Even though things didn’t start very well for him in the first couple of games of the series, Chris Paul ended up having a blast with the Phoenix Suns. They beat the defending NBA champions Los Angeles Lakers in six games.
The veteran point guard used all his resources to beat his long-time friend LeBron James. As a result, a young but hungry team made it to the second round of the playoffs when nobody believed in them.
Beating the Lakers was a consistent, steady job for the Suns. Then, once they knew they had won Game 6 and the series, the Arizonans started celebrating, mocking their rivals at their own home.
Devin Booker trash-talked the Lakers in the final seconds of the game, asking them ‘what?’ repeatedly. At the same time, Jae Crowder parodied LeBron James’ salsa dance only to get ejected a few seconds after.
However, something that was overlooked by plenty of people was Chris Paul apparently mocking Andre Drummond for imitating LeBron James’ post moves. In prior games, a pic of Drummond mimicking Bron’s moves went viral.

Plenty of people missed these details, but the world has more fans who noticed what CP3 tried to do there.
This Suns team has nothing to lose and a lot to win. They aren’t afraid of anybody, and after beating the defending champions, their confidence must be through the roof. Led by a smart leader like Chris Paul, this squad can make even more noise in the Western Conference.
