Glen “Big Baby” David played with star point guard Chris Paul during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. Davis didn’t think Paul lived up to the hype, he told Colin Cowherd on “The Herd.”
"Dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble." – @iambigbaby11 wasn't a huge fan of playing with Chris Paul. #TheHerdhttps://t.co/sgk2j4DmsF

When asked to confirm sources about Paul being a problem in the locker room, Davis said(transcribed by USA Today):
“He has his way about himself,” Davis said when asked if Paul was a problem in the locker room. “It’s, ‘I’m Chris Paul, give me the ball, I’m gonna dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, might pass if it looks good, or I’ll shoot.'”
I can’t speak to any locker room problems that Paul may cause with his attitude off the court, but critiquing Paul for dribbling too much? That doesn’t seem right. Paul is heralded as one of, if not the most efficient point guard of all time, with an astounding basketball IQ. He isn’t exactly a ball-hog. Paul, in his 11-year NBA career, has averaged 9.9 assists per game, and has averaged double-digit assist numbers in six seasons, including each of his last three.
I can’t agree with Big Baby’s critique, but having played with Paul, he certainly has a different perspective.
