00:00This is a sport. This is fun.
00:03I get a chance to play basketball every day and say that's my way of life.
00:07Why do I do it? For the same reason I did it when I was four or five years old.
00:10I wouldn't spend the time training and working out and hooping and being away from my family if I didn't love it the way that I do.
00:17All the great passes in the history of this court.
00:22You learn to hate to play against them, but at the same time you respect the hell out of them.
00:27You're almost honored to be on the same court.
00:30So you can watch him do his thing.
00:42He's one of the smartest guys in this league.
00:44When you talk basketball, IQ, whatever the game tells him to do, he's going to go out there and do it.
00:50He's one of the most professional guys I've ever been around.
00:52If you've ever watched Chris compete, he's kind of an a**hole.
00:55He's also one of the most competitive guys that I've played against.
01:00With his age, he's not the biggest guy in the world, but the fact that he's been able to play for so long and really affect the game is just a testament to everything that he's done over the years and the way that he works.
01:11I've been on sort of my own personal journey for a while.
01:15I know a number of guys that have played and went on.
01:19The formula is sort of the formula.
01:21You know, it's seriously like you've got to keep stacking days, keep sacrificing, and the workers show up.
01:26I feel lucky to have coached him.
01:29I just want everyone to be able to play as long as they want to and enjoy.
01:34This NBA is crazy.
01:36You get to play basketball every day and say that's your way of life.
01:39You know, so I just try to pass that on to my teammates.
01:42A long time from now, I'll be able to say I've got to play with Chris Paul.
01:44Playing on that stage in front of all the fans against other NBA players.
01:50Just try not to take it for granted.
01:52You know, I'll be able to say I've got to play with Chris Paul.
