James Harden would pick Chris Paul first in All-Star draft
James Harden certainly knows how to show love to a teammate.
Harden was asked in an interview with Complex whom he would select with his top pick if he were a captain for the All-Star Game. His answer was one of his teammates.
“If I had the first pick, I would pick Chris Paul,” Harden told Complex. “He’s not on the All-Star team, but he should be.”
True, Paul did not make the All-Star team, but this is a great sign about the chemistry between the two.
Houston’s experiment of acquiring Paul in a trade with the Clippers is paying off in a big way. The Rockets entered play on Wednesday a half-game behind the Warriors for the best record in the league. Harden and CP3 are getting along, and Paul’s decision to leave behind his “toxic” matters in LA certainly seems like a wise one.
