“He has been great, not only as a big brother, mentor, but he is like a friend,” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said on Chris Paul. “He is always there to lean on. He was the first guy in my life that I was close with that achieved the things that I want to achieve. And I really lean on him for advice, but not only basketball advice — business advice, taking care of your body advice, handling the family when they don’t live with you. “There are such a lot of issues that you simply cope with as an NBA participant, particularly of his caliber, that go beneath the radar. His steerage with that was nice, not solely on off-the-court points, not solely with all of the mentorship, simply being there as a pal.”

Extra on this storyline
Gilgeous-Alexander joined different teammates behind Thunder ahead Chet Holmgren throughout his postgame interview airing in China. As soon as that interview was over, Gilgeous-Alexander ducked beneath a protecting tape courtside to hug and kiss his spouse earlier than dapping a smiling Paul, who apparently had his previous teammate considering he wasn’t attending the sport. “You just lied in my face now,” Gilgeous-Alexander told Paul with a smile. “Who?” Paul said. -via Andscape / Could 23, 2025
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had simply acquired the NBA Most Beneficial Participant award when he seen one thing suspicious. There was a person sitting courtside subsequent to his spouse, Hailey, who he had by no means seen sitting in his courtside seats at a Thunder recreation earlier than. Earlier than the Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder guard may elevate his eyebrow, he realized that he had a shock customer: Chris Paul, his former teammate and mentor. “It was amazing. It caught me off guard. I had to like double take. I was like, ‘Who is that sitting with my wife?’ ” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “I got a little tight, but I saw it was Chris. And I was like, ‘Cool.’ ” -via Andscape / Could 23, 2025
Paul loved sitting courtside watching his former teammates, Gilgeous-Alexander and NBA All-Defensive first-team choice Luguentz Dort, get acknowledged for his or her greatness. “It means everything to be here,” Paul told Andscape. “You see Lu finally make his first all-defensive team. And getting to take this game in with [Gilgeous-Alexander’s wife], I’m happy for him.” -via Andscape / Could 23, 2025
