could have sworn he’s put up similar numbers in prior years without the recognition. amazing how much more noticeable he’s become on a winning team

He’s getting more props on a winning team. He has to do less scoring which lets his all around game flourish.

Congratulations Paul, thoroughly well deserved.

Once again your passion is shining brightly and fortunately, many others are now getting to see what they have been missing for the last nine years.

The Truth is being heard !!!

Cheers

he deserves it plain and simple. everyone is impressed with his d as they should, however, have you ever seen him more focused and natural on the free throw line? even in his offensive stinker a coula weeks ago, he was 8 of 8 from the line. bravo.
