NBA star, recently traded to Oklahoma, appears at Ciutat Esportiva and attempts to save Antoine Griezmann spot kick.
There was a very special guest at FC Barcelona’s Wednesday morning training session.
Chris Paul of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA came by the Ciutat Esportiva and also got to meet the likes of Gerard Piqué, Antoine Griezmann, Samuel Umtiti, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets and Sergi Roberto and enjoy a short kickabout on the pitch.
Griezmann even challenged the 34-year-old point guard to save a penalty. France 1 United States 0 was the outcome.
Formerly of the New Orleans Hornets and Los Angeles Clippers, and traded to the Thunder a month ago by the Houston Rockets, Paul also spoke to the Barça TV cameras, confessing that he and his kids are fans of soccer, and especially the blaugrana.
“I follow the team from the US” he says. “Although they lost the first Liga game, I’m sure they’ll win on Sunday against Betis.”

The picture still makes him look short but yeah.
Rakitic is 6 foot. Paul looks like he fits in size wise. But like, I've always loved the heights in Basketball compared to most other sports. It's great.

Chris Paul is always one of the shortest guys on the basketball court. But line him up against a football team and he's one of the tallest heads. I love that.
