"Like a pit bull on a tire when it comes to winning" - Channing Frye with high praise for Chris Paul and his winning mentality

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul is having a terrific run so far in the 2021-22 NBA season. He has led the Suns to the very top, putting up a 36-9 record, currently the best in the league.

In October of last year, the NBA revealed its list of the 75 best players of all time to commemorate the league's 75th anniversary. CP3 made the selection alongside other top players who have had an enormous impact on the NBA since its inauguration on Nov. 1, 1946. To celebrate these outstanding players in line with this significant milestone, the league has put together short clips for each player and tagged them as the NBA 75 Stories.

In the recently released NBA 75 Stories, Chris Paul was in the spotlight as he received high praise from colleagues and past players like Channing Frye. Also featured in the clip lauding Paul are Steph Curry, Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade and Paul's former LA Clippers teammates Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

Fyre, the former Phoenix Suns power forward, had nothing but good compliments for CP3. He commented on Chris Paul's drive to win, comparing it to a pit bull on a tire, never letting go until the very end.

"Chris Paul is like a pit bull on a tire when it comes to winning. He is going to hang on that thing until the branch breaks. You know the pit bull is on a tire and that thing just holds and locks it."
