Chris Craziness: March Madness Round of 32 – Chris Paul vs. Christopher Walken
By Buckie Wells
To see who advances to the Sweet Sixteen of Chris Craziness, today’s Round of 32 brings together an incredible NBA player and incredible actor.
Picking a favorite Chris is hard and we know it. It’s not like basketball, where you can just pick the team with the cutest jerseys. (Oh, is that not how they do it?) Of course, because it’s such a difficult task, we turn it over to the fans to vote for their favorite Chris in a tournament that will crown only one Chris as the world’s best Chris. We’re almost to the Sweet Sixteen round! But we still have to dwindle down a few more Chrises.
So let’s start with today’s match up. Today, we have a basketball player and a guy who is such a good actor, he may be able to convince a crowd that he’s a great basketball player. Obviously, emphasis on “may.”

Chris Paul (NBA)
I’m not sure why we don’t refer to NBA players as lovers of baskets and balls, but I know that joke doesn’t play will across the board. Luckily, Chris Paul’s skills do. Over the course of his career, his stats have remained pretty consistent and earned him the nickname CP3 as the Los Angeles Clipper’s pointguard. While he struggles to carry his team through the NBA finals, as an individual player, he’s a decorated player who’s won Rookie of the Year and two Olympic gold medals.

Christopher Walken (Actor)
In the previous round, Christopher Walken managed to defeat Christy Turlington. Most likely, its because he’s an awesome actor who’s been delighting audiences on the big screen for decades. But now, it’s time to decide whether his venerable talents are enough to see him take out someone as esteemed as Chris Paul.
