Twitter users have pointed to Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul as the one who had anonymously reported his fellow NBA players for violating social-distancing protocols inside the NBA bubble at the Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.
This came after reporter Shams Charania of The Athletic tweeted that some NBA players' attention has been called after the league's anonymous hotline received multiple violation tips.
The NBA is taking no chances by setting up an anonymous hotline that would allow NBA players to report protocol violations inside the Disney bubble.
There are 22 teams inside the bubble where the NBA is set to resume the 2019-2020 season starting on July 30.
Twitter users have hilariously retweeted the reporter's tweet and accompanied it with videos and photos of CP3.
Some suggested that the player needed a hobby inside the bubble while some stated that the OKC Thunder guard had three phones just for the hotline.
Why Chris Paul? Probably Twitter users recalled how he helped his team win against the Minnesota Timberwolves back in December with his knowledge of the otherwise obscure jersey rule.
Karl-Anthony Towns was about to give the Timberwolves a three-point lead from the free-throw line with 1.1 seconds left when Paul caught Jordan Bell returning to the floor with his jersey untucked.
Paul wasted no time in pointing it out with referee Scott Foster following through by calling a delay-of-game penalty on the Timberwolves.
Because it was already their second delay-of-game call, it resulted in a technical foul which allowed OKC to forge over time and eventually go on to win the game.
Paul certainly takes time to know and understand the rules so his fellow players should be careful about committing any violation around him.
The NBA had put up the hotline to make sure that everyone inside the bubble would follow the protocols to ensure the continuation of the games.
Commissioner Adam Silver had told reporters that they are still looking into the protocol of many players testing positive for the coronavirus disease.
He said that one positive player will not stop the games, but an outbreak could possibly suspend the season again.
Certainly, Chris Paul and the rest of the NBA players will not want that happening.
