Cole: I used to hate Paul because he behaved so well when he fought with us, but now we love him
Live broadcast on August 3, US men’s basketball coach Cole talked about Paul’s fake smile at him in an online interview on NBA Today.
“I didn’t know he had a fake smile at that time. I thought we were joking about walking. Later I realized that I was the only one Joking. He didn’t want to participate in Haha at all.
“One interesting thing in this league is that you compete with some people, especially as we compete with Paul again and again in the playoffs before, and then we suddenly become teammates, and we all laugh.
“Because we all wanted to grab each other’s necks before, which reminded me of my relationship with Reggie Miller when I played basketball. I used to hate Miller very much, but later we became partners on the understanding board and became good friends.
“I think this is very similar to our relationship with Paul. We all hate him very much because we have been competing and his performance is so good, now he is one of us, and we love him!” Cole said.
