The desires of NBA players to get back to games has been heard in leaks from confidential polling of the rank and file and from a conference call among some of the game's biggest stars. Chris Paul organized the phone call and as president of the National Basketball Players Association he headed up the informal poll.
But Paul went public with his thoughts Friday, appearing on ESPN’s The Jump and declaring that he - and the other players - want to play.
