Chris Paul, known as a feisty competitor on the court, continues to gain accolades for his off the court behavior and charitable contributions to his hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina and New Orleans, Louisiana where he plays professionally. Basketball fans know internationally that he has deep affection for his family, especially his grandfather. The story of his scoring 61 points to honor his grandfather still rings deep in the heart of his fans and, in turn, earns him respect and admiration.

Whether on or off the court, Paul remains a role model who is highly respected by his fans. In addition to the on-court skills he will teach young Chinese athletes during his tour of China with Jordan Brand, Paul will continue his spirit of giving by participating in a charity event and basketball court dedication with his fans.

As a premier athlete for the Jordan Brand, Chris Paul will launch his signature Jordan CP3.II China Edition shoe in China on August 3 for a suggested retail price of 990¥. The shoe will also be available exclusively at House of Hoops in the U.S. for a suggested retail price of $135 USD.
