Poll: Who’d Make The Best NBPA President?

We learned tonight that Chris Paul will replace Derek Fisher as the president of the NBA Players Association.  It is no secret that Paul is exceptionally popular among the NBA's players and fans, as Sean Deveney of Sporting News writes in his story about Paul's new position.  Deveney also notes that the point guard has been involved in the union since he was a rookie, which allows him to utilize star power and knowledge in a position and union that desperately need both.

Since rumors of LeBron James eyeing the position surfaced in late July, the idea of a league star as the union front man has been universally advocated after more than a decade without one.  But is that advocacy on point?  And if so, is CP3 the man to prove it?  There are a lot of new faces in new roles this year, from commissioner to NBPA president, so this selection could have legitimate ramifications.  Let us know what you think, and feel free to elaborate in the comments section.
