You probably knew Chris Paul is nicknamed “CP3”, has a gold medal to his credit and was taken fourth overall in the ‘05 draft. What you probably didn’t know, was that he has a first cousin “balling” at Missouri. Then again, neither did Paul himself!
And the reason he didn’t know, is because he doesn’t. But that didn’t stop Missouri point Miguel Paul from telling people Chris Paul is his first cousin. It says it right there in their media guide. His teammates even call him “MP3”. Not only did he say Chris Paul was his cousin, he told a newspaper about the time his cousin, Chris Paul, came into his high school locker room to chat him up after a game. C’mon, “Miggy”…you’re better than that! At least I thought you were. George O'Leary can’t believe you would stoop to that! Neither can former Toronto Blue Jays’ manager Tim Johnson.
Chris Paul is your cousin?! Who’s your dad, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar? Yeah, that’s nothing…I’m related to Jim Brown. On my mom’s side! What’s that lie going to get you anyway? A greater chance of being drafted?! More friends?! As if no one was going to get around to running that back to “CP3”. “CP3” doesn’t know you are, Miguel! Stop telling everyone he’s your cousin. “MP3”…not only are you liar, you’re an “iPod knockoff”.
