Hopefully we can expect we'll see a minute of silence before the next NBA games

Before Rockets guard Chris Paul could not bring himself to discuss basketball issues he described as relatively “minor” on Friday until he spoke of the victims and families impacted by the school shooting in Santa Fe and called for action to prevent such tragedies.

“First and foremost, aside from the playoffs going on which is minor compared to what is taking place down in Santa Fe,” Paul said. “Our prayers going out to the victims and the families having to deal with that situation. We have a lot of fan support there. Those people come out and support us night in, night out. This is minor compared to what those people are dealing with.”

As with many parents, Paul said he thought of his own school-aged children and other parents and cited the need to address the problem.

“It’s tough, man,” Paul said. “It’s scary that’s becoming a norm here. We got to do something about it. Yeah, I can’t imagine something like that taking place with my kids.”
