Why did Chris Paul leave New Orleans Hornets?

            Who is Chris Paul? A lot of students would ask this question. He is the best Point Guard is NBA (National Basketball Association), that also means he is the best Point Guard in the world. But now, unfortunately, Paul left Hornets last year and now he is in Los Angeles Clippers.
            Why did Chris Paul leave New Orleans Hornets? This is a huge question. People have many different reasons.
            Firstly, Chris Paul doesn’t think that he will win Champion in New Orleans Hornets because he didn’t get enough support from his team. Chris Paul played six seasons for Hornets, but he never played west champion games. Although he is a very good player in Hornets, basketball is a team game. He couldn’t win champion by himself. For a basketball player, the highest achievement is to be the MVP at the final champion games. LeBron James couldn’t get enough support from Cleveland Cavaliers, so he went to Miami Heats to win the champions. Chris Paul did the same way to get the highest awards.
            Secondly, New Orleans Hornets don’t have a lot of fans. People went to the Saints game instead of Hornets game. Hornets couldn’t get enough support. So, the owner decided to sell Hornets and finally NBA bought Hornets. I went to Hornets game, Chicago Bulls game, Houston Rockets game, and New York Knicks game a few times, Hornets has the worst basketball court and fans. Every time, I went to the Hornets game, there were nearly half empty seats. Players couldn’t get enough support from their fans; this is a very important reason to affect a game.    
            Thirdly, the mangers of Hornets didn’t do well either. It’s important to have a good coach and it’s smart to find a coach for a team. The managers of Chicago Bulls are smart and they chose Tom Thibodeau to be the coach and now Chicago is one of the best team in NBA. In the past six seasons, the managers of Hornets didn’t find a good coach and good players to help Chris Paul. If they support Chris Paul enough, the Hornets will win more games, so they would have more fans and the owner would spend money to support Hornets.             Finally, the managers of Hornets knew that Chris Paul would not continue the lease with Hornets next year. It’s better to use Chris Paul to switch some good players, young players and get two first round drafts pick and one second round pick. So they can rebuild New Orleans Hornets. Although the managers would not happy to do that, they have no choice and this is the only way to get profit. All of us know that NBA is a big business, so it’s hard to say.
