At the Nike EYBL Session III in Kansas City, a viral clip shared by Overtime captured Paul in full mentor mode, yelling coaching to his 16-year-old son, Chris Paul II, during a Team CP3 game. The San Antonio Spurs veteran point guard is known as the “Point God,” and he is passing his knowledge to the next generation.
Chris Paul Gives Chris Paul Jr. Instructions on the Court To Snatch Win in EYBL
The Overtime clip, posted on X, showed Paul courtside, his voice cutting through the gym’s din as Team CP3 faced their opponent. In the clip, we can see Chris Paul screaming, “Chris! Make a play, stop running plays.”
The directives from the “Point God” hit the mark as CP3 secured a 61-46 victory, and Paul II contributed four points, five rebounds, and two assists. Paul’s instructions were clearly directed at his son, urging him to take control rather than defer to set plays. “He’s teaching him to be a leader,” one fan commented on X, capturing the exact sentiment we had about the moment.
However, this clip has been controversial. The official account of Overtime said Paul Sr yelled, “Sub out at any point!”, threatening his son to call back in exchange for a substitute. Paul later clarified on social media that Overtime’s caption was inaccurate.
Team Cp3’s Current Form
Team CP3, under Paul’s guidance, is a great nurturing platform for young talent, having produced NBA players like Collin Sexton and Coby White. The squad continued its strong EYBL run in Kansas City, following the All-Ohio win with a 74-64 triumph over Meanstreets.
Paul II delivered 15 points, two rebounds, and an assist. Davonta Lindsey Jr. led with 16 points, while Sherod McCormick and Andrew Juergens also shone, showcasing the team’s potential.
The Point God’s Impact
At 40, Paul remains a pillar for the Spurs, averaging 8.8 points and 7.4 assists in his 20th NBA season, playing all 82 games in 2024-25. His leadership has proved significant for young stars like Victor Wembanyama.
