"You trusted me with the soul of the city. And I would have died to protect that calling."
Drew Brees' message to New Orleans during his Hall of Fame speech ❤️
Probably taking the bait on this but “still don’t have evidence” and “it’s just never worked” are just … c’mon man.
I’ve seen the evidence, I’ve seen it work. And I don’t think you can put the blame for things that haven’t gone right on the city
I’ma need Bill Simmons to get off our nuts.
Just like the other small markets, when the team is good, New Orleans shows out. So I don’t get the obsession that our city is the problem when he even says our ownership plays a part.
Tired of this dumbass, biased narrative.
Chris Paul’s 2007-2008 “MVP” season:
21.1 PPG - 11.6 APG - 2.7 SPG - 48.8 FG%
At only 22 years old, CP3 was the runner-up for MVP, only behind Kobe Bryant.
Led the Hornets to the 2 seed with 56 wins, in an absolutely stacked Western conference.
"Chris Paul, A.K.A. the Point God."
2nd ALL-TIME in assists.
2nd ALL-TIME in steals.
21 years running the point & defending the point of attack... congrats on a LEGENDARY career, @CP3!
