At the start of this month, Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns put up impressive performances in the Western Conference semifinals. It was especially impressive at the beginning when they faced the Dallas Mavericks and won two games.

However, they had some rough games after that where some bad decisions were involved. They had the best record heading into the playoffs, however, Mavericks came back from 2-0 to clinch the series. One of the major reasons for the downfall of the Suns was Chris Paul’s performances, and the fans ripped into him.

In addition, Paul’s situation hasn’t been great in recent weeks; especially in light of the Mavericks incident in which an NBA fan made his wife and mother uncomfortable. Following that, the scene at the courtside turned into a huge one. Paul is facing a lot of changes at the moment, but there is good news for him around the corner.

As recently, rapper Lil Wayne, in an interview, talked about how CP3 is as a human, and why is he his fan.

Wayne recently drew a conclusion to his beef with billionaire Mark Cuban and highlighted why Paul is the great human being on the earth in an interview earlier this month. He also spoke about his friendship with CP3 in the interview.
