Paul and the Banana Boat Crew

Paul was asked about a very sought after topic: The Banana Boat Crew

The Banana Boat team first formed after a photo surfaced of James, Wade, Paul, and Wade’s wife Gabrielle Union on vacation in 2015. Anthony, while not featured in the picture, was on vacation with them at the time, and is considered the ‘fourth member’ of the Banana Boat Team. The four NBA superstars have been friends since they were children, and have consistently gone on vacation together. They also played together on the 2008 Olympic Gold Medal team.

Paul said,  ” I would love that opportunity, it would be fun, it would be special”

“Me, Bryan and D, almost had a chance one time, we didn’t know whose gonna wear no.3”

Paul refused to reveal any further details about the above.
