Chris Paul breaks Aaron Brooks’ ankles, hits jumper (Video)
By Sam Richmond
Chris Paul schooled Aaron Brooks to set up a wide-open jumper during the Los Angeles Clippers–Chicago Bulls game on Sunday.
While Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry seem to be getting the most attention among point guards from fans these days, Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul is still one of the elite floor-general in the NBA.
Paul surely reminded fans on his greatness on Sunday when he absolutely schooled Aaron Brooks, freeing himself up for an easy jumper that he nailed.
It’s hard to beat that. Brooks simply had no chance on the play.
