As speculation mounts as to where future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul ends up after his likely exit from the Phoenix Suns mounts, an old interview of Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum resurfaced featuring the St. Louis native praising Paul’s game and knowledge of the sport.
“I had never heard of a 3-for-2, and the person I learned that from was Chris Paul,” explained Tatum on JJ Redick’s “Old Man and the 3” podcast (h/t Heavy’s Matt John). “The first time I heard him say it was my third year. He was in OKC, and I asked him after the game. I was like, ‘What the hell is a 3-for-2?’ He was like, ‘Basically, you shoot it at 1:05, 1:03. So then you get the ball back two more times. I literally asked him after the game.”
