Monday saw Chris Paul give a touching speech about his rise to stardom before introducing Barack Obama, who subsequently announced an additional $100 million in funding for his initiative "My Brother's Keeper," a program that came about following last year's acquittal of George Zimmerman and aims to reduce the dropout rates among minority youth.
Paul clearly holds no ill feelings towards Obama for crossing him over at the president's 49th birthday party.
