Not Everyone Is Happy as Michael Jordan Brand’s Tribute to Chris Paul Raises Questions

“I play this game and fell in love with this game because of Michael Jordan. That’s just always gonna be that for me. I wouldn’t have the drive and the will without Michael Jordan.” Chris Paul once reflected that his love for basketball started with Michael Jordan. The North Carolina native was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 at a time when His Airness dominated the game. No doubt he would love MJ. Later, he signed with the Jordan brand and made history. But the recent reveal from the brand doesn’t have a 100% approval rate from the fans.

The Jordan Brand gifted the Spurs guard a bespoke “Point God” jacket during an event at the 2025 EYBL Session 3 in Kansas City. Images of the custom jacket show a “Point God” symbol on the exterior alongside details of his record-breaking achievements on the interior. On the back side it reads, “The Point God Giveth and The Point God Taketh Away.” There is more to the jacket.

The right sleeve lining lists every NBA team he’s played against and the number of steals he’s collected from each team. Plus, the left sleeve contains the names of all 174 teammates who received assists from CP3 during his career. Other features on the jacket include: “The Temple of Dimes,” a Greek Acropolis-style temple on the right sleeve, and Paul’s signature mantras, “Can’t Give Up Now” and “Keep Stacking Days,” at the front pocket.

This jacket from Michael Jordan solidifies Chris Paul’s impact, as this season he became the NBA’s #2 all-time leader in steals and assists. There are only a few athletes who have had 10+ sneaker releases with the same brand. Paul is only the second Jordan athlete, after Carmelo Anthony, to do so. After winning the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2006, Paul switched from Nike to Jordan Brand and never looked back. But fans are wondering if the latest honor is even worth it.

Fans question Chris Paul’s legacy after Michael Jordan brand tribute

Adding the storytelling factor is what the Jordan brand does best. Recently, they released ‘The Trial of Luka Doncic,’ where all the reported reasons for his bad behavior at the Dallas Mavericks were brought to light. The commercial made sure to highlight the Lakers’ superstars’ splendid plays while wearing the Jumpman. Keeping that in mind, a fan added,” That jacket’s fire.. some people just find any reason to hate.” While the others who love it simply left fire emojis in the comments. “🔥 jacket.

Well, not everybody was a fan. Some question Chris Paul’s legacy with no rings. In his 20th season, the 40-year-old passed Jason Kidd for second all-time in career assists and career steals. But remains firmly behind John Stockton in both categories. So, a netizen added, “Fire jacket but he’s not the point god lol.

The details in the jacket prove that there was a lot of thought behind the scenes. That’s why CP3 has never left the Jordan brand. “They’ve supported my vision, my growth, and they understand how to blend performance with purpose,” he said. But the storytelling and detailing, or probably the color of the jacket, put off a fan completely. “Oh this jacket is terrible man 😂.” The drive and zeal to play at the top still exist for the Spurs star.

After all, he started in all 82 games, making him the first player to do that in the year 20. So a fan thought the jacket honor was sending mixed signals for Paul’s retirement. “So he’s retiring?” As of now, there is no proof of that, but reports only indicate him moving away to another franchise this summer.
