Like any number of aging veterans trying to keep their bodies limber and ready for an NBA game, Chris Paul sometimes takes his rests sitting on the baseline floor where the hard surface is better for his back, and he can stretch out a little.
He was feeling so comfortable down there as the Clippers crushed the Cavaliers Thursday that he turned around and got into a selfie taken by a fan, plus he casually chatted with the people courtside.
He could afford to be relaxed — the Clippers showed some mental toughness and maturity, bouncing back from a three-game losing streak to get a big win on the road. CP3 had to feel good.
