Chris Paul's wife Jada Paul drops 3-word reaction to Spurs star's tough choices citing son Chris Paul II's graduation speech

Chris Paul has been one of the greatest journeymen in NBA history. He spent the bulk of his career playing with the New Orleans Hornets and then Los Angeles Clippers, but he has bounced around the league ever since, especially over the last five years or so.

He's had stops with the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards, Golden State Warriors, and now San Antonio Spurs. Needless to say, that hasn't always been easy for his family.

In a sitdown this week with fellow All-Star DeMar DeRozan, the legendary point guard shed light on how difficult it has been for him and his sons to be constantly on the move. That's why, as tough as it's been, he's decided to sacrifice and move around so his children don't have to do it. He said the following on "Dinners With DeMar":

"Little Chris, when he was in Sierra Canyon here, when he was graduating from the fifth grade, sixth grade, I got to be at graduation because we happened to be in the playoffs against the Lakers. And he stood up, he said, 'I'm the kid has been to five schools in the last five years.' So that's when I made a decision.

"You know what they say: You gotta choose your hard," Paul said. "Well, I'm gonna make it hard on me, and so it doesn't have to be hard on my kids. So anybody who's listening to it is like, well, they got enough money to take their kids to whatever they want to. Like, you try to give them some type of normal."

Notably, Paul's wife, Jada Paul, shared the clip on his Instagram story by echoing the same message:

Chris Paul talks about potentially playing in the NBA with his son

Chris Paul has been in the NBA for two decades. Of course, he's inching closer to the end of his career. On December 12, Spurs legend Tony Parker had him on his podcast, and when he asked about his plans for the future, Paul admitted that he wouldn't play for much longer:

“Maybe a year or two,” Paul said on Tony Parker, Le Podcast. “I’m still trying to feel it out… I love hooping. The hardest part is when I get home and have to watch my kids’ games on the iPad.”

He also made it loud and clear that he didn't intend to replicate what LeBron James has done. Chris Paul won't hang around the league long enough to play with his son:

“Yeah, I ain’t playing that long,” Paul said. “I can tell you that right now. I am not playing that long.”

Chris Paul Jr. won't be eligible to declare for the NBA draft until 2029. That means Paul would be 44 years old by the time that happens.
