The Nike EYBL Session III tipped off on Friday, with San Antonio Spurs star Chris Paul's 15U team, Team CP3, playing its first game of the session against All Ohio. However, what caught everyone's attention wasn't just the game; it was a moment between the NBA star and his son that's been making rounds on social media.
Overtime shared a highlight of that brief moment that had the 12-time NBA All-Star screaming instructions at his son during the game. He appeared to have said the following words:
"Chris! Make some plays, stop running plays."

However, in the caption of the post shared by Overtime, they claimed Chris Paul told his son that he could sub him out at any moment. That quickly caught the NBA star’s attention, and he clarified that he never said that.
"That's not what i said," he wrote.
The post also drew different fan reactions, some trying to guess what the San Antonio Spurs star said:
"Definitely said i'm talking about any point," one fan said.
"Make a play, stop running from it," another fan said.
"Make a play stop running plays 💯," said another.
The game ended in a 61-46 victory for Team CP3. They jumped to a commanding 35-15 halftime lead. Although it lost momentum in the second half and lost the remaining quarters of the game, its 20-point first-half lead was more than enough to secure the win.
Davonta Lindsey Jr led Team CP3 with 16 points, four rebounds, and two assists. Other top performers include Sherod McCormick, who delivered 12 points, five rebounds and four assists; Andrew Juergens, with 11 points, six rebounds and two assists; and Xavier Hall, with 10 points, six rebounds and two assists.
Chris Paul II ended with four points, five rebounds and two assists.

Team CP3 maintained its momentum, taking a 74-64 victory over Meanstreat in its next game, hours after its first. This time around, Chris II delivered 15 points, two rebounds and an assist.
The team has two more games to play in this session of the Nike EYBL. They face Mac Irvin Fire on Sunday, and on Monday, they'll take on Team Final.
Notably, Chris Paul II is set to celebrate his 16th birthday on Sunday, May 25. The young guard has been turning heads on the court, and with any luck, he'll mark his big day with another standout performance.
