Another day, another impressive win for the Phoenix Suns. They notched their seventh straight win after trumping the Utah Jazz, 115-109 on Monday night.
The Suns, however, had to play catch-up in the fourth quarter. Luckily for them, some old dude named Chris Paul is on their squad. Paul scored 15 of his season-high 27 points in the final period to salvage the victory for the Suns. He also finished with a near triple-double with nine rebounds and 14 assists in 40 minutes.
Common wisdom would dictate that a 36-year-old guy isn't supposed to be playing high-level basketball with heavy playing time. But throughout his illustrious career, The Point God has proved he is anything but common. When asked about how he feels after suiting up for 40 minutes against the Jazz, Paul answered with a grin (via ESPN).
“I feel good, I'm cool. I'll hoop again tomorrow if you want to.”
This should make his good friend LeBron James, who's a year older than Paul, extra proud. They are two of the senior citizens in the NBA but they remain among the elite guys. The Los Angeles Lakers star has frequently been asked as well about his age, but like Paul, he has proven time and again that he can still ball out. Even on a daily basis.
But while the Lakers are struggling, the Suns are leading the NBA with a 37-9 record, tying their best start in franchise history.
It's not hard to imagine CP3 and LBJ sipping wine, talking about how long they can go. Well, as of now, the answer never gets old.
