Exclusive: Chris Paul remembers his friend, rival and mentor, Kobe Bryant. 💜
Shortly after news of Kobe and Gianna's deaths broke in January, Chris took to Instagram to pay tribute to the legendary NBA star, whom he and his teammates competed against for years on the court. Chris played professional basketball for the New Orleans Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets before joining the Thunder in 2019.
Additionally, Chris has also teamed up with Kobe various times over the years. The two recently represented the Western conference during the 2016 NBA All-Star Game in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, along with players like Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Chris also won two Olympic gold medals -- in 2008 and 2012 -- with Kobe.
"I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully process it. My parents have always said everything happens for a reason and its in God’s plan. But this one is different. Broken fingers, torn Achilles, it didn’t matter. You overcame it all!!" Paul captioned his tribute post.
"The love you had for the game was nowhere near the love you had for YOUR girls!! All 5 of them!!" he continued.
