Chris Paul on his exit from Houston: ‘I have to be who I am’

It’s been an interesting summer for Chris Paul, starting with his exit from Houston.

Multiple reports documented an on-court falling out between Paul and James Harden at the end of the season, a season which ended with the Rockets falling to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals. In that series, Paul and Harden reportedly debated over how the offense should be run, with Paul wanting more ball movement to Harden's isolation-heavy sets.

Paul was unapologetic when asked about to summarize his two years in Houston, and his competitive nature.
