Chris Paul going up against NBA sophomore Elfrid Payton would normally mean lights out for the young Orlando point guard, but since their latest 1-on-1 battle came on a football field -- different story. CP3 is known for his defensive prowess on the hard court, but Payton kinda exposed him when the Clippers superstar tried to cover him on a deep pattern. It's alright though ... Chris got some revenge, but safe to say both men...

It’s the most exciting time of year for NBA fans around the world – the dawn of the Playoffs. The sixteen best teams in the league are all set to fight it out to decide this year’s NBA Champions, testing their skill, intelligence, physical durability, and heart.
Despite its status as one of the purest team sports in the world, basketball is a game upon which the most talented players can exert their will time and time again. Never is this more clear than in the playoffs. While some championship-winning teams possess both fantastic chemistry and sparks of individual brilliance, often one must be sacrificed for the other. In such cases, teams featuring one game-changing superstar will trump a selfless collective of underdogs more often than not (flying in the face of inspirational sports movies everywhere).
This season, that message could prove to ring especially true.

Is a gender battle brewing in the NBA? Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul may have thrown down the gauntlet Thursday night with post-game comments critical of Lauren Holtkamp - an NBA rookie referee and one of only three women to referee league games this season - who called a technical faul on Paul in their 105-94 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. (It was one of five techs called on the Clippers during the game.) Paul, who heads up the National Basketball Players Association, and other players who took issue with the calls said their criticism is not linked to Holtkamp's gender.
