Chris Paul surprised at 6-foot son Chris Paul II's hops as high school freshman makes one handed jam
Chris Paul took to social media to share a video of his son Chris Paul II as the high school freshman had a nice little surprise for his father on Saturday. Attempting a one-handed dunk, the Campbell Hall freshman showed his incredible hops and his dad seemed pleased with his progress.
The 12-time All-Star was surprised at his son's athletic growth and took to X (formerly Twitter) to showcase his son's hops.
"Landed in Sac to this video from Lil Chris," he wrote.
In the video, Chris Paul II can be seen running from behind the three-point arch as he jumps to catch an alley-oop from his teammate and then jams it down the basket. The freshman is attending school in Los Angeles, California.
On the other hand, the Spurs guard is in Sacramento as his team prepares to take on the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. The 39-year-old has forged great chemistry with Victor Wembanyama and is looking to help the Spurs reach their first playoffs in years.
Currently, the team from San Antonio is the last play-in team and will look to get back to winning ways after suffering a loss against the Lakers on Wednesday.
