“Those guys have such a standard of play and they’ve done it for so long, you don’t want to offend them or make them feel like they can’t do it anymore, but you know and they know that they’re not where they used to be.” Monty Williams on Chris Paul on back end of career. #Suns pic.twitter.com/jCqwTm2p9n – 8:35 PM
