Chris Paul and his brother never gave up on this Finals moment
C.J. Paul, 38, was a great athlete in his own right, playing college basketball at the University of South Carolina Upstate and also Hampton University.
“He could’ve given up a long time ago. ... But he continued to get better. The man is 36 years [old] and I think he is playing on the same level as when he was 22 in New Orleans. It’s crazy." - C.J. Paul
