Chris Paul is undoubtedly one of the fiercest competitors in the league. There’s this all-consuming fire in him. You can see in his eyes how much he wants to win. He finished 5th in the league in steals after playing all 82 games in the regular season and rightfully earned his fourth straight first-team all-defense nod.
He’s a punishing point guard with phenomenal footwork. He pounces on the ball with physicality and precision. When he’s not creating chaos by poking the ball loose, he’s just outright taking it away with aggression and activity. He just WANTS the ball more than anyone else at times, wrestling and sometimes just willing the ball away from his opponents. Chris really doesn’t care about how big the guys are in his way. He just knows that there’s someone standing between him and what he wants. He will use any advantage he has, whether that’s his quickness, or toughness, or maybe even just his savvy of being able to hit a guy in a way the ref doesn’t notice. He doesn’t care. CP knows two things more than maybe anybody in the league: heart over height and persistence perseveres.
If you’re on the fence about this video, I urge you to check it out at least until 2:15. In it, you’ll see how impressive his timing and active hands are in shutting down (and I mean shutting DOWN) transition opportunities.
This is more a redo with added clips as opposed to an outright, completely new video, so if you watch the original one I did, there's a lot of overlap. I did, however, feel like I could edit it better so I set about doing that.
