Chris Paul is under fire for contributing to his extensive track record of unsportsmanlike behavior.
In the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 116-110 triumph over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, Paul forcefully collided with Mike Conley’s legs, triggering widespread outrage on the internet:
If the NBA genuinely values player safety, they should classify this as a Flagrant 2 foul and impose a significant penalty pic.twitter.com/wsxN22hRZg

Chris Paul’s behavior is reprehensible, and he carries it out with a casual attitude as if no one will take notice pic.twitter.com/jQAgvusAv3

It’s even more egregious because Chris Paul was once the primary adversary of Mike Conley and the Grit and Grind Grizzlies, and those players absolutely DETESTED him
remember when Tony Allen blatantly kicked him in the face during a play https://t.co/fuvAJQF03m pic.twitter.com/ubpwdj0nv1

Chris Paul did not have to descend into Conleys knee on this maneuver…He stares right where he is about to fall and then kind of directs where he is going to land pic.twitter.com/zRmZ6iNJtq

Can’t stop thinking about this move from Chris Paul last night. This is the type of action coaches should be contacting @NBAOfficial about.
CP plunging into Conley’s knees like this is so alarming, risky and utterly unnecessary. He should be prohibited.pic.twitter.com/pcaZFIBVdo

To rub salt in the wound, Conley was whistled for the foul, not Paul.
It’s a chilly, unfair world, people.
