NBA ALL-STAR WEEKENDFebruary 13, 2016Chris PaulToronto, Ontario Q. How's the weekend going for you so far? CHRIS PAUL: The weekend's been cool. Busy, busy, a lot of stuff going on. I don't even remember the last two days really. We just got done with practice and what time is it? That's the question. Seriously, what time is it? 1:00. I've got to be somewhere else. I've got an a appearance right from here. Q. What is the highlight that you look forward to? CHRIS PAUL: The highlight that I look forward to are events like last night. The Jordan dinner and Jordan party that we had. I had a great time. MJ honored Kobe. And spending time with the other guys, like me, Russ, Melo, KD, all of us were together and got a chance to talk and catch up a little bit. Q. Can you imagine how tough it's going to be for Team USA to make cuts for the Olympic team? CHRIS PAUL: Oh, man, I didn't even think about that? I'm sure it's hard, but it's a good problem to have. Other people aren't that fortunate to have a pool of this many great players. Q. On Team USA: CHRIS PAUL: Yeah, I think I still remember 2006 [when Team USA won bronze at the World Championship]. We really had tryouts, you know what I mean? You think about it, you get to the highest point of your professional career, the NBA, and we had tryouts for the USA team. I remember diving on the floor against Luke Ridnour and stuff like that. So when you think back like that, that puts it all in perspective. Q. That first appearance [2006], you guys were young men. People look at this years from now and see a team with Chris and Dwyane and Carmelo and LeBron actually lost a game. CHRIS PAUL: Yeah, 2006, a lot of people probably couldn't name that team if you wanted to. We had a lot of guys -- Kirk Hinrich, Elton Brand, Brad Miller -- there were a lot of guys on that team. I think us losing in 2006, we got some grief. Us losing that game is why we haven't lost since. FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports   |
