ORLANDO, FLORIDA - Chris Paul said he is tired, just simply tired of the same type of situation occurring over and over when it comes to social-justice issues in America.
"Right now, what we're doing in our league is huge," Paul said on Friday, during media availability shortly after the NBA announced it will resume play on Saturday. "It's emotional, especially when you're a black man... We're all tired of seeing the same thing over and over and everybody expects us to be OK because we get paid great money. You know, we're human. We have real feelings and I'm glad we got the chance to get in a room together to talk with one another and not just cross paths and say 'Good luck in your game today.
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old Paul is finding that being in the"bubble" near Orlando isn't the best scenario when something like the shooting of Blake occurs. He said he knows his kids have heard about the seven shots that were fired and that Blake is currently paralysed from the waist down. Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley reportedly had a tense confrontation with National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts, according to a report by Yahoo Sports.
