Here’s the Orange County Register reporting on what you better not say to Clippers point guard Chris Paul:
![]() |
Call him a wizard with the basketball. Call him a once-in-a-generation point guard. Call him competitive.
Call him out on not getting past the second round of the playoffs. Call him abrasive. Call him stubborn. Call him too demanding.
Clippers guard Chris Paul would probably be just fine with it.
But bad teammate?
“There are a lot of things you can say about me or what-not, but that’s not one,” Paul said. “I’m competitive and I want to win – you can say a whole lot of stuff about me – I’m not a saint by any means.
“But that’s the one thing you cannot say.”
