What happens when an irritant gets irritated? Beeeeeeeef
Chris Paul and Jose Alvarado’s paths crossed in 2022 and it was like two mosquitos bumping into each other in the woods, their wings instantly getting tangled so they just buzz harder, jabbing their face-needles at each other– all while someone with type 0 blood (mosquito’s favorite) sits tantalizingly close.
That was a fun extended metaphor to write, lemme unpack it. Paul and Alvarado are both irritating players who flop and buzz around defenders' faces like mosquitos.
They met each other in the woods that was the 2022 Western Conference opening round. Paul was on the extremely good Phoenix Suns, Alvarado on the just-happy-to-be-in-the-playoffs Pelicans.
The person with type 0 blood is the Larry O'Brien trophy. But that’s self explanatory, you probably already got that.
Please enjoy the Irritant-Off that is this beef.
