Despite his desire to return to professional basketball, Chris Paul is presently spending his time at home with his family, training his son Chris Jr. to improve his own court talents.

“My son is an avid fan of the game.” According to Paul, 35, his eleven-year-old son “absolutely adores it.” “He has complete knowledge of every player and every team.” Furthermore, the confinement has allowed me to do something I have never been able to do before: train him myself.

“Given that he informed me of his intention to exercise on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, yesterday was most likely our fourth day of exercise together.” “Therefore, it’s ironic that our most productive day was yesterday, given that he was furious and upset the other three days,” the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard says. “It was really cool yesterday and probably one of the best feelings that I’ve had during this entire quarantine.”

In the middle of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Paul and his family, which includes his wife Jada Paul and their daughters, Chris Jr., 7, and Camryn, 7, have maintained an active lifestyle in addition to basketball. They have, nevertheless, maintained a social gap.

According to the athlete, “we are fortunate to have a weight room with weights and a treadmill.” “What I try to do is come up with a circuit for my kids, whether that be they have to jump on the bike for 2 minutes, then get down and do some push-ups, then do some sit-ups, then run a few sprints.”

“I believe they enjoy doing so. He goes on to say, “I also try to get them to complete three circuits, because if they see [my wife and I] training, it inspires and motivates them to get going as well.””The funniest part” of the encounter, according to the father of two who talked to PEOPLE, was “watching my daughter come downstairs in her workout attire.” “I believe I am not yet accustomed to that.”Camryn, according to Paul, “becomes really restless” during activities like Zoom calls; as a result, Jada may periodically advise her to “run a lap” around the pool outside in order to burn surplus energy during school hours.”When the school day is done, we normally attempt to get together and work out,” he adds. “That has to be one of the coolest things… Most of the time, I’m gone or at the gym working out or training, but because of this scenario, we’ve been able to have family workouts where we all work out together.”

After spending the last few months in seclusion, the basketball legend believes that his family life at home is running like “a well-oiled machine” – mostly because of Jada, 36.”I made every effort to help with numeracy and physical education during the first two weeks.” “However, my wife has been phenomenal, given that I’ve been on the receiving end of countless phone calls every day as the president of the union,” Paul was quoted as saying by PEOPLE.”So in between my calls, I go up there and check in on Spanish or what’s going on as far as school, and I can look at my wife’s face and tell that her calling was not to be a teacher,” he says with a laugh. “She does her greatest best, but… She may be a teacher, but definitely not with our children.”
