    I’m gonna teach you guys a little lesson I learned from a few lawyers once. If you want to make a case against corruption or anything unjust, you need to make sure the client you’re going to put in front of the jury is absolutely immaculate. CP3 is not that guy. This is basically a battle of two assholes. People in the larger picture won’t give a shit, and the people giving a shit now are only doing it as a reactive response.

      What has CP3 actually done to make people talk about him like this? You’d swear he’s miles fkcn bridges the way people rip on his character

          Chris Paul is definitely both whiney and dirty, him being on my team now makes us better, but also does not change that, idk what other guy is on about

          Looking through those, not very compelling evidence that cp3 is a dirty player imo. Most of those are nothing or incidental

            I think the biggest reason people hate Chris is that he is profoundly uncool.

            He is a state farm guy.

            He cares way too much. Even when he doesn’t need too.

            He thinks he’s outsmarting his opponents when in reality his advantage is immaterial or counter acted by the fact he is being annoying and has earned people ill will. This includes some of dirty play.

            Like Jordan he clearly wants to push everyone to care like him. Which is annoying at best if you don’t have Jordan’s rings

            He enjoys and pushes people to do stuff like bowling.

            Dude is just annoying. Never mind he might be the greatest player under 6 foot of all time.

            Bro, the question was why people treat CP3 as an irredeemable character. Keep up here.

              The paragraph you wrote is genuine brain damage.

              Nobody cares about what you think you know what YouTube lawyers. There’s no criminal case going on. There’s no courtroom. Chris Paul’s conduct does not matter. If there is a problem with matchfixing by referees, it doesn’t matter if CP3 Draymond-stomped Scott Fosters sons chest.

              And then your “logic” of why CP3 wouldn’t have creditability for imaginary court is because he’s made dirty plays. I actually can’t even wrap my mind around the points you’re trying to make

                  A lesson I learned from lawyers

                  make a case against corruption

                  your client

                  in front of a jury

                  Are you seriously okay???

                  If anything comes out of this, it prompts an internal investigation where they look at Scott Fosters objectivity as a referee. Stil have 0 idea how CP3 making dirty plays in the best relates.

                    Man I don’t know what to tell you, everybody else gets the point. You’re failing to grasp the basic concept of an analogy, they taught that in high school. I can’t help you from here.

          I appreciate you taking the time for the sources, I really do. But none of this tells me Chris Paul is some terrible person. The Brunson one was completely harmless

            He didn’t say “not a terrible person”—he said “absolutely immaculate”

            Dirty basketball player means the NBA and foster can justify coming down on him harder due to prior history. You’d ideally want someone with an unassailable on court and off court record to make the accusation so the convo can’t be changed

        He’s like 2 weeks removed from just diving at Mike Conley’s knees for almost no benefit. Mike Conley…he’s the sweetest guy. Have you ever looked into his eyes? It’s like the first time I heard the Beatles.
