Crescent City’s Champion

On Thursday, the New Orleans Hornets retained Chris Paul. Paul signed a 3-year, $68 million contract. During his career, Paul has registered 18.2 points and 9.5 assists per contest. In 2007-2008, he tallied 21.1 points and 11.6 assists per contests.

Icons cannot rebuild a city. They can restore them. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans. Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Tyson Chandler, and Paul have not refurbished homes. They have reinstated hope.
