Before starting on a Hall of Fame career in the NBA, Chris Paul attended Wake Forest for two years and was coached by Muggsy Bogues.
Paul has always praised the Hornets icon's influence on his career, and the admiration goes both ways.
Bogues has also acknowledged that he enjoys spending time with Paul.
During his visit on the Come Talk 2 Me podcast, the 59-year-old stated that he first met CP while the latter was still in high school.
He had attended Bogues' training camp at Wake Forest and impressed the retired great with his eagerness to learn.
Bogues' advise on how to steal the ball worked wonderfully for Paul.
He has the third most steals in NBA history with 2,614, trailing only John Stockton (3,265) and Jason Kidd (2,684).
The veteran point guard will likely climb up one spot on the list by the end of the upcoming season.
Bogues also helped Paul become a better finisher. The retired guard noticed a flaw in the young star’s game and helped him rectify it.
