Who knew Chris Paul had a little bit of Phil Jackson in him?
Paul is the unquestioned leader of the Los Angeles Clippers, as he is making things happen like being able to get coaches fired or hired.
Paul, though, chose to prop up power forward Blake Griffin when the conversation turned to getting the Clippers over the hump. Paul says that the Clippers will only go as far as Griffin takes them.
“Blake is one of those guys, where his age has nothing to do with anything,” Paul said, via ESPN Los Angeles. “People may say he’s a young guy, but he’s been special in this league, he’s been an All Star. His voice carries a lot of weight and I think our team will definitely go as Blake goes.
“He’s our guy, and he’s good enough to do so.”
I think we shall find out this season if Blake Griffin is truly soft or not this season.
