Guest of Gilbert Arenas dans on émission “No Chill with Gilbert Arenas”, Chris Paul returned to his Rockets period. Agent Zero started him on the subject, explaining that Mike D’Antoni make it clear this way:
“I remember when you were in Houston. And I was like, ‘The only thing that will make this work is if James understands his gifts and your gifts.’ As a coach you have to have tough discussions, and that discussion has to be, ‘James, until the last quarter, until the last 5 minutes, it’s your game. But in the last 5 minutes, the ball is in the hands of CP3. ” Gilbert arenas
The Rockets did not go far from the NBA Finals, beaten in 7 games by the Warriors when CP3 was injured with ischio. If the latter concedes that it would undoubtedly have been necessary to have indeed these discussions, what he regrets are his physical glitches.
You have to have these conversations. And what frustrated me the most was that in the first season I was not in good health. It’s crazy. Those years in Houston are a little hazy, to a degree, because there was so much going on back then. But damn it, we were good. We were really good. And James, I always say, nobody can score like him. This is crazy, man. … I wouldn’t trade my experience or anything, but I wish we had some of those conversations. But above all, I would have liked to have been able to stay healthy. ” Chris Paul
