Chris Paul Never Thought He Would Play For The Golden State Warriors

Chris Paul had a hilarious answer when asked what his response would be to a time traveler telling him years ago that he'd be with the Warriors one day.

  • Chris Paul spent years competing against the Warriors before being traded to them this offseason
  • Paul was asked what his reaction would be if a time traveler told him years back that he’d be a Warrior
  • Paul hilariously stated there was no way he’d have believed that

Chris Paul being with the Golden State Warriors can still be a bit hard to believe, and the man himself certainly wouldn’t have ever thought this day would ever come. Paul was recently asked how he’d react if a time traveler told him during his time with the Clippers and Rockets that he’d be a Warrior one day, and he had a hilarious response.

“Hell naw, excuse my language,” Paul replied. Ain’t no way. There is no way”

If a time traveler told CP3 he’d be on the Warriors, what would he have said?

“Hell naw. Ain’t no way.” 🤣

Heck, if you’d told anyone even when last season ended that Paul would be with the Warriors in the 2023-24 campaign, no one would have believed it. Paul was one of the biggest rivals for the Warriors in the 2010s, and even the thought of him on their team was absurd.

Like so many others, Austin Reaves couldn’t believe this at first either. Reaves stated that when he heard Paul was traded to the Warriors, he thought it was ButtCrackSports spreading fake news.


Klay Thompson Spoke About The Warriors Acquiring Chris Paul

There is still a ton of skepticism surrounding this move, with many having concerns regarding Paul’s age and his fit with the Warriors. Paul is 38 years old now and the 12-time All-Star is coming off a sub-par 2022-23 season where he averaged 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game.

Warriors guard Klay Thompson explained, though, that Paul has elevated every franchise that he has played for. Thompson feels they are lucky to have him and called the veteran one of the best players ever. Klay also feels Paul will make life easier for him as a shooter, and he wants a competitor like him on the team.

This educational achievement enables Gautam to apply sophisticated analytical techniques to his incisive coverage of basketball, blending business acumen with sports knowledge.Before joining Fadeaway World in 2022, Gautam honed his journalistic skills at Sportskeeda and SportsKPI, where he covered a range of sports topics with an emphasis on basketball. His passion for the sport was ignited after witnessing the high-octane offense of the Steve Nash-led Phoenix Suns. Among the Suns, Shawn Marion stood out to Gautam as an all-time underrated NBA player. Marion’s versatility as a defender and his rebounding prowess, despite being just 6’7”, impressed Gautam immensely. He admired Marion’s finishing ability at the rim and his shooting, despite an unconventional jump shot, believing that Marion’s skill set would have been even more appreciated in today’s NBA.This transformative experience not only deepened his love for basketball but also shaped his approach to sports writing, enabling him to connect with readers through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis.
