Chris Paul made some intense allegations against Scott Foster after their most recent interaction. As some NBA fans might be aware, there has been some form of spite between the NBA star and the official for several years now. Several statistics have pointed out that the odds of Paul winning a game refereed by Scott Foster were unexpectedly low.
In the Golden State Warriors’ most recent game against the Phoenix Suns, Paul and Foster had an interaction that ended with Chris Paul being ejected from the game. It was also no real surprise to see that the Phoenix Suns ended up winning that match.
In the postgame interview, Chris Paul discussed his ongoing conflict with Scott Foster. He even subtly implied that Foster had taken some personal shots at Chris’ family. Since this is certainly news to the majority of the basketball community, let us take a closer look at what CP3 had to say on the subject.
Why was Chris Paul ejected?
Unfortunately, neither Chris Paul nor Scott Foster had microphones on, fans are unable to know the exact words that were exchanged. Their interaction began after Chris Paul was called for a foul on Kevin Durant during the second quarter of the game. When KD drove to the basketball, CP3 appeared to be holding onto his waist.
As soon as Foster made the foul call, Chris began to start discussing his perspective with him. As time passed, their argument seemed to be picking pace. Soon Scott Foster decided he had enough. He called two technical fouls on Chris Paul as their conversation escalated and had him ejected from the game.
Later CP3 was interviewed and discussed how his feud with Scott Foster has been going on for years. Additionally, Paul also claimed that the NBA knew about it all along.
“We had a situation some years ago and it’s personal, you know what I mean. Like the league knows, everybody knows meeting and all that and it’s just a situation with my son so it’s yeah…I’m okay with a ref talking, just saying what he says…”

After revealing that there was some interaction involving his son, Paul was instantly questioned by the media and asked to elaborate. However, he declined to do so.
“Yeah, they (the league officials) know what it is, he (Foster) know what it is too just know I had a meeting with him Doc Rivers and all…”
Chris Paul went on to reveal that this meeting occurred during his time with the Los Angeles Clippers but did not provide any further details. We look forward to seeing how the league addresses this issue and the actions they take.
