Chris Paul is undoubtedly one of the greatest point guards in NBA history, with some even claiming he’s the best pure point guard ever.
But as great as he’s always been, there have been two things that could be considered a bit of a stain on his résumé.
Starting with the obvious, his lack of an NBA championship makes some think his legacy will never be as impactful as others.
More than that, he’s always been pointed out among NBA players as somewhat dislikable.
He’s a fierce and relentless competitor who won’t hesitate to do whatever it takes to win a game, and we mean everything.
As a matter of fact, even Kawhi Leonard — who’s rarely fazed by any kind of emotion — didn’t seem to be too pleased with the Point God, as they bumped shoulders following the Phoenix Suns’ Game 2 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Needless to say, that now-viral incident prompted several reactions on social media, as some fans aren’t that fond of CP3, either.
He knew better than to bump Russ. He’s such a diet player

If they ask Kawhi about the bump with CP3.. he’s gonna quietly ask “what’s a CP3?”

Chris Paul tryna bump shoulders with a former nba champion to see if the dna will seep into his pores

Chris Paul is a legend, yet he’s been booed by the home crowd of every single one of his former teams, which is crazy to think for a guy that has turned every franchise he’s played into a playoff contender.
Still, there’s a big group of NBA fans who will always root for him and want him to win a ring, and one could argue that no other active player deserves to be an NBA champion more than him, even if you don’t like him.
