The Phoenix Suns’ Chris Paul is widely popular for the way he mesmerizes people with his ability to move on the court and his calculations to create shots for his team. However, a 20-year-old player recently called out Chris Paul following the Suns’ latest loss against the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets’ rookie rising star, Jalen Green is seemingly seeing through smoke and mirrors in the game. He labeled Chris Paul for being the “ultimate trickster” on the court. He also added that Paul controlled the game by “having refs on his side“.

Fans were bewildered by his choice of words, as Chris Paul arguably has not always had a great relationship with referees. One user tweeted, “No way this is real“.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

Furthermore, fans may?remember referee Scott Foster. Paul and Foster have been feuding for over a decade now. It has been reported that whenever Foster would officiate, chances are that Paul’s team would be riddled with fouls. In other games as well, Paul has been seen giving quite an earful to his referees.

However, Green was visibly happy with his play against CP3 yesterday. During the game between the Rockers and the Suns, Green forced a travel from the 12x All-Star.

The Houston Rockets won the game 111-97, as the Phoenix Suns suffered their fifth consecutive loss. Jalen Green finished the game with 26 points and 7 rebounds. Meanwhile, Paul scored 16 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds.

Chris Paul: the Suns’ go-to man

After the loss, Paul spoke to The Athletic and said, “We are losing. It is what it is“. The Suns have been battered with inconsistency and have been notably grasping at straws recently.

At 37, Paul is easily one of the biggest veterans in the game and the vestiges of the Top 75 in the league. He has clocked in 17 seasons so far and has many awards to his name. He has also arguably been one of the best playmakers in the NBA. When it comes to difficult situations and clutch moments, Chris Paul has been the go-to person for the Suns.
