Chris Paul is making the most use of his offseason and was spotted spending time with his son. Most NBA fans should be aware that CP3 is a veteran who was playing for the Golden State Warriors till the end of last season. However, he ended up joining the San Antonio Spurs on a 1-year deal after being waived by the Warriors.
Being waived and then signing on with another team was certainly an unexpected experience for Chris Paul this offseason. In an attempt to forget the stresses of this world, Chris Paul did what he has established a career doing with his son and old friend. With that being said, let us take a closer look and find out more.
Chris Paul was spotted going through a shooting workout with his son and Isaiah Thomas
Although this is the offseason, it is quite difficult for NBA stars to stay away from the sport that they love. Footage of Chris Paul getting shots in with his son Chris Paul II as well as former NBA star Isaiah Thomas soon went viral on social media.

Given that Isaiah is close to Paul in terms of age and has even played against him on the NBA court, it is not that surprising to see that they have a good relationship and have stayed in touch over the years. Watching Chris Paul’s son display his basketball skills also seized the attention of NBA fans.
There must be several players who are currently having a shootaround with or playing against their children. Therefore, it would be wrong to claim that this event had any unique meaning. However, some fans pointed out that it did represent something important.
Fans claim this union represents the passage of time
Although he is hoping to make a comeback, Isaiah Thomas has already retired from the NBA. Paul is on the final stretch of his own NBA career. Moreover, his son is still years away from seriously considering becoming a professional athlete. Watching all of them together reminded fans who saw a young IT and CP3 in action about the passage of time, “CP2?? Yeah this makes me feel old.”

Fans who may have known that CP3 had a son would have been caught off guard to see that the boy had been growing quickly. In the event that Chris Paul II finds a passion for the game and makes it to the NBA, the basketball world will certainly remember his father if he is nicknamed CP2.
