After 16 years in the NBA and some excruciating postseason heartbreak along the way, Chris Paul is finally heading the his first NBA Finals.
Paul was absolutely electric in the Phoenix Suns’ closeout Game 6 victory over the LA Clippers on Wednesday, erupting for an equal playoff career-high 41 points on 67 percent shooting, to go with eight assists, four rebounds and and three steals.
Here’s how NBA players around the league reacted to the heroics of Paul and his Phoenix Suns:
Yo @Suns y’all did that. Respect. Congrats. 16 yrs a long time @CP3 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
