I watched the NBA finals game tonight and was reminded of when I first heard the name Chris Paul. Before all of the politics in sports and if you could like a player based on their views or social media comments there were just awesome stories of amazing people doing amazing things.
The story was that his grandfather was murdered and in a tribute Chris scored 61 points as a tribute to the age his grandfather. The interesting thing that stuck with me was that he had another free throw and he intentionally shot an air ball and left the court.
I remember seeing the emotion and that story stuck with me to this day. However, it came back into my focus as a now 36 year old athlete took over a game again, but that ability is and has always been there for Chris Paul. Let's check out the footage from that game for his grandfather.
