Before his time on the Houston Rockets, Chris Paul had a vicious dunk over Dwight Howard as a New Orleans Pelican, which he re-visited recently.

In just his second year in the league, Chris Paul put the NBA on notice that he could get up. Paul spent six years in New Orleans and six more in Los Angeles before his time with the Houston Rockets, establishing himself as one of the league’s premier point guards along the way.

During a December 2006 matchup with the Orlando Magic, CP3 found an opening in the middle of the paint, got the step on Dwight Howard and made him pay.
