Just minutes after the Clippers were bounced from the playoffs, Chris Paul threw some salt in their wounds.
The former Clippers point guard, who went through an ugly divorce from the franchise earlier this season, raced to his Instagram page following the Warriors’ 126–121 win over LA at Intuit Dome and trolled his former team over its early postseason exit Wednesday night.

Paul, who goes by the nickname “CP3,” shared part of a popular meme that’s been used by internet users to celebrate someone’s demise.
The image features a man in a black tie and dark sunglasses looking stern while at a wake. The caption on the picture normally reads, “I Stopped By One Of My Biggest Haters Funeral Today Just To Make Sure That N—a Was Dead.”
Paul shared a popular meme following the Clippers’ loss to the Warriors Wednesday night.
Paul’s image cut out the text, though the meme has become so famous, it wasn’t needed.
Plenty of fans noticed Paul’s shade right away, with one writing on X, “CP3 got the last laugh in his retirement year.”
Paul became a Clippers legend thanks to his time in the City of Angels from 2011–2017, but his second stint with the team, which began in July 2025, ended unceremoniously, to say the least.
Paul played in just 16 games before he was abruptly sent home during a road trip in early December after he reportedly clashed with head coach Ty Lue.
Paul was eventually traded to the Raptors, though he was waived just days later. He ended up retiring before playing another minute on an NBA hardwood.
