NBA stars react to Chris Paul’s pictures in 2019 ESPN Body Issue

Chris Paul has been feeling himself lately.

He’s long been one of the most famous faces in the NBA, and thanks to his cover shoot for ESPN’s Body Issue, now, he’s got one of the most famous physiques.

The Oklahoma City Thunder guard took to Instagram this week to showcase (show off?) some of his photos from the 2019 edition of ESPN the Magazine’s annual Body Issue.

Wedneday Paul posted a picture and included a motivational caption touting the benefits of the 34-year-old recently switching to a vegan diet and feeling more comfortable in his body.

Naturally, his friends in the league had no chill.

Paul Pierce, P.J. Tucker, Chauncy Billups and Carmelo Anthony all got in his mentions.

The roasting of Paul wasn’t confined to just players in the league, as both Bronny James and Zaire Wade got in on the action as well.

Paul opened up about his body transformation and being traded to the Thunder during the offseason in a recent interview with ESPN.
