J.R. Smith, the former NBA star, recently revealed a story from his days playing alongside Chris Paul on the New Orleans Hornets. During his rookie season in 2005, Paul annoyed Smith with his constant talking. Smith recalled the incident while speaking on his "The Old Man and the Three" podcast. Despite the rough start, the duo ultimately played big roles in the success of the Hornets. The recent disclosure has further fueled the attention on the 12x NBA All-Star, with Paul currently leading the Phoenix Suns in the NBA playoffs. Although some might find his constant talking annoying, his ability to read plays is an advantage to his team. According to his teammates and coach, Paul's film study has given him incredible knowledge of other teams' plays and their sign languages. Clearly, Chris Paul's work on and off the court has made him into one of the greatest point guards in NBA history.
