NBA Twitter reacts to Chris Paul reaching his first NBA Finals
NBA Twitter was so happy for Chris Paul after his Phoenix Suns beat the LA Clippers to advance to the NBA Finals.
Chris Paul has been in the NBA for 16 seasons. Thanks to Wednesday’s Game 6 victory over the LA Clippers, the Phoenix Suns point guard is heading to the NBA Finals for the first time in his career.
It’s been a very long time coming, so Paul’s reaction was just as emotional as you’d expect.
He’s wanted this for a very, very long time.
“Damn this feel good.”

The best part of it was Paul’s individual performance to make sure it happened.
Damn CP3 said “FUCK YALL, I ain’t watching another Finals at home with the State Farm guy.” 😂 41 points & 8 assists in a close out game.. unreal. pic.twitter.com/jkoBOj1xoB

DAMN, CP3 went off during his legacy game. All the pressure in the world and came out on top w/ a 40 bomb. I can’t wait to see this Suns team in the NBA finals.

The Suns went ahead 3-1 in the series, but they lost Game 5 to the resilient Clippers. Losing a Game 6 would have opened the flood gates of doubt going into Game 7.
Paul responded the way any team wants their veteran point guard to step up. He hit 7-of-8 3-point attempts to rack up 41 points. He had 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals as well.
He absolutely deserved to make it to the NBA Finals after that outing and after all the hard work he’s put in for almost two decades.
This man deserves it.@CP3 pic.twitter.com/CJhQLj9Uu8

For Clippers fans, it was bittersweet watching their former star get it done for another team on their home floor.

Paul and the Suns get to sit back and look forward to their NBA Finals matchup while waiting for the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks to resolve their Eastern Conference Finals series.
Whoever advances, they’ll have to face a man on a mission in Chris Paul.
