Chris Paul was finishing up his media interviews over Zoom with reporters 1,000 miles away from him, seated on a stool in front of a blue NBA backdrop. From behind the camera, an extra reporter sidled up to sneak in a question.
“What’s it like having SGA as a teammate?” said the familiar voice.
“It's kind of like having an older version of Little Chris around,” Paul smirked, referencing his 11-year-old son, and dishing it back to his understudy, teammate and friend - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
The second-year Thunder guard has been attached to Paul’s hip for the past 10 months since the team got together in September for unofficial workouts at the Thunder ION.
