Like his new fan base, Chris Paul is getting used to the shocking turn of events after years of being a high-profile rival of the Golden State Warriors.
And like his new fanbase, Paul, too, is getting used to the shocking turn of events after years ofJust a few days after the blockbuster trade that sent Jordan Poole and other assets to the Washington Wizards for Paul, the new Warriors point guard sat down Monday with ESPN's Malika Andrews on"NBA Today" to detail how he believes the transition from villain to teammate will go.
"It happens around this league all the time," Paul told Andrews."It’s probably the first time I’ve been in a situation like that, but when you get out there on the court with guys that are like-minded and love to play the game the same way that I love to, I’m excited about it.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
"It’s always a new process when you’re going to a new team; I’ve done it a number of times now, but I’m definitely excited about this because these guys know what it’s all about. They’ve been there. They’ve won over and over again, so I’m glad to be a part of that process." Before their storied history as on-court rivals, Paul and Warriors star Steph Curry used to train together. Curry spent the summer working out with Paul in 2009 after being drafted by Golden State, even vacationing together later that summer at Disney World. But after Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers eliminated the Warriors from the 2014 NBA playoffs, Curry came back with a vengeance the following season and torched the league -- especially Paul's Clippers.
