Former NBA star had huge praise for Chris Paul playing in his 20th NBA season
Fans have witnessed Chris Paul dominate the NBA as a point guard over the years. Paul is still often overlooked when discussing the greatest point guard of all time, despite his many honors. The absence of championship rings is the primary cause.
However, Paul recently received the praise he deserves from NBA legend Dwyane Wade. Wade took to Instagram to shower praise for the NBA veteran.
Wade posted a photo of Zaire Wade, the son of the three-time NBA champion, playing with Paul. Longtime friends Paul and Dwyane Wade have always respected one another both on and off the court. Wade’s kind gesture of shouting out to his longtime league mate moved the fans.
