Chris Paul: He tried to touch the top of my head. I don’t like that. I got a son of my own. I don’t know if Pau got kids, but don’t touch the top of my head like I’m one of your kids. I don’t know what his intentions were, and it doesn’t matter. I don’t know if he’s got kids, but I’m not one of them.
Pau Gasol: I’m sorry he felt that way. I do that all the time with my teammates. It’s OK. It’s like if I touch your shoulder or your back. There’s nothing mean about it, but it is what it is.
Moral of the story: Don’t touch Chris Paul’s head.
