Chris Paul: Shots fired at Lakers!

[eliteballer]

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul, who is featured on the covers of October's GQ , told the magazine he actually preferred being traded to the Clippers rather than the Los Angeles Lakers last year.

"They had the better pieces," Paul said. "And winning with the Clippers would be legendary."

Last year NBA commissioner David Stern nixed a trade that would have sent Paul from the then league-owned New Orleans Hornets to the Lakers in a package that would have included Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom. A week later he was traded to the Clippers instead.

Paul also said he was still irritated about being patted on the head by Gasol when the Lakers played the Clippers last season, causing the two to be separated in the waning seconds of the game.

"We call that sonnin'," Paul said. "Like when I take Li'l Chris to the bathroom, I'll walk with my hand on his head. That's my son. You know what I mean? I understand that Gasol is that tall, but don't do to me what I do to my son."

The Clippers' training camp begins on Oct. 1. The Clippers will play the Lakers in a preseason game Oct. 24 and their first regular season game will be Nov. 2.

"winnig with the Clippers would be legendary"

The guy gets it. I like CP3's competitive nature. Old school.

He could be an all-time great in a lineage of rings, and great players ... or he could be THE GUY who brought a perennial loser to the promise land.

THAT'S what makes me like someone.

[SacJB Shady]

LMAO at him and Gasol. They're so cute together LOL :lol

[tmacattack33]

Here's video of when Gasol and Paul were talking crap and Gasol patted Paul on the head...

[TheMarkMadsen]

So where exactly did he take a shot at the Lakers?

what was he supposed to say? that he was upset he wasn't traded to his current teams biggest rival.

[lilgodfather1]

I like Paul's competetive nature, and honestly he is right about winning with the Clips. It would make an epic story for certain. Doesn't mean he'll stay a Clipper, but it is a good way to look at it if he does.

[taucesays]

"And winning with the Clippers would be impossible."

FTFY

[magictricked]

Gasol set up permanent camp in CP3s head. The guy's still upset about it.

[Bigsmoke]

u gotta love CP3.

lets hope him and Derrick Rose stay heathly at the same time so we can see some battles. :cheers:

Have you seen their battles the past two years?

Rose gets the better of him, consistently.

And its sad, but we don't know how hometown boy is going to recover.

[swi7ch]

They day the Clips win a title is the day a unicorn will be discovered! :roll:

[brandonislegend]

This doesn't make alot of sense after trade was vetoed cp3 was crying like a child and even thought about starting a law suit against the league.

[Mr Exlax]

This doesn't make alot of sense after trade was vetoed cp3 was crying like a child and even thought about starting a law suit against the league.

That can be 2 things though. He could've really wanted to join the Lakers or really wanted to get out of New Orleans.

[MiamiThrice]

Chris Paul is a butt hurt little midget. Dude isn't even 6 feet tall and he doesn't get Gasols attempt at good humor. Typical little-man syndrome. He's like one of those really short manlets who is insecure about his height so he tries to get bulky.

[Raz]

Whining and wanting to go to a new team is old school?

[fsvr54]

Lol, in what world is 5'11" short?

One PG will be leading a title contender the other wont. They wont be competing.

Another "gem" from one of ISH's finest Kobetards :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[qrich]

Those are shots fired? Weak :facepalm

Paul will have a spectacular season showing that he is the league's best point.

[Rnbizzle]

Dwill is actually a better player than CP3.

[LamarOdom]

Lol, in what world is 5'11" short?

Maybe not short but it's below the american average for men I think.

[upside24]

Not sure I believe him about wanting to go to the Clippers instead of the Lakers. Would make him a legend if he won though.

He's probably taller than you lol.

This has nothing to do with Kobe:facepalm standard shit quality post from you..
Not everything is Kobe vs lebron f@ggot..

IMO DWill is better than CP3. I'll even say that lebron did a better job running the point during the Olympics than Paul.. He's overrated as fu*k. Constantly complaining and flopping, career loser. Also shits me when he over dribbles and never gets a shot off before the end of qtrs.

[coin24]

This:applause:

Title contender? On what planet??

Really though, clippers will be what, 3-5 seed in the west?

Nets will be the same in the east, yeah it's a weaker conference, but if you're claiming the clippers are "title contenders" then so are the nets:oldlol:

[RRR3]

Saying Deron is better than CP3 is akin to saying Carmelo is better than LeBron or Andrew Bynum is better than Dwight Howard:oldlol:

[strifed169]

CP3 doesn't know Pau loves touching heads

[Money 23]

Maybe not short but it's below the american average for men I think.
It's not

[Crown&Coke]

eh, thats barely shots fired. CP3 has that fire in him that every ball player should have if the want to excel at the top level. Its really borderline insanity. He's like a caged lion being shown a fat ass zebra, and he can't get to it, but tries his best to.

I mean, what is the guy supposed to say? He would rather have had the first trade not nixed?

I kinda get the Pau head touching thing tho. I mean if an oppenent did that to me I wouldn't allow it either. I mean, if it is a teammate, I get it. But not someone from the other side.

CP3 has grown on me past 2 years, I used to hate his guts. Now I just hates when he flops when the ref touches him

This. I was never really a fan of him but I like his attitude on the court.

No it's actually a common debate on here and it's nothing like the other 2..
We'll see this season I guess, hopefully they both stay healthy..

Ratings nightmare for the nba:oldlol: Not going to happen..

[TheBigVeto]

CP3 can talk the talk.
I am doubting if he can walk the walk.

[joeyjoejoe]

If griffin can improve some things and odom plays well they could go far next playoffs its hard to go all the way with the level of centres they have but possible, health could be an issue but they have more depth now at most positions not sure bout del negro but hes a good recruiter and cp3>>>dwill

[Noof]

Maybe not short but it's below the american average for men I think.
Average is 5'9.5" as far as I know.

Ratings nightmare for the nba:oldlol: Not going to happen..

LA and Chicago are the 2nd and 3rd most populated cities in this country so i dont see what u are talking about.

The Bulls got FANS!!!

Here's video of when Gasol and Paul were talking crap and Gasol patted Paul on the head...

This little flopping b!tch is still upset about this. Hilarious.

Not what I meant..:oldlol:
That's entirely true, but globally and in terms of the casual fan, clippers aren't drawing the ratings they want in a finals compared to the lakers, celtics, heat etc.. They generate more of a buzz/storyline..

Bulls are arguable, they obviously were once a global icon, but since mj they've been pretty avg. yeah rose is a superstar, but the rest of the team isn't, and it's not definite if he's even going to return to his former self..

With the whole Kobe and lebron stories the nba will be milking it for as long as they can..

[Eric Cartman]

I hope they meet in the playoffs so we can't stop with all this nonsense.

sonnin' = putting your hand on a players head
x = putting your hand on a player's head after you jump over them and dunk like VC did in the Olympics

Solve for x.

Sorry, you cannot claim a city's media market when your fanbase represents less than 10% of that city's market. LA is the Lakers market. Clippers benefit not one bit from being in this town in that way.

Bulls have a large fan base thanks to Jordan though.

[joeyjoejoe]

Clippers would be a huge draw card with cp3, griffin, hill and the media also follows odom, great story line and clips heat wld be awesome

[Fiasco]

Dwill is actually a better player than CP3.

On what planet?

[Fiasco]

I hope they meet in the playoffs so we can't stop with all this nonsense.

A Lakers-Clippers hallway series would be a ratings wet dream for the NBA.

[Solid Snake]

I don't like guys like Chris Paul and Rondo. I can always tell the guys who were bullied as kids.

These two were bullied.

[Kobe 4 The Win]

They had better peices. lol Whatever you gotta tell yourself pal. :rolleyes:

Clips lost evans, kmart, simmons and gomez they added odom, hill, crawford, turiaf and hollins think thats an upgrade pal

Ya I bullied rondo!! He always looked like an alien!! Surprised how tall he's gotten since!! Still looks like an alien!! Use to call him e.t. it was always funny when he use to call his mommy, or who ever he called!! When he went home early!!:milton

P.s. yes I lie I lie!! Couldn't resist!! Sorry!!! Bad joke!!

It's been months since I seen that video!! Paul fouled pau for no reason then starts talking crap, kobe tries to go between them to avoid Paul from angering pau!! Pau taught it was funny!! Seems like he wanted to pat Paul in the back got his head by mistake!! Then Paul started crying!! (Am I wrong!!!!!!!) Look it was not a pat on top of the head!! Was a pat on the back of the head!! He could have easily have given him some thing like prison flashbacks!! From a past life!!or some thing! Because when you pat your kids in the head 80% of the time its always the top of the head!! Was all a big misunderstanding!! But Paul was crying the whole time!!! No respect for that!!!:no:
