Former Teammate Takes Shot at Chris Paul Following Suns' Elimination
Chris Paul has now completed his 18th NBA season, and is still searching for his first championship. The Phoenix Suns were eliminated by the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, and Paul was forced to watch from the bench with a groin injury. Following the game, Paul's former teammate with the LA Clippers Nick Young took a shot at the veteran guard on Twitter:
Young played with Paul on the Clippers in 2012, but the two were only teammates for 22 regular season games and 11 playoff games before Young went to the Philadelphia 76ers the next season.
It was an interesting comment from Young, who won an NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors in 2018. It is no secret that not all of Paul's former teammates are particularly fond of him, and it looks as if Young may be in the group of players who feels a certain type of away about the veteran point guard.
There is also the possibility that Young is just trolling or joking around, as he is known for having fun both on and off the court. Regardless of Young's true feelings behind the Tweet, it was very interesting to see him go public with those remarks as another season of Chris Paul's career ended without an NBA championship.
