Hornets point guard Chris Paul was asked recently whether he felt as though he is as good as superstars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.

"I think so, I think so," Paul told Dan LeBetard on 790 The Ticket. "I tell people all the time, one thing that all those guys have over me, definitely is just that dunk factor. I get in to the lane just as much as D-Wade and 'Bron and those guys but when they get in to the lane with their athleticism, a lot of the time they just take off to dunk and guys don't even challenge them at the rim. When I get in to the lane, everyone's eyes light up and they wanna come over and block the shot."
