Chris Paul has perfect response to doubters after Suns sweep Nuggets

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 6/14/21

Many have doubted Chris Paul in the past. The Phoenix Suns guard wants everyone to know they were wrong about him.

After the Suns swept the Denver Nuggets with a 125-118 Game 4 win on Sunday night, Paul spoke about how special it is to be moving on to the Western Conference Finals for just the second time in his career.

Two seasons before joining the Suns, Paul was considered damaged goods as he couldn't stay healthy. He had a bounce-back season with the Oklahoma City Thunder last year, and now he's back to leading a contender to the promised land.

Paul has been one of Phoenix's best players this postseason. The 36-year-old finished Game 4 with a game-high 37 points. He also had three rebounds and seven assists in 40 minutes.

Paul and the Suns will now get some time off as they wait to see who their next opponent will be. The Utah Jazz lead the Los Angeles Clippers 2-1 in the semifinals.
