Chris Paul is considered one of the best players to never win an NBA championship. With more than a decade in the NBA, CP3 is looking better than ever.

Savage Chris Paul bullies the Indiana Pacers team
CP3 has been on fire this season. He is leading the team by example and the Phoenix Suns have the best record in the league currently.
During the dominant outing against the Indiana Pacers, Chris Paul can be heard roasting a young pacers team.
Paul says while talking to his teammates, “Hey! They can’t f***ing shoot. Back up.” He then went on to tear the Pacers’ defense with a piercing run. Although it did not end in a point for the Suns, CP3 has certainly still got it.
CP3’s unique trash talk methods
If the game against the Indiana Pacers wasn’t evident enough, Chris Paul loves to get into the minds of his opponents.

Talking on The Matt Thomas Show, Silas mentioned, “He’s right at the top as far as talking trash. Telling a coach it’s time for a timeout. It’s awful, it’s awful (laughs).”
Silas adds, “There are very few guys who can actually back it up and he’s been doing it for a long time. He’s one of those guys that you’d probably love to have on your team but when he’s on the opponent’s team you probably don’t love him too much.“
