My hero of the day is Chris Paul, an NBA player for the New Orleans Hornets, on the back of this one story from last week. The Hornets were trailing the Pacers by 8 points with 3 minutes left to play. Chris Paul is having a terrible game, playing dog crap basketball and going 2-7 at that point.
Paul is preparing to re-enter the game when a Pacers fan suddenly yells out “Hey Paul, you SUCK, way to show up tonight”. Chris Paul turns around and looks at the fan with a quizzical look on his face, to which the fan heckles “Yeah, that’s right! Kobe busted your ass up last year. You didn’t even deserve to be mentioned for MVP.” Next thing you know, Paul goes crazy on the floor, going 5 for 6, gets the game-winning assist, and the Pacers lose by one.
As he walks off the floor, Paul stops, looks up at the Pacers fan and says “That loss was all your fault”.
Chris Paul is one of my favorite basketball players.
He’s quite the legend that Chris Paul.
(but FYI: he plays for the New Orleans Hornets.)
Corrected. That was an embarrassing mistake. Thank you.
