Chris Paul was elected as the president of the National Basketball Players Association in 2013. It’s no surprise then that he has a high IQ when it comes to the rules of the game.<\/p>\n

In a December 2019 game while playing for the Thunder, he put that brain of his to great effect against the Timberwolves. Paul snitched on Jordan Bell for an untucked jersey and they ended up winning the game from an almost impossible situation.<\/p>\n

With 1.1 seconds on the clock, The Timberwolves were up by two points and Karl Anthony Towns had two free throws to effectively ice the game. Towns missed the first free throw. Minnesota subbed in Jordan Bell who entered with an untucked jersey. Chris Paul yells “jersey untucked! That’s a delay of game”.<\/p>\n

The Timberwolves would end up making a free throw they tried to miss, leading to an OKC hail mary to force OT.<\/p>\n

They then lost in overtime by 12. pic.twitter.com\/DKEcrMWUS6<\/a><\/p>\n
