quickly turned into a brawl that cost 3 key players to be suspended&period; But the real gag is Rajon is addressing it for the first time and suggesting Chris Paul isn’t the guy that the media portrays him to be&comma; saying &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Everyone wants to believe Chris Paul is a good guy&period; They don&&num;8217&semi;t know how he treats people&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>If you missed the tea&comma; &num;BrandonIngram&comma; &num;RajonRondo and &num;ChrisPaul all got suspensions based on their involvement in the brawl that went down during their game&period; It started with Brandon Ingram pushing James Harden and then spilled over to Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul throwing hands&period; But there’s a plot twist&comma; Rajon has a completely different side of what transpired&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>After reviewing the footage&comma; it shows what looks to be Rajon spitting at Chris Paul before hands were thrown&comma;
