Chris Paul has been dominating the NBA playoffs and has the Suns in position to win a championship but is being indefinitely barred from competition after he tested positive for Covid.
ESPN’s Jalen Rose confirmed that Paul has been vaccinated.

Hopefully that means he won't miss too much time after entering the NBA health and safety protocol 🙏🏼pic.twitter.com/5gCVqN4Cne

People are flocking to this quote like it’s proof that Chris Paul is definitely anti-vaxx or something. Have to keep in mind he said this as the head of the NBPA, and it doesn’t necessarily mean he was never vaccinated himself https://t.co/90pfMBvKHj

Whether Chris Paul has been vaccinated or not is unclear.
FROM FORBES:
KEY FACTS
* It remains unknown if Paul contracted the coronavirus, or if he is a close contact of someone who may have tested positive.
* It is also unclear if Paul has been vaccinated.
* The Athletic, which broke the story Wednesday morning, reported the isolation period could be shorter for a vaccinated player, “depending on the medical circumstance.”
* The Suns have not yet publicly addressed the reports.

Hmmm...Basket Ball?
Never heard of it
However, this news source (Associated Press ) is telling a different story:
[EXCERPT]
Chris Paul has been vaccinated against COVID-19, said another person, also speaking on condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns. And that may mean that Paul, if he has tested positive, could be cleared to return more quickly than those who tested positive earlier this season before vaccines were readily available.
How to win...Give a dummy shot to a star...
One pass thru this smug Millenial asshole's timeline makes me hope he has interviewed Chris Paul in the past 24 hours lofl...
The tests are unreliable.......................
So is he showing any symptoms?
I couldn’t care less about the NBA, but I smell a rat here. Phoenix is a relatively small market.
Vaccinated and survived that, now to get COVID-19 anyway... How long ago was he vaccinated?
LeBron’s supporters in the league office taking a little revenge?
They have a chance to win be in and win the finals now. Without Chris Paul, that won’t happen. And I am not a Chris Paul fan.
Maybe, but the Suns play the winner of the Jazz-Clippers series. That series is currently 2-2, so at least two more games to be played. A good chance it will be three games. Enough period of time should pass before the Suns play their next game, allowing Paul to be cleared.
I think that a game where people run around and put a basket of some type over a ball of some type. The more advanced you are at playing the smaller the ball and basket. Really advanced players also consume large quantities of alcohol before playing and then throughout the game.
In a fair world this would lead to an investigation of manipulating the sports betting market.
George Carlin : Here’s how I’d change basketball. You could make basketball a lot quicker. You know what you do? You have a two second shot clock.
As soon as that ball is in bounds, get that sumbitch up in the air. I didn’t come to watch a game of catch. I’m looking for a four or five hundred point ball game! I’m a fan! I want six overtimes and a thousand points on the board! Another thing I would do for basketball, at the center court line, for ten feet on either side of the center court line, I would have a gasoline fire.
You talk about the fast break, you’d see the *really* fast break. Here’s another suggestion for basketball. I would allow twenty-five points for any ball that goes in the basket off another guy’s head. You’d see some good fights during those close games, I’ll tell you. And you’d increase the chance for serious injuries! That’s what I’m looking for, injuries! That’s what I like about sports! I don’t care who wins these games; if I want to see winners, I’ll watch the Academy Awards. I’m looking for injuries. Serious, lifelong, crippling, debilitating injuries. I’m an American! Give me a little violence and I’m a happy guy! Most people won’t admit that. Most people won’t admit that; they’ll say “Well, I like the competition.” Yeah, like Hiroshima, right? ... the competition. I’m looking for a leg in two or three places.
That’s what I’m thinking will happen
The China owned NBA allowed LeDouchebag to play even though he went against safety protocol but they wont let Paul play..NOT right
Bingo!!! You got it. No way NBA wants Phoenix Milwaukee final. LA Clippers vs Bklyn Nets is their dream.( I won’t say what kind of dream).
according to twitter, he did test positive..well hey if the vaccine is SO freakin reliable what’s the problem, by the time the western conference finals happen he will be all clear to play
