NBA All-Star 2020 live: Chris Paul dunk was possible due to his vegan diet
I spent 5 minutes talking to Chris Paul about the benefits of his plant-based diet the other day. He gave you an example on that dunk. He couldn't get up like that a couple years ago. He said he hasn't had to ice his knees all season.

I really didn't know Chris Paul could still dunk. His last one in a game was in 2015-16, per @bball_ref. And he threw it down with two hands easy!
