Another take on CP3, Hornets
I know lots of folks are quick to point a finger at Chris Paul for what he did Sunday night, going after Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo after a game, having to be restrained from what could’ve been an ugly incident.
Hey, the Hornet point guard isn’t a saint.
Never said he was.
But if you’re looking for a good take on why CP3 might be a bit on edge, check out this Yahoo! column from Adrian Wojnarowski. He isn’t apologizing for what Paul did, but he’s attempting to explain his frustration. And in the process, he pulls no punches, especially when it comes to Hornets owner George Shinn.
A sample:
Shinn is a farce, forever insisting that his moral compass brought the franchise back from exile in Oklahoma City, but truth be told he never wanted to return. The NBA pushed him into New Orleans, understanding it would’ve been a PR nightmare to abandon the post-Katrina city. That’s Shinn, the ultimate front-runner. He now takes bows for the Hornets’ popularity, but it’s laughable.
Paul connected with Oklahoma City fans for many reasons. One of the main ones was his fiery competitiveness.
It goes a long way toward explaining why Paul may not be as warm and fuzzy as he used to be.

So what you are trying to say Jenni is that CP3 “connected with Oklahoma City fans” because he too is very narcissistic. Like Oklahoma City and its citizens, “they demand the respect” they think they deserve although nothing is ever done to “deserve it”. CP3 would still “not be as warm and fuzzy” had Bennette stolen the Hornets from New Orleans,(not that he didn’t try to),as he did from Seattle. You only have to look at the Sonics/Thunders stituation after several years of Bennette being the owner. Yes Jenni, CP3 would fit right in with the “envious” citizens of OKC that stop at nothing to get the attention they think “they deserve” and get damn mad when they are “not respected” or given it.
