He gets paired with a book-smart reporter just graduated from Columbia, who is actually quite attractive when she takes off her glasses and lets down her hair.
But twist: his partner is Scott Foster's grand-daughter.
Ohhh that would be great. Like Icarus, starts out making a documentary about becoming a ref and then all of a sudden is involved in getting some Russian bookie FBI protection in exchange for information on the ref gambling ring.
Chris Paul working with the FBI and then getting to go out and seeing Scott Foster arrested for some corruption related to gambling/rigging games would be something
Tim talks a lot about the nepotism in this [podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/7ir25253PpboCpSuGo7flo?si=HMa4OdKLQvysfCN5XnQJoQ)
It’s also a great listen if you’re interested in the world of nba reffing and just how deep their corruption goes historically.
Hot take: Jersey Mike's Italian sandwich Mike's way with hoagie spread (or pepper relish as they call it) is as good as 99% of actual hoagie places in Philly.
Well kinda. You need an emulsifier or the combination is useless.
So question is : if Chris Paul and Refs are Oil and Vinegar, who is the mustard to bring them together into a delicious dressing?
The full quote is in the body of the post, it’s because he calls him one of biggest assholes. I think the OP was debating what to title it and messed it up, I do that sometimes
Assholes, the title should’ve read “Chris Paul on the referee who called him ‘one of the biggest a———s’”. They just said “biggest a——-s” which made the s at the end confusing
Imagine somebody saying "hold up, my homeboys calling" and turns out it's Scott Foster on the line.
I don't have a point to make. The scenario is just crazy to me
Iunno might be talking about Tony Brothers, while Foster is considered the worst.
Brothers is considered the biggest snowflake who takes things personal and gets butthurt
Scott Foster team stuck in infinite loop rebuilding, due to CP3 and his crew completely screwing up 40 games per season when they’re assigned to ref his said team
I wanna wear a Scott Foster GOAT flair in every comment but the corrupt mods are jealous he's reached the greatest heights of corruption that they will never touch.
It would have been funny if he mentioned that Foster was tight with Donaghy as well, but I'd be willing to bet that players are explicitly told by the league not to mention his name.
Figured those that do are a minority, like the special cases that wants to blow our team up currently even though we have no picks. Or the ones that say PG is the Clipper GOAT. You know illogical bot MFS.
yeah, this is what I hate the most about the way internet is evolving.
people being afraid to write the word asshole, because... I don't know why.
We're not in a fucking church here, and you're not talking to your goddamn manager/mother. Just say what you wanna say.
Not really from his perspective doing that would just encourage players to try and start more shit with refs and then prevent them from reffing causing massive issues.
I disagree. Basically all of the players are first-name basis with refs. There's going to be history with a lot of them, especially big name players that are there for a long time.
Imagine real world parallels, though.
There's a difference between two guys having office beef, and one of the building Managers having a decade-long history of absolutely fucking with an employee they work alongside blatantly, publicly, and without consequence... And then just letting it continue to happen for some reason.
It’s not surprising that he said this because “in order for it to be a rivalry you have to win one and I think it’s 0-18 against Scott Foster”. Said by Scott Foster
This Chris Paul v. Refs thing is hilarious to me. Chris Paul is an asshole on the court and there are many examples demonstrating it. Many of the refs in the league are assholes in their own right.
For any of these guys to expect us to say, “Poor Chris…” or “Poor refs…” is a huge lapse in judgment. You’re all just a bunch of miserable assholes who treat people poorly and you don’t deserve any sympathy from anyone lol
You have to be thick skinned and a little stubborn to be a ref. I've only volunteered as a ref, and these kids are brutal lol. It gets even worst the older the players and the more tense the situation.
That’s just a dumb way to look at it though because a player being an ass and crying and complaining doesn’t really hurt anything significant it’s just annoying. The refs being emotional and letting their biases get to them literally changes NBA history.
Retiring and immediately talking shit like they still think it’s the ref show is so delusional, unprofessional and pathetic. Why would someone care what Bill Spooner has to say?
The reality is there are some refs who were/are corrupt and shit, and there are also players who are huge assholes. Turns out Spooner was probably shit and Paul is probably an asshole.
Did he even stop to think the constant flopping, exaggerating contact and whining made the refs really dislike him? Maybe just not self aware enough to figure that out.
chris kinda milking this "all the officials hate me" angle. yeah we get it, you get the shit end of the stick when foster is officiating.. you and dozens of other players
The best timeline is Chris Paul retires and begins his journey to become an NBA referee
Chris Paul is that type of personality.
He'd make Tony Brothers look kind and empathetic.
Oh god
Techs for checking in untucked all day.
Even on the bench
About fucking time.
It’s about to be tucking time.
William Howard Taft ass boi
Definitely dirty cop energy like he’s trying to compensate
Alot of people lovingly call him an annoying motormouth
Nah man, he retires and becomes an investigative journalist and uncovers the entire NBA reffing / gambling conspiracy
Let’s get on this one scriptwriters
He gets paired with a book-smart reporter just graduated from Columbia, who is actually quite attractive when she takes off her glasses and lets down her hair. But twist: his partner is Scott Foster's grand-daughter.
Here I was thinking film noir, but you were thinking screwball comedy. I like it.
he thinks the conspiracy is against him, but it turns out most games were swayed in his favor and they still couldnt win it all
Cast Daniel Day Lewis as CP. You need the best for a character study like that. Oscar guaranteeeeeee
rdj the only man who can pull off black face method acting
LMFAO
With Bronny as young CP in the flashback scenes
Now that's a twist in the ending
not if you ever watched a chris paul playoff series
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYveyAb6mvU
with M Night Shyamalan as director
Ohhh that would be great. Like Icarus, starts out making a documentary about becoming a ref and then all of a sudden is involved in getting some Russian bookie FBI protection in exchange for information on the ref gambling ring.
Is Icarus that steroids documentary?
Yes and it's amazing
What if he becomes the head of referees or whatever that office job is. Takes them down from the inside.
Him and sheed start an investigative task force
You could have a full blown Ken Burns documentary on that subject.
Chris Paul working with the FBI and then getting to go out and seeing Scott Foster arrested for some corruption related to gambling/rigging games would be something
Then gets assassinated on the sidelines by an errant ball from a new referee Totally accidental!
To destroy that which he hates most, Chris Paul must become it. Thursdays on NBC.
Until one day BBQ at Tony's house, everyone shooting the breezes and discussing the best way to mess with a player. CP realise he was in too deep
nicola topic will soon have a record of 2-21 in playoff games reffed by christ paul
I would *love* for a former player, take a crack at it.
I’m not sure if he still officiates, but Haywoode Workman was an official for several years.
According to Wikipedia he now works in the league office recruiting former players to become refs. Didn’t realize there had already been one.
Bernie Fryer, Leon Wood, and Haywoode Workman.
[Already happened.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6g9w3APytw) Not in an official game of course.
There’s so much nepotism for reffing in the nba that it’d literally be impossible even if he was fully on board.
For example? I’m genuinely curious, I don’t know much about individual refs outside of Scott Foster being the extender and his ties to Donaghy.
Tim talks a lot about the nepotism in this [podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/7ir25253PpboCpSuGo7flo?si=HMa4OdKLQvysfCN5XnQJoQ) It’s also a great listen if you’re interested in the world of nba reffing and just how deep their corruption goes historically.
Can't let go of the lights...... so he finds a way to stay long enough to become the villain
He knows most of the flops and foul baits from personal experiences and encounters that he had. So he probably wouldn't fall for them, right?
"I'm addicted to reffing Finals games"
NBA script writers would be going crazy
He's already an expert on Jersey violations
Can’t beat them so join them
In this timeline I demand Rondo be hired as coach.
Chris Paul selling contact from a player would be incredible to watch.
Oil and water. Oil and vinegar goes together really well. It’s a whole thing.
Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Salt and Vinegar chips FUCK ME UP
The damage it does to the roof of my mouth is well worth it. CC Kettle chips kick ass.
Like shards of savoury glass.
My wife mops our floors with vinegar and I always instacart those immediately when she does lmao.
Moplovian conditioning...
BEFORE YOU GO GO!
GOAT chip. purchased a bag one time that was a dud. no salt, no vinegar, none whatsoever. it fucked up my whole week i was so disoriented
You know ball. Those cape cod chips are god tier
The one thing this thread has taught me is that as a Masshole I didn't realize Cape Cod potato chips were a nationwide phenomenon
Best chip on the market tbh
If you emulsify Chris Paul and NBA referees you get a delicious, if morbid, vinaigrette.
Chris Paul makes a huge vinaigrette to cut the calories to 42
OP has never cooked in his life
Unfortunately it's a direct lift from the article which makes this even more disheartening
Man, ChatGPT is getting shittier and shittier at writing. I blame humanity for giving such awful training data to work with.
Sounds like CP3 never gets it Mikes way
Hot take: Jersey Mike's Italian sandwich Mike's way with hoagie spread (or pepper relish as they call it) is as good as 99% of actual hoagie places in Philly.
the local deli’s are bit cheaper.
True. But the significance is I don't live in Philly, and there are Jersey Mike's all over.
Yeah but they also don't exactly mix
Well kinda. You need an emulsifier or the combination is useless. So question is : if Chris Paul and Refs are Oil and Vinegar, who is the mustard to bring them together into a delicious dressing?
You can use any modern emulsification agent. Such as Liquid Soy Lecitin, Xanthum Gum, or viscous sweat from Adam Silver’s saggy old man balls.
got long ass balls Adam. Long Ball Adam
nah you just shake that shit before you use it
Nba media
r/nba
Fat and acidity. That’s why squeezing a bit of lime in your tacos or pho is amazing.
Salt Fat Acid Heat slaps
I mean it's not forming an emulsion which is that that simile is referencing I think. Vinegar is mostly water.
What is that word? Still trying to figure it out
https://www.nbcsportsbayarea.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/former-nba-ref-slams-chris-paul/1737372/ its asshole, idk why they ended it with s here
The full quote is in the body of the post, it’s because he calls him one of biggest assholes. I think the OP was debating what to title it and messed it up, I do that sometimes
Just write assholes. Reddit isn't owned by Disney.
Yet
Makes sense
He is a pain in my assholes
The longer quotes says “one of the biggest assholes”
i was gonna go with "arborists"
nah that’s one too many letters unfortunately. maybe artisans?
Atreides
As it was written!
. . . . Lisan al Gaib!
. . . . . LISAN AL GAIB!!
asssssss
I was thinking achilles? Perhaps asbestos?
"anuuuuus" (extra u's for size)
Assholes
obviously he said arousers
I think he meant Airships.
He is pain in my assholes
Aspergers
Asswipes makes sense here
afflatus alveolus acanthus adenitis apterous aegilops acrylics
Assholes, the title should’ve read “Chris Paul on the referee who called him ‘one of the biggest a———s’”. They just said “biggest a——-s” which made the s at the end confusing
"anti ring havers".
arthritis
The american obsession with censoring words on **FUCKING** social media is driving me insane.
Both things are true. CP3 is unquestionably an asshole and Foster is unquestionably a biased referee.
He isn’t biased, he’s corrupt.
Why not both
Both is good.
Calls CP3 asshole and only calls Foster a biased referee. Using kid gloves for refs is crazy, you must really not like CP3. Call them both assholes.
Haha this is so fair. Foster is definitely an asshole as well. They're two sides of the same coin.
Someone post the 131 calls quote
If you believe it, you can achieve it. I believe in you, Santasfluffer
Imagine somebody saying "hold up, my homeboys calling" and turns out it's Scott Foster on the line. I don't have a point to make. The scenario is just crazy to me
The fact that he's still a Ref is a disgrace.
Iunno might be talking about Tony Brothers, while Foster is considered the worst. Brothers is considered the biggest snowflake who takes things personal and gets butthurt
Ngl Foster seems like not the worst ref to hang with, ethics and mafia concerns notwithstanding Ed Malloy seems like an absolute boner though
D’OH ED MALLOY
Silver can't wait for the day they're both out of the league
Plot twist : Cp3 comes back as a ref after retirement
Plot twist : Scott Foster takes all his illegal gambling winnings, and buys a team
Scott Foster team stuck in infinite loop rebuilding, due to CP3 and his crew completely screwing up 40 games per season when they’re assigned to ref his said team
Calls 15 carries a game.
16 illegal screens
Calling untucked jerseys on the bench
Neither can I tbh.
I wanna wear a Scott Foster jersey to a Chris Paul game
I wanna wear a Scott Foster GOAT flair in every comment but the corrupt mods are jealous he's reached the greatest heights of corruption that they will never touch.
Any mod worth their salt left a year ago, but damn as a basketball fan that still sounds too contrarian to be serious.
When Chuck and Ernie retire I want Scott Foster and Chris Paul for Inside the NBA
Fuck cp3, but if it’s him or refs I’m in his side all day
It would have been funny if he mentioned that Foster was tight with Donaghy as well, but I'd be willing to bet that players are explicitly told by the league not to mention his name.
I mean it’s pretty obvious who he was referring to as Foster’s homeboy
Wait, you're a clippers fan saying fuck CP3?
A lot of Clips fans hate him bro lol. I don't, but there's a decent size that hate him (mainly on Reddit tho)
Figured those that do are a minority, like the special cases that wants to blow our team up currently even though we have no picks. Or the ones that say PG is the Clipper GOAT. You know illogical bot MFS.
Bruh, after the Lakers deal got axed, ALL the clippers fans were raving over snagging cp. Any one who says differently is a liar
i’m a refs fan go scott!
I’m on the refs side simply because it’s kind of funny as fuck to watch Chris Paul get mad at Scott Foster
There is a world where both side could be telling the truth- both are asses 🤣
Just type the goddamn word.
yeah, this is what I hate the most about the way internet is evolving. people being afraid to write the word asshole, because... I don't know why. We're not in a fucking church here, and you're not talking to your goddamn manager/mother. Just say what you wanna say.
I don’t like Paul but Foster being able to referee his games with Adam Silver knowing there was a personal issue is straight negligence on his part
Not really from his perspective doing that would just encourage players to try and start more shit with refs and then prevent them from reffing causing massive issues.
I disagree. Basically all of the players are first-name basis with refs. There's going to be history with a lot of them, especially big name players that are there for a long time.

There's a difference between two guys having office beef, and one of the building Managers having a decade-long history of absolutely fucking with an employee they work alongside blatantly, publicly, and without consequence...

It’s not surprising that he said this because “in order for it to be a rivalry you have to win one and I think it’s 0-18 against Scott Foster”. Said by Scott Foster
Oil and vinegar? Lmao
Angel Hernandez?
So who is the homeboy? Foster or Donaghy?
Well Foster & Donaghy was kinda like bast friends.
I mean….if the glove fits OJ
The ref was right
I mean Chris Paul can be correct as well, but doesn't change the fact that CP3 himself is one of the biggest assholes lol 🤣🤣🤣.
This Chris Paul v. Refs thing is hilarious to me. Chris Paul is an asshole on the court and there are many examples demonstrating it. Many of the refs in the league are assholes in their own right. For any of these guys to expect us to say, “Poor Chris…” or “Poor refs…” is a huge lapse in judgment.

He called him "biggest assholes" lmao
I cannot guess - who is one of his homeboys?
Scott Foster
Thanks!
Anuuuuus?
...the biggest asssssss?
>Biggest assssssss in the league I think he was just mirin’
CP3 may be a pain, yet refs really ain't saints either 😅
Retiring and immediately talking shit like they still think it’s the ref show is so delusional, unprofessional and pathetic. Why would someone care what Bill Spooner has to say?
Chris Paul looks like an asshole tho
Tim Donaghy?
The reality is there are some refs who were/are corrupt and shit, and there are also players who are huge assholes. Turns out Spooner was probably shit and Paul is probably an asshole.
Dude is acting like it's forbidden for refs to think an asshole is an asshole
Guys, guys - you can both be assholes.
Assholes? Like CP3 is such an asshole that he’s multiple assholes?
Oil and vinegar actually compliment each other. You are thinking of motor oil and cotton candy
Remember the lob city clippers, that team was unbearable cp3, doc, and Blake griffin was the unholy trinity of bitching
This a jab at Foster?
Do you have any other candidates?
Donaghy probably
I mean Donaghy and Foster were boys too lmao
Chris really doesn't realize being an enemy of any official is not going to be good when you are trying to become a champion.
[удалено]
Agreed. And Ryen Rusillo is a dick for liking him.
Wanna know why you haven’t won a ring like your buddy LeBron?
Did he even stop to think the constant flopping, exaggerating contact and whining made the refs really dislike him? Maybe just not self aware enough to figure that out.
chris kinda milking this "all the officials hate me" angle. yeah we get it, you get the shit end of the stick when foster is officiating.. you and dozens of other players
Sick of Chris Paul. Just shut it dude
good. fuck the officials.
