Despite his desire to play basketball professionally again, Chris Paul is now enjoying time at home with his family and helping his son, Chris Jr., develop better court skills.
“The game is very important to my son.” His eleven-year-old daughter “absolutely adores it,” Paul, 35, tells PEOPLE. “He is entirely familiar with each and every player and team.” Plus, I was able to train him on my own, which is something I’ve never been allowed to do before, all because of the quarantine.
Since he told me he planned to work out on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I’m assuming that yesterday was our fourth day of working out together. “So, it’s funny that we had our best day yesterday, considering how angry and frustrated he was for the past three days,” the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard explains. “Yesterday was one of the nicest feelings I’ve had throughout this quarantine; it was really awesome.”
Even though the cоrоnavirus epidemic is still running strong, Paul and his family—wife Jada Paul and their children, 7-and-a-half-year-old Camryn and son Chris Jr.—have kept up their busy lifestyles, including playing basketball. But they have kept their distance from one another socially.
The athlete expresses gratitude for the availability of a weight room equipped with weights and a treadmill. “I always make an effort to devise a training regimen for my children. It could involve a two-minute bike ride, followed by a set of push-ups, sit-ups, and sprints.”
They probably enjoy that, in my opinion. In his explanation, Paul says, “I also try to get them to complete three circuits, because if they see [my wife and I] training, it inspires and motivates them to get going as well.””Watching my daughter come downstairs in her workout attire” was “the funniest part” of the encounter, according to the father of two who talked to PEOPLE. “I still haven’t gotten used to that, I think.”Paul mentions that his youngest child, Camryn, “becomes extremely restless” during activities like Zoom calls.
As a result, Jada will sometimes tell her to “run a lap” around the pool outside so that she may bur𝚗 off some energy while studying.””We usually try to get together and work out when the school day is over,” he explains. “Among the most amazing things, in my opinion…
Usually, you can find me either out and about or at the gym, but thanks to this situation, we’ve been able to start family workouts where we all do our exercises together.The basketball legend has returned from a couple of months of seclusion and says that his home life is running like “a well-oiled machine” thanks in large part to his 36-year-old wife, Jada.”In the first two weeks, I did my best to lend a hand with PE and math. According to Paul, who spoke to PEOPLE, “however, my wife has been phenomenal,” considering that he has received numerous calls daily as the president of the union.”So, when I’m not on the phone, I check in with my wife to see how Spanish is going or how school is going. Looking at her face, I can tell that teaching was never her calling,” he admits. “She gives it her all, but…” She may have the potential to teach, but she certainly wouldn’t work with our children.
