paul

was well aware of this talking to his former teammate j.j redick the point god remembered how

getting

sent to the

houston

rockets was a

wake

up

call

when i went from the clippers to

houston

that was a damn wake up call, you know what I mean, like you get there and it's like, hey, it's good to have you here, but it was no loyalty from anyone to me.

Paul shared that fitting into the offense was just one of the challenges he faced in both Houston and Oklahoma City. He said teammates were somewhat surprised after making a crazy shot or a clutch basket. He had to remind his teammates what he does best: make baskets that an All-Star would make. Paul realized that he had to prove himself once again each and every night. He finally settled in Phoenix, where he now manages the best team in the NBA and who knows, this could be the year Chris Ball wins his first ring.
