After he made a 70-foot shot at the buzzer to seal a 66-65 win for UC Riverside at Arizona State on Thursday night, JP Moorman II sent his friend a message: "This is because of you."
That friend is Chris Paul.
The Phoenix Suns All-Star met with UC Riverside -- a Big West school that considered eliminating athletics a year ago to save money -- for 45 minutes prior to their upset over the Sun Devils.
Moorman, a Greensboro, North Carolina native, met Paul when he played on his grassroots squad, CP3 All-Stars.
