Chris Paul x Air Jordan 1 Low Coming Soon: Details

by

Chris Paul is one of the most hated players in the NBA right now. Overall, this has a lot to do with the fact that he tries to bait the referees. Moreover, he complains a lot, which rubs fans the wrong way. However, you cannot deny that CP3 is one of the best point guards to ever play the game. Although he still doesn’t have a championship to his name, that could all very well change this year. His Suns just knocked off the Los Angeles Clippers in five games, and they are now staring down the Denver Nuggets.

When it comes to Chris Paul, you have to mention his sneaker deal with Jordan Brand. Paul has been with Michael Jordan’s brand since all the way back in 2006. Overall, Paul has had a few great PEs and colorways come out during this time. Although it has been a while since we have seen one, it does appear as though something new is on the horizon. According to SneakerBarDetroit, Chris Paul is about to receive his very own scheme of the Air Jordan 1 Low.

A Chris Paul x Air Jordan 1 Low collaboration seems like a fantastic idea for a plethora of reasons. The Air Jordan 1 Low is one of those shoes that is having itself a massive moment. That said, it only makes sense that the brand would give one of its biggest stars a colorway. As it turns out, this color scheme will largely be neutral as “Light Cream/Light Cream-Sail” are the colors listed. Overall, we do not have any official images of these. However, some should be on the way soon.

Moreover, the sneaker has been given a tentative release date of October 24th. Although, this has yet to be confirmed directly by Jordan Brand. Let us know your hopes for this upcoming sneaker, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sneaker world.

Twitter Reacts To Chris Paul Breaking Bizarre Losing Streak

by

Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns earned their first playoff win on Tuesday. The Suns took care of the Los Angeles Clippers 123-109. However, the game was more than a win for the Suns and Paul. The legendary point guard got his first win while NBA official Scott Foster was calling his game. Paul had previously been 0-14 when Foster officiated one of his playoff games. Now Paul can celebrate finally earning a victory while the longtime official was on the clock.

Paul’s record with Foster has been a huge topic on social media. Every time the official announcements are made for a Paul playoff game, everyone searches for Foster’s name. However, it is unknown if there is real beef between the two. The longtime losing streak could just be a part of a strange coincidence. However, that doesn’t stop Twitter from running with the narrative. Check out some of the best Twitter reactions below.

Chris Paul Defeats His Playoff Nemesis

After the game, Paul claimed that he didn’t even realize the win with Foster on the court. However, something tells me that may not have been the entire truth. Paul finished the game with 16 points and 8 assists, with nearly 38 minutes of action. Now that Paul has the ugly history with Foster behind him, maybe a new streak begins. It has yet to be revealed who will be officiating Game 3 of the Clippers-Suns. But it would add to the drama seeing Foster’s name on that officiating lineup card. A move that could easily be done by a league looking to create drama.

Whatever the case may be, the Suns are focused entirely on the Clippers. The first two meetings between the teams have been great games. Now the Suns will have to travel to Los Angeles in hopes of bringing back a series lead to Phoenix. Do you believe that Chris Paul kept up with his playoff record with Foster? Have the Suns found a rhythm after their Game 2 victory? Give us your thoughts on Paul’s record-breaking game in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, keep it locked in here with HNHH.

Shannon Sharpe’s Hot Take On Westbrook-Paul Debate

by

Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless had an interesting debate on Friday’s edition of Undisputed. The co-hosts were given a difficult question to debate on. They were asked who has had the better career. Chris Paul or Russell Westbrook? Sharpe brought up many statistics that some may not have known on the similarities between the two. Obviously, neither superstar has won the NBA Championship. However, both have a career resume that will have them in the Hall-of-Fame one day. But just whose career has been better?

Sharpe stated that the question was a difficult one to answer. But ultimately, Sharpe chose Westbrook. Sharpe stated that, in his opinion, Westbrook wasn’t supposed to have the career he has had. While Paul had high expectations from the moment he was selected. Westbrook has defied many odds during his 15-year career. Including becoming the MVP of the league. However, Paul is no slouch and has earned many accolades during his time in the league. Check out the debate between Sharpe and Bayless below.

Shannon Sharpe Believes Westbrook Has Exceeded Expectations

Sharpe is of the belief that Paul has answered the call on his expectations. But that doesn’t mean that is a slight to the Phoenix point guard. Paul’s expectations were high, and he has absolutely delivered. A fact that led Bayless into choosing Paul during the debate. No matter what side of the aisle you stand on, no one can debate their greatness. Westbrook and Paul will both go down as some of the greats of their generation. Something that is difficult for anyone to achieve.

However, both are still not finished writing their legacy. The two will actually meet in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs. The Suns and Clippers matchup will be can’t miss basketball. Potentially the winner of this series could become an NBA champion for the first time. So, who will earn the bragging rights between Westbrook and Paul? Are you on Shannon Sharpe’s side of this debate? Please leave us your thoughts on the debate in the comment section.

Chris Paul Locked In For NBA Finals Run

by

Chris Paul’s career resume already has the Phoenix guard among the greats in league history. Undoubtedly, Paul will join the greats in the Basketball Hall of Fame. However, the future Hall-of-Famer is missing one massive accolade. Paul has yet to become an NBA champion. An accolade that has long been on the veteran guard’s mind. However, this season may be Paul’s best chance at hosting the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy. Paul recently discussed what winning the championship would mean to him.

Paul recently spoke with Mark Medina of the Sportsnaut on the chances of a championship run. “I appreciate it. No one wants it more than I do,” Paul stated when discussing Damian Lillard’s comments on wanting to see Paul win a ring. As it currently stands, Paul is one of the greatest NBA players to never win a ring. A group that no superstar player wants to be a part of. But Paul realizes his chances of catching that elusive ring are dwindling. Especially with his recent luck of attempting to stay healthy.

Chris Paul Preparing For Potential Finals Run

The physical and mental work that goes into an NBA season can be exhausting. Many of the current playoff teams have dealt with the injury bug. The Suns are no exception. However, Paul and his team are not using that as an excuse. Injuries are a part of the game. Even without all the injuries, this team can still make it all the way to the NBA Finals. Paul has been on many great teams. However, the talent on this Suns roster may be the best in the entire league.

The Suns will open the 2023 playoffs with a strong matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers are a team full of stars, just like the Suns. But the Clippers will more than likely be without Paul George for the duration of the series. The Western Conference looks to be anyones for the taking. Has the time finally come for Chris Paul to become an NBA champion? If not the Suns, who are your favorites to win it all? Please give us your opinions in the comment section.

Phoenix Suns Stars To Miss Friday’s Game

by

The Phoenix Suns seem to be preparing for the NBA Playoffs. The team dropped massive news on the availability of their roster for Friday’s game. The Suns have announced that Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Ayton will be unavailable on Friday. However, the Phoenix stars will not be missing due to injury. But instead, they will be sitting out to rest up for a playoff run. The news of their availability may affect the Lakers far more than the Suns.

The Lakers are still fighting for playoff positioning. As the Suns have locked in the fourth seed in the West. The Lakers are hoping to avoid the play-in tournament at all costs. As the team is seventh in the West, meaning they are currently in the tournament. The Lakers recently took a tough loss to the Clippers. Which took the team out of the running for the fifth seed. However, the team can still earn the sixth seed. With Phoenix resting most of their starting lineup, the Lakers have a great shot at earning a victory.

Phoenix Suns Resting All-Star Cast

Durant recently talked about game planning for the playoffs. The Phoenix Suns star believes every team knows what to expect. As he mentioned, every team has the game plan for one another. The time for talk is over. Now the games will be decided by the talent on the floor. But even with the team sitting their stars, the win isn’t guaranteed for the Lakers. The Lakers have had their own issues with health this season. LeBron James and Anthony Davis have both missed action this season.

Teams are now making decisions regarding their playoff seeding. The Suns cannot gain ground from winning anymore. Which is a way the team could be resting their biggest stars. Fans around the league will be following the injury reports closely this weekend. The final playoff positioning won’t be known until Sunday. Which will be the last day of the regular season. Who will be the teams to make the Western Conference play-in tournament? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest breaking news involving the NBA, stay locked in with HNHH.

Kevin Durant’s Hilarious Reaction To CP3 Statement

by

Kevin Durant made his long-awaited return to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night. After a freak accident caused Durant to miss time, the Suns are finally at full strength. It wasn’t the return that Durant or Suns fans had hoped for. However, don’t expect too many poor performances from the future Hall-of-Famer. Durant’s teammates don’t seem too worried about the performance. Chris Paul, Durant’s new point guard, had a little fun with his new teammate.

Paul spoke with the media on Durant’s offensive struggles on Wednesday night. During his comments, Paul took a fun shot at Durant. CP3 jokingly stated, “Most times, he’s just going to miss. Not too many people that’s ever going to make him miss. I’m probably one of the only people that used to do that.” After the comments, Paul grabs Durant’s attention to let him know what he said. All Durant could do was laugh off the situation.

Kevin Durant Has Fun With Poor Shooting Night

Team chemistry off the court isn’t an issue with the Suns. Paul and Durant have been around long enough to know these nights happen. Obviously, both players have more good nights than bad. Once Durant finds his rhythm again, the Suns will be a tough playoff elimination. Phoenix is getting healthy at the right time. With the playoffs just around the corner, health is the most vital positive for the team. Paul definitely has welcomed Durant to Phoenix with open arms.

It’s okay to laugh at yourself after a tough moment. Last game only proves that Durant is human. Not the Durantula character that many see him as on a nightly basis. The NBA season is a long one. Being serious night in and night out isn’t an attainable goal. The Suns have just five games remaining in the regular season before the NBA Finals quest begins. Do you think the Suns are a credible threat to winning the title? If not the Suns, who will be NBA Champion? Give us your predictions of the NBA Finals in the comment section below.

Steph Curry Tells Chris Paul “This Ain’t 2014 No More”

by

Steph Curry is one of the greatest players to ever step on the basketball court. Although he may not be as versatile as someone like LeBron James, there is no denying his talents. Curry made a name for himself by shooting three-pointers, and he has proven to be the best ever at doing so. Overall, he has the three-point record, and he still has plenty of years left in him. This is great news for Warriors fans, who are hopeful that the team can continue its dynasty.

Last night, Curry went up against another legend of the game. Of course, we are talking about Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns. The Suns and the Warriors are two teams that are expected to do well in the postseason. Consequently, fans were looking forward to this matchup. Ultimately, it was the Golden State Warriors who came out victorious here. Moreover, Curry and Paul went at it which led to some amazing trash talk. For instance, down below, Curry can be heard telling Paul, “This ain’t 2014 no more.”

Steph Curry Vs. Chris Paul

Although Paul isn’t the same player he was nearly a decade ago, he is still a very solid facilitator out on the floor. However, last night, Curry certainly got the better of CP3. Curry finished the game with 23 points, while Paul finished with 11. Furthermore, Curry’s teammate Klay Thompson ended the match with 38 points, 33 of which came in the first half. Luckily for the Warriors, Kevin Durant is injured. Had KD been available, you would have to think the game would have gone much differently.

The Suns and Warriors are two teams who could very well be on a collision course in the postseason. Depending on how the seedings pair up, these teams could face each other in the first round. However, they could even face each other in the Western Conference Finals. This would be a phenomenal matchup that NBA fans are certainly rooting for. Let us know what you think of Curry’s trash talk, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Chris Paul For Kyrie Trade Offer Revealed

by

Chris Paul and Kyrie Irving are two of the best point guards in the entire league. However, only one of these men is constantly involved in drama. Case in point, Kyrie asked for a trade from the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. This request came after a week of long-term contract negotiations. Overall, Irving felt insulted by the Nets’ contract stipulations and made it clear he wanted out. This ultimately led to a trade to the Dallas Mavericks. It was a big move by the team, and fans are curious as to how it all plays out.

At this point, you may be wondering how Chris Paul is involved in any of this. After all, he has been playing great basketball for the Phoenix Suns. In fact, just a few years ago, he helped the Suns get back to the NBA Finals. Sure, they didn’t win, although he is still a valuable member of the team. However, the Suns were willing to trade him to the Nets for Kyrie. In the end, the Nets ultimately chose the Mavericks as they had the better package.

Chris Paul Trade Package

According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, the Suns were going to send numerous picks, as well as Jae Crowder alongside Paul. The Nets made it clear that they wanted an extra pick, although the Suns wouldn’t do it. As a result, they chose the Mavericks who were feeling a bit more desperate than the Suns were. With all of this being said, a tandem of Devin Booker and Kyrie Irving would have been very interesting. If I’m a Suns fan, however, I’m very happy with keeping CP3 until further notice.

Moving forward, the trade deadline is in only a few days. It all goes down on Thursday, February 9th and it seems like some big trades could be made. For instance, if KD is upset with Kyrie’s departure, he may just demand a trade, once again. Moreover, teams like the Lakers are desperate to improve their roster ahead of a postseason push. No matter what, the next few days will be a ton of fun. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the NBA.
