00:03I get a chance to play basketball every day and say that's my way of life.
00:07Why do I do it? For the same reason I did it when I was four or five years old.
00:10I wouldn't spend the time training and working out and hooping and being away from my family if I didn't love it the way that I do.
00:22You learn to hate to play against them, but at the same time you respect the hell out of them.
00:27You're almost honored to be on the same court so you can watch him do his thing.
00:42He's one of the smartest guys in this league. When you talk basketball, IQ, whatever the game tells him to do, he's going to go out there and do it.
00:50He's one of the most professional guys I've ever been around.
00:52If you've ever watched Chris compete, he's kind of an a**hole.
00:55He's also one of the most competitive guys that I've played against.
01:00With his age, he's not the biggest guy in the world, but the fact that he's been able to play for so long and really affect the game is just a testament to everything that he's done over the years and the way that he works.
01:11I've been on sort of my own personal journey for a while. I know a number of guys that have played and went on. The formula is sort of the formula. You know, it's seriously like you got to keep stacking days, keep sacrificing and the work will show up.
01:26I feel lucky to have coached him.
01:29I just want everyone to be able to play as long as they want to and enjoy. This NBA is crazy. You get to play basketball every day and say that's your way of life. And so I just try to pass that on to my teammate.
01:42A long time from now, I'll be able to say I got to play with Chris Paul.
01:44Playing on that stage in front of all the fans against other NBA players. Just try not to take it for granted.
