Holding Court With David Glenn: First Title, First Team
As Chris Paul Nears His First NBA Title – After 16 Years and Five Pro Franchises – He Still Remembers His First Team
By David Glenn
Chris Paul played two seasons of varsity basketball at West Forsyth High School in Clemmons, N.C., two seasons in the ACC at Wake Forest, and is now a 16th-year professional, with his fifth franchise, within reach of his first NBA championship.
His “first team,” though, was the North Carolina Tar Heels.
“Since I was a little kid, (UNC) was the only team I wanted to play for,” Paul said. “All the way into my junior year of high school, when I took a recruiting visit to Chapel Hill, that was still where I wanted to go.”
