But the 39-year-old floor general has embraced being the leader of a feisty Spurs team that is taking after his competitive identity. “From day one, just the way we approach things during the summer, the way we compete during practice, everything. We play cards on the plane, if it’s connect four, if it’s ping-pong, whatever you do, you do it to win. It’s competitive guys in our locker room. Like I always say, I’m just grateful to be able to teach, help however I can,” Paul said in his postgame presser, via the official NBA account on X (formerly known as Twitter). -via Clutch Points / November 22, 2024 CP3 on Castle: “It’s crazy for him to be a rookie, I’m so confident when he is on the court. Like when the ball is in his hands, I know what he’s capable of now” Castle on CP3: “Everything that he says is valuable. Him being another coach on the floor for us and me especially it’s only helping me.” -via reddit / November 22, 2024
