Chris Paul And Monty Williams Had A Heartfelt Moment After Suns Won The WCF: "Coach, I'm Trying To Calm Down."
Chris Paul is playing in the NBA Finals for the first time in his career after a terrific Western Conference Finals against his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Point God had to work really hard to be in this position. After 16 years in the league, Paul is finally playing for an NBA championship. It wasn't an easy journey for the veteran, but it was all worth it after clinching a spot in the 2021 Finals.
He shared an emotional moment with head coach Monty Williams as the game ended. You can see their excitement to reach a new goal in the league.
Williams: "Chris, you're going to the Finals."
Paul: "Coach, I'm trying to I'm trying to calm down, coach."
Williams: "You don't have to calm down."
They hugged in one of the best images we've seen this playoff. Basketball gives a second chance, and there is nothing more deserving of that than Chris Paul.
After the game was over, he reflected on his journey and all the things he went through in the past couple of years.
“From Day One, they welcomed me with open arms,” Paul said after the game. “We still got a lot of work to do, but we’re going to enjoy this — 16 years, surgeries, hard work, losses, bad losses, but we’re going to enjoy tonight.”
Now CP3 and co. wait for a rival of the Milwaukee Bucks or Atlanta Hawks. Paul is closer to winning that ring and confirming he's one of the best point guards to set foot on an NBA court.
