Chris Paul In Action On Sports Illustrated Cover

27 April, 2011

by

Chris Paul has been all the rage during this first round of NBA Playoffs. He has given his all in an attempt to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers and reminded folks that he is one of the most talented and able point guards in the League.

Paul finished the Hornets 90-106 loss to the Lakers with a record matching double-double of 20 pts and 12 assists.

The true test will be whether or not he and his teammates can knuckle down and push the Lakers to a Game 7.

Hmmmmm……..
