signing up with Nike's subsidiary AJ. Otherwise, Nike would have invested more resources in him. After all, CP3's height is closer to the average person, allowing more ordinary fans to relate to him, maybe even turning him into another phenomenal player.
