Really Dumb Paragraph In An Otherwise Good Article

The closing bit on an article about Chris Paul:

A lot has been made of his fearlessness, rightfully so. And a lot has been made of his poise under pressure, rightfully so. But the defining feature of Chris Paul right now is something even more elemental and impressive and captivating than those things. Chris Paul is being Chris Paul. Young, fast, creative, tough, eager and gifted. He's being Chris Paul completely. Without reservation. Tirelessly. Without complication.



I'd have trouble looking at myself in the mirror if I wrote something as vacuous as that. Do people mistake writing like this for profundity?
