Chris Paul’s New Book Gives Candid Look at His Upbringing

Note: This interview was conducted before Paul’s trade from the Suns in June.

In late March, Chris Paul was eating breakfast at home when he decided to watch some old, family home videos. Chris’s father had recently had all the tapes accumulated over many years converted to DVD, allowing the memories to live on.

“One of the videos I came across looked like a party with my family,” Paul says. “And in walks my grandfather. And it was a video from his 60th birthday party. And it messed me up. I hadn’t heard my grandfather’s voice since I was 17.”
