NBA veteran Chris Paul is still in disbelief after getting traded to the Golden State Warriors.
During an interview in the “Sloane Knows!” podcast, he was asked, “If a time traveler told Clippers or Rockets you that you’d be on the Warriors, what do you think you would say?”
“Hell nah. Ain’t no way. There is no way,” Paul answered.
“It’s so fun and kind of cool that it ain’t like a pink elephant in the room or whatnot, right? I remember me and (Warriors guard) Steph (Curry) worked out together in (Las) Vegas or whatnot, and a few of the coaches walked in, they saw me in Warriors gear. They was like, ‘This is crazy. Who would have thought?’ So the fact that we all can talk about it and it’s not like it’s some secret like, ‘Don’t say this, or don’t say that.,’ is really cool,” the point guard added.
Paul played for the New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans), Los Angeles Clippers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Phoenix Suns throughout his career. It was with the Clippers and Rockets that he had memorable playoff matchups against Steph Curry and the Warriors.
For the upcoming NBA season, Paul gets the chance to share the floor with former rivals Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
Last season, the 38-year-old guard averaged 13.9 points, 8.9 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game. (MJD)
