If you’re going to say something that will get you ejected, at least get your money’s worth.
That’s what the Warriors’ Chris Paul did Friday night, he was tossed with 6.6 seconds left in the Warriors’ home loss to the Pacers, when the game was just being dribbled out to get to the final buzzer.

What did Chris Paul say to earn an ejection? “I called him a TikToker, and I got a tech,” Paul said of his first technical from Brothers.
"I called him a TikToker, and I got a tech."

However, one technical does not get a player ejected. Seventeen seconds later, as the game was winding down, Paul told Brothers he had too much power, which led to the ejection via NBC Sports Bay Area.
Paul knew what he said would get him ejected. It’s also not that serious an offense and the league could rescind the second technical and with it the ejection and automatic fine that comes with it. Probably not though. At least Paul got his money’s worth.
