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. 

Chris Paul and his trash-talking aren’t only limited to players of the opposing team, he does that with coaches too. Houston Rockets coach Stephen Silas once revealed how Paul manages to get into the minds of opposing coaches.

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.
