Chris Paul has long had a reputation as one of the dirtiest players in the NBA. An incident from Sunday night's matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves may only serve to prove that further.
The play came as Karl-Anthony Towns and Kevon Looney got tangled up and the ball rolled loose. Paul dove for it, but as he did, he shifted his body, almost launching himself into Mike Conley's knees. It was a really bad look for the 12-time All-Star. But was it truly a dirty play? You decide.
Almost 30 minutes after his turnover in the final seconds on Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies prevented him from attempting a game-winning shot, he still would not look up as he sat in front of his locker.
While players around him dressed, Paul couldn’t take his eyes of the tablet he was holding, which was replaying the final seconds of the game and his agonizing turnover.
As he watched the final possessions of the game, Glen Davis came over to offer some words of encouragement, as did assistant coach J.P. Clark, but all Paul could do was shake his head as he watched the video of Mike Conley stealing the ball from him and sealing the Grizzlies’ 90-87 win over the Clippers.
