3 yrs later: Kenyon was right. You do need a PJ Tucker 5:31. Milwaukee got him. In Game 6 of the finals, he played 36 min, only took one shot and didn't make it, had 0 pts, and now Milwaukee are champions. 🏆

Doesn't this interview make sense that even after losing to MIL, he still manages to coax the PHX front office for millions of dollars at his age let alone knowing the odds will not be in his favor again to reach the NBA Finals? Chris Paul is in business for himself which is why he isn't trusted amongst his teammates. Given time Booker and Aayton will realize that while they played to win, he played to sell a star-hungry Robert Sarver a bad bill of goods.

Westbrook did that with KD he would give it to KD with 5 sec on the clock and KD would do something crazy to score and get Westbrook the assist. cP3 has never had that kind of talent around him, if anything he made guys look more efficient than they actually were because he knew exactly how to optimize their shots.

[@ericsmith2890]

Okay for those of you wondering what Kenyon is saying that cp3 is selfish despite having great assist number I’ll explain: he says “it’s either an assist or a turnover.” What he’s talking about is half court creation. It’s what I think is the same frustration some teammates like kyrie had with lebron. The joy and beauty of basketball is creation. Every players dream even guys like deandre Jordan is to be a part of creating a beautiful basketball play. When chris Paul brings the ball up you get forced to create basketball in the way he wants it to be created because he dominates the ball and how it’s created and he’s such a genius that he immediately will shut down anyone else trying to create in a way he seems less efficient then his way; thereby limiting others joy which many players who love creating themselves see as selfish. (And often leads to a lack of commitment to defense). Kobe and Jordan were selfish players but we’re geniuses at understanding when their teammates needed to create to feel involved which would give them the energy to play elite defense, while also saving their teammates physical energy by doing the heavy lifting in terms of scoring. This in my opinion (along with better secondary stars ofc) is why they have won significantly more championships then cp3

[@NYBK82]

Aa

[@yoooo3231]

Dam... Well explained

[@rtsneed2061]

Exactly. And people swear they know the game of basketball

[@emmanuelsegun6148]

I understand what he means by CP3 being selfish but imo it's more selfish to complain about that. CP3 constantly led the Clippers to the #1 offense while on-court you can't fault that. It's like complaining about LeBron holding the ball for too long. For example, if a player takes 30shots and only misses 1 shot are you going to tell him to stop shooting? I think players should just try do whatever is best for the team.

[@ericsmith2890]

Emmanuel that’s a very fair sentiment. But if you were an excellent player who played with another excellent player and they shot 60-60 every game and you never took a shot but you won every game would you still be motivated and want to stay on that team? Most people can stay motivated in that scenario for one or two games but by the third game you’re like okay can I at least take a few shots? And you start to disengage on defense because on offense you’ve lost focus. Human nature is key when understanding how to win championships and I feel like cp3 hasn’t quite figured out how to keep teammates engaged in big games and I feel like lebron lost this when in Cleveland (cuz his team sucked) but that he had it in Miami cuz he respected D wade and bosh to create. (Always top 5 defenses in Miami bottom 5 in Cleveland)

What is Kenyon saying... Chris Paul is a selfish basketball player..? Ridiculous. I'm not even a Chris Paul fan

[@jimmyfuckthechainofcommand4332]

slamandjam2 He's been accused of the LeBron/Wall/Westbrook variety of ballhogging sometimes. Where you essentially hold the ball and call all plays such that you get half or more of the assists without actually creating a true offensive system or ball movement.

[@uchealozie6061]

Fam I’m tired. The player who doesn’t care about scoring but trusts his teammates too much (something I believe is his biggest weakness) is somehow the selfish player.

[@xXSprMgaAwsmFxyHtXx]

No, he's a selfish teammate. Like in off the court situations he's selfish. His basketball point was that he either scores, assists, or turns it over. He doesn't like working off of the ball unless he knows he's getting a pass to shoot.

[@versatillion15]

And how is he, at age 36, the second best paid player in the league. He makes 16 million more than Jrue Holiday this year and is scheduled to make 13 million more next year. Which is exactly what KMart is saying. Pumping your own stats pays off. Never liked CP3 and I am glad he lost.

[@tb2957]

His contract..

[@anthonybencivenga1819]

Doesn't this interview make sense that even after losing to MIL, he still manages to coax the PHX front office for millions of dollars at his age let alone knowing the odds will not be in his favor again to reach the NBA Finals? Chris Paul is in business for himself which is why he isn't trusted amongst his teammates. Given time Booker and Aayton will realize that while they played to win, he played to sell Robert Sarver a bad bill of goods.

Rondo was notorious for holding on to the ball until he knew a guy was going to get a basket.

Look this is for both group of fans on here CP3 fans- Kmart makes valid points and I’ve also heard CP3 isn’t the most pleasant teammate either just because he’s talking down on him in a sense doesn’t mean he’s a hater Kmart fans- He’s kind of being hypocritical because I’m sure he would take Kobe and MJ any day on his team and I’ve also heard they weren’t the best teammate the only difference was that they were better and were put in a situation to win more than Chris Paul who I believe is overlooked and somewhat underrated because of the never making a conference final (until now) that’s what it is

[@chupeicycling1668]

noticed this about him a long time ago, this is why he is a notch lower than the other hosts, skip, shannon, max, SAS etc, at least those guys actually believe(or put on a act) that they mean what they say, most of the time colin just says something stupid and when the guest comes back at him, you see nothing on his face(no emotion, not mad nor triggered) cause he doesn't even mean/believe what he says and moves on to the next subject like his previous comments never happened.
