Chris Paul fakes out Mason Plumlee twice in one play

Chris Paul was really mean for doing this to Mason Plumlee in the Los Angeles Clippers’ game Thursday night.

Chris Paul is one of those crafty guys that knows all about positioning, footwork, speed and angles. When someone is defending him they have to be prepared for anything he might pull, because if they’re not careful he’ll put them on Shaqtin’ A Fool, Not Top 10 and blogs like this one for a week straight.

Surely at this point the NBA sends out little warning cards about the danger of Chris Paul. The problem is nobody listens.

Poor Mason Plumlee. He was so young. So athletic. The target of Twitter’s intense hatred for having the last name Plumlee and playing at Duke. Chris Paul ended his career tonight when he faked him out not once, but twice on the same play.

Plumlee left his feet not once, but twice to a pump fake and a pass fake, and he got completely turned around in the process. It’s never good when the ball is in one direction and you’re looking the other, but that’s the situation Plumlee found himself in here.

Kudos to him for maintaining composure and trying to prevent any further shot attempts, but he really should have just stayed down and let his size do the work for him.

At least Plumlee can take solace knowing that he’s in a highlight for trying on defense. The guy he was traded for, Jusuf Nurkic, was notorious in Denver for not doing that and the highlights that feature players not trying are so much worse than the ones where they are.
