Mookie Betts is apparently helping Chris Paul prepare for his next NBA home.
The Dodgers superstar was featured in a video posted on Instagram on Tuesday doing some work on the hardwood with Paul in the Clippers’ practice facility in Los Angeles.
The two, who have been close friends for years, appeared to play a bit of one-on-one play before getting in some three-point shots.
Both looked good in the edited clip; there was no miss from the duo at any point in the footage.
Of course, Betts’ athleticism shouldn’t surprise many. He has excelled at everything he has tried off the diamond, including bowling, golf and guitar.
As for Paul, he’s clearly staying sharp as he waits for his next basketball destination.
The 40-year-old has been looking for a new team since being shockingly sent home by the Clippers on December 3.
At the time of the split, he was team president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank told ESPN the Clippers would unceremoniously “work with him on the next step of his career” despite the divorce, although there didn’t appear to be much movement on plans for his future in recent days.
Paul signed a one-year, $3.6 million deal with LA earlier this year, and announced in November that this season would be his last.
He played in 16 games for the Clippers prior to the breakup and averaged 2.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
