- On Tuesday, new San Antonio Spur Chris Paul talked about joining Coach Gregg Popovich's team and playing alongside Victor Wembanyama, and why he's "excited" to play for the Silver and Black.
CP3 is going to be a perfect fit for this team. GSG
True veteran leader!!! Skilled talented leader who's willing to teach but at the same time humble enough to learn from anyone who has something to share.
Can’t wait for this season to start!!!😊
Ikr
The PTB are going to usher in some bird flu as well.
Lotta respect for this dude. I gained more when he got traded to OKC and said same thing and then led them to playoffs. But now in final twilight of his career still saying the same thing and you can tell he’s so glad and excited to be in sa with pop and wemby
Disrespectful
my ngga chris always keeps it plain and simple “ man the opportunity to play i just wanna hoop “ 💯
i see it differently. i see the confidence, but if hes not the best player then he should take the vet role like rondo. Theres a lot of players talking all kinds of crazy, but stating you wanna play or hoop is different than stating i want to win, or "i want to help develop these young guys". I could be overlooking this a lot, but i really am interested in how the spurs lineup will end up as. I have a lot of faith and respect in stephon castles game, and in my opinion castle/sochan could end up being the best defensive back court in the entire nba, and they are so young. That could be a stretch, but i question if chris paul deserves the starting spot. Basically what ever the line up ends up, i think you would be dumb not to start castle.
Paul
Castle
Keldon?
Sochan?
Wemby
Castle
Keldon
Harrison Barnes?
Sochan
Wemby
What i thought
Castle
Vassell
Keldon
Sochan
Wemby
idk i just dont think you should stunt castles first year in the league at pg, i think you either start him at pg, or pull him off the bench as a 6 man and give him the primary ball handling duties.
Never thought I'd see Chris Paul with a spurs logo behind him
Some basketball veterans prefered to finish their careers in Spurs, I remember that. Truly Glard seeing Chris in the organization, young basketballers could learn lots of things from him, I'm sure they will
I never thought I would see Chris Paul with a spurs logo behind him
spurs tmac
Never thought I’d see him in a Thunder/Warriors jersey either tbh.
I’m glad he said he’s here to hoop. Not just be a mentor. Looking forward to this upcoming season!
thank u, media talk like his primary contribution is mentorship
He’s washed and almost 40 he better damn near only be there to mentor otherwise he will stunt the growth of the young players around him
he can still run and pass, its fine
Cp is blessed I hope he stays injury free and it's up!!
Glad as a leader and a vet he’s on the team it’s what the young Spurs need
Point GOD has landed in San Antonio 🔥
This is so cool!! I'm not expecting a lot from CP3 this season playing wise, but it sounds like the whole team will benefit from his presence and basketball knowledge> cannot wait!!
I think he can still hoop. I mean, he can still read, break down, and exploit a defensive scheme with the best of them, and he’s a knock-down shooter in his own right. But yeah, I 100% agree his mentorship is going to be incredibly valuable to the younger players this season. Go Spurs!!!
He helped improve Shai's playmaking/court vision game and got them to the 5-seed plus with a 0.4% chance to make the playoffs, and he helped the Suns reach the Finals in his first year there. Who knows what CP3 x Wemby will look like
Well said !! Excited to get this season going
Nice audio guys. Budget cuts?
budget cuts?? are you new here? bad 1 ear audio is a spurs tradition.
😂
It was no captions yesterday but now with captions, thank you very much for who decided to give us, not perfect English hearing foreign people, those captions…Spurs !
Hop to have it…always without asking !
Merci beaucoup ❤
Glad to have you in SA, CP. GO SPURS GO!!!
Hopefully this team will have the same mindset as CP3 and be locked in for this season. Many wins will be coming our way!
this might be the year CP gets a ring
Lmao hell no
loool I want to see spurs on top too but lets be real, they are at least three years away from the possibility of being a legit play off team and even that is generous
This is one for the old avery Johnson fans!
Crispaul wemby is going to be a movie
He said he’s not here to coach, but he’ll share if they ask him. Let’s hope they keep asking him questions. Forget Castle, what about Wemby becoming an elite passer? Dream big people!
He can make the passes his teammates can't make the baskets
Wemby can definitely pass for a 7 footer. He been showing that these past 2 games with France. And showed it last year to💪
So amazing the three HOFs still message new Spurs players and welcome them... Goes a long way.
Couldnt ask for a more perfect vet 💯💯💪 and then throw in barnes too. Man o man. These young players we have are going to blossom 👌👌
This was a great move, chris is so talented and experienced.
This is so strange to see lmao
someone please mic these reporters
Make them line-up behind a mic. Saves having them all shout out to be heard, too.
He's going to add to the overall IQ of the team. On both sides of the ball. He's not the defender he once was but he does understand the game. So after he gets an understanding of what pops wants with the things pop is going to add to help Wemby. It can't just be accidental ball anymore and guys sitting at the three-point line. Yes we need 3-point shooting but we need to create the best looks. And have guys who are a threat at mid range and three in Harrison Barnes and Chris Paul. He can help the offense see the big picture. Help them create space show how to use to pick-and-roll at a high level. Guys have to defend their man well cut thru screens eliminate drives going to the right. Make it difficult on the ball handler. When we play zone defense we can't lag off so much and make it hard to recover when we need to affect shots. We got to play tighter zone anticipate more pass perception pass the ball better as a team. Like have more pride in that pride in rebounding and take what teams give us. The more cutters we have with purpose off the ball the more easy layups easy 3 s and easy one on one match ups Wemby will have. I love that wemby shooting threes and gets alley oops. Now Wemby has to find his spots dominant before help can rip the ball and be consistent at that
coach pop's biggest fanboy trying to play for him before retiring lol. I been following cp3 since clips days and I always appreciate what he did for the valley, never thought he would go there in a billion years. All the best spurs
Had off season last year cause he was behind curry. But he still better than 80% of pg he gonna ball
He ain’t better than 30% of starting pg in the league but he’s a great vet to have as a backup and veteran presence in the lockers room
@@goldenRobot712he is a top 3 passer still in the NBA? That’s pretty much what you need from a point guard
@@Dranzerl idk about that he’s a solid vet but not a top 3 passer anymore passing is a lot less useful when it’s all you can do lebrons still better jokic better haliburton better Trae better I could keep going but his passing becomes less effedctive when he is no longer a scoring threat still a solid bet but wemby is a different breed so could resurrect cp3 a bit
My boy pulled up looking like the assistant coach😂
Nah
With CPs veteran presence and basketball IQ along with Wemby's freak of nature physique its guarenteed mulitple rings
chris paul retiring with 0 rings💀
yeah i’m a spurs fan and even this is a wild take my guy lol
bro, chris paul probably going to retire before Wemby gets a ring realistically
Chris paul legit said he came here to stop ring chasing
Welcome to the Spurs Chris! I still don’t forgive him for 2015 😅
The San Antonio highlights factory is ready.
Welcome to the Spurs, CP!
What we always needed. Go Spurs Go
I'm pretty sure he already met the spurs legends for a dinner or something.
The ultimate privilege and initiation
That's it !! Back to the playoffs !! 💪
Jus because of washed Chris Paul I don’t see it
He should lead the league in assists this year with guys like Wemby, and Barnes in the corner three spot...
He'll avg a double-double at 25m/game
His attitude and love for the game plus Victor is finna be scary for the league
Good luck Chris let this man play basketball with the kids and he will help the spurs growth and play with confidence 😊
Point God. We are honored 🙏
The lobs finna be crazy lol
I think one of his biggest assets as far as being a leader for the younger players is just how hot his competitive fire burns. They're all professionals, they're all competitors, but I think CP3 might offer an great example of taking that to the next level.
He will always have my respect, straight killer and true floor general
Chris Paul will be a coach. He’ll be fine you’ll see 💎🙏🏽🏆
Excited to see what team CP3 ends up on next season
As a Spurs fan I've hated CP3 so much over the years. But in hindsight, he's just like Manu in that he'd do whatever it takes to help his team win. I'm sure fans of many teams hated Manu for the same reason, flops and all.
Funny enough CP3 is actually top of my wishlist for FA this off-season knowing what he can do for Wemby without breaking the bank. Now with Castle as an understudy this can't work out any more perfectly. GSG!
Hey, KSAT, WTF is wrong with your audio...you can't afford to record in stereo? smh
He should have come to us a long time ago. I'm so excited for this.
CP3 welcome to San Antonio ! Rather have you bring up the ball and draw plays up and dish out to our guys for open , smarter basketball and mentor these youngins as you ball up
Good luck CP3 with the spurs go spurs go
Will have a future coaching career for sure.
I watch all his games!
He finally acknowledged the push off on Danny green 😮
Great pickup for the spurs, i miss him on the suns
He's fit for the spurs! let's go SPURS 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I ended up w a boxer fracture punching a metal door after CP3 PUSHED OFF on Danny Green to beat out the Spurs... HE OWES ME A WINNING SEASON LOL
I’ve never hated Chris Paul and I’m so hyped to have him on our squad!
Could be pop's assistant in a couple of years
He's replacing Pop...eventually. Pop could keel over during the season.
That is what I've been saying. Chris has learned from the best NBA active coaches: Doc Rivers, Steve Kerr and now Greg Popovich.
I hope it works out for him
give the journalists the mic so we could hear the question....
I aint a fan of Spurs or CP3, but I want to be a fan cuz I just feel that this is a good combination! I feel like Pop will love CP3 so much he probably gonna let him coach! lol
Im sure he will be a starter and get good minutes. I dont think cp3 would have accepted coming to the spurs if that wasnt going to be the case. He was probably like "As long as i start and get to play then im in."
Guys get a mic for the reporters or at least caption the questions being asked.
CHAMPIONSHIP SEASONNN LETS GET THAT ROCKK
Coach (🐐) Pop now has another Court General.. 🫡
8:09 No if, ends or buts. It was a push off. Now you’re a spur so all is forgiven. GSG we playoff bound.
The best untalked about offseason move this season. The Pick and Roll with Wemby will be insane
hes the greatest pure point all time.
He will get them in the playoffs watch,he couldn't be himself in Oakland this guy lives for helping underdog teams,spurs will be 7th seed watch Harrison Barns is a perfect pick-up also,2 experience vets that will provide great leadership to this Spurs organization!!!!!
Let’s see a ten win improvement, I’ll be happy with that. Welcome CP
Why is there just sound on the left earbud
He is going to move right into coaching with pop when he is done.
This may be a Chris Paul-Tyson Chandler alley oop-type thing this year with Wemby.
Wamby better go to the gym asap he might be mvp. Chris is a gr8 floor general and plays defense the right way. Pop will work this out....im still a rockets fan so welcome back to Texas and the woodlands
My left ear enjoyed this
Deserves to make it out of the 1st round before he retires.
Is there anyway you could make it so we can hear the questions ask?
Unless they pass around a microphone, that’s how all press conferences are.
Thanks
CP3 will really elevate this young team
He's accepted his fate
The guy is a beast
He should have a good year
I think I figured it out
CP
Not only do I get to try and elevate a once in a generation player
I can canvas for a job to fill the spot of THE GOAT
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 ok CP
I see you 😎
Don’t be surprised if they make the playoffs. Not saying they will get out of first round or compete for a title but deff playoffs
Its sad to know that CP3 cant win any ring in nba anymore but at the same time excited to see him guide generational talent guy like Wemby
He has now played for half of the teams in the west
He’s gonna start at point guard which will help Wemby a lot
I wish Melo was still in the league
Why ain't nobody tell me CP3 came to TX?
He could put up his best numbers in assists this season w/ wemby as his biggest target
Point God says he’s ready to learn from Pop and coaching staff.
how hard is it to get a boom mic to hear these reporters speak 😭
go spurs go baby!
I just wanna play but also be paid the most I can lol.
Undoubtedly, Chris Paul is destined to become a first-rate coach. His professionalism and determination cannot help but improve the basketball IQ of his young teammates.
CP3 representing Spurs colors already. GSG!!!
7 years too late, buddy.
All that love and adulation he bestowed upon Pop over the years but never wanted to play for him til he was at the tail end of his career.
Salute to CP3. He just wants to play ball and go out on his terms. All this ring b.s is ridiculous. He got close with the Suns. It happens.
If they were to draft Cooper Flag, I could see spurs winning a lot in the future.
Thats good
cp3 at the point of his career to join a team to say he was teammates with one of the future GOAT. sad to see he will end his career with no championships
bro said 20 year olds are younger than they've ever been
