Had a thought… Chris Paul was on the Clippers during the Donald Sterling debacle. Now he’s on the Suns during the Robert Sarver saga.

LeBron James and Chris Paul tweeted, Jahm Najafi spoke up and PayPal is pulling out. These are just first steps, but the dominoes are lining up for more dire consequences for Robert Sarver: https://t.co/1gFEhOSqeK pic.twitter.com/JL8JDDw7al12:31 PM

LeBron and CP3 both understand 1) the power of their voices and 2) the need to address the Sarver investigation now and not wait for Media Day.
I’ve said it before and will keep saying the league is lucky to have those two. – 9:25 PM

More on this storyline

Chris Paul: Like many others, I reviewed the report. I was and am horrified and disappointed by what I read. This conduct especially towards women is unacceptable and must never be repeated. I am of the view that the sanctions fell short in truly addressing what we can all agree was atrocious behavior. My heart goes out to all of the people that were affected. -via Twitter @CP3 / September 15, 2022
Marc Stein: One senses, though, that this saga is far from over. Public pressure on Sarver, as well as the NBA regarding Sarver, has come nowhere close to Sterling levels — presumably because there is no TMZ recording, as with Sterling, of Sarver’s misdeeds. Yet that climate could change. We’re less than two weeks away from Suns Media Day on Sept. 26, which is the latest we will start hearing frequent questions posed to Chris Paul and other Phoenix players, as well as Coach Monty Williams, about Sarver’s ongoing operational control of the Suns. It really shouldn’t fall on them to make up for punishment this light, but the reality is that how players and Suns staffers — and, of course, sponsors — react will have a significant influence on what happens next in terms of a potential external push to urge Sarver to sell the team. -via marcstein.substack.com / September 14, 2022
