NBA Stars React to Chris Paul’s ‘Body Issue’ Photos

Chris Paul is one of the NBA’s more familiar faces. This notoriety has brought him friendships throughout the league. But, the worst (and best) thing about friends is that they never take you too seriously. This trait was on full display when basically the entire NBA met in CP3’s comments to roast him over his latest Instagram post.

On Wednesday, Paul took to Instagram where he posted photos from his shoot for ESPN Magazine‘s annual “Body Issue.” In the caption, Paul tried to show his mental growth on his path to being more confident in his body. Yet—as friends tend to do—his fellow celebrities blew right past his motivational caption and got right to the jokes. 

Most people, like former teammates Paul Pierce and P.J. Tucker, posted a series of emojis that didn’t need any explanation. Others, like Chauncey Billups, got more creative.

“I’m glad you feeling good youngsta, but put some damn clothes on,” Billups commented, while Carmelo Anthony said: “Yo Chill AHK!!!”

But it wasn’t just his peers that were on him, as Zaire Wade and Bronny James hopped in Paul’s comments to joke on their play-uncle. Bronny left a series of “(A)yeeeeee yooooo” comments just so Paul knew he was out of pocket. As for Zaire, he left a calm “Chill cp.”

Even some of Paul’s friends outside of basketball felt a need to join in on the fun, including TDE CEO, Top Dawg, who urged CP3 to “Put some damn clothes on.”
