They say that there has been a noticeable change in the way road crowds react to Paul's introduction in the starting lineup this season. He is becoming a well-liked player, not just for his highlight-reel drives and passes, but also because the word is traveling around the league about how he conducts himself away from the game. None other than Tyson Chandler also contributed to the cause on his blog at NBA.com... I just love how ...
