MP3 is leaving Mizzou

He and Tyler Stone are transferring from Missouri. Normally I could care less about Mizzou BB, but take a look at this article.

Missouri's Miguel Paul Apparently Fibbed About Being Related to Chris Paul

Miguel Paul is a short point guard for Missouri. He wears number three on his jersey. His last name is, obviously, Paul. His nickname is MP3. So when you see that his claim in the most recent Mizzou media booklet that he is the "first cousin of New Orleans Hornet Chris Paul", well, you don't blink twice.

But you probably should. Michael Kelly, a senior at Missouri traveled all the way to New Orleans to do a story about the two cousins and their success on the hardwood, and was met with a shocking little surprise.

As Matt Moore, Mizzou alum says, "the hits just keep on comin'!"

Miguel and Chris Paul's Relationship Status: It's Complicated

So did Miguel Paul really meet his NBA All-Star cousin during a post-game locker room celebration? It's depends on what you definition of "did" is.

After the Hornets' Chris Paul told the world that he had never heard of or met this alleged "Miguel" person, the Missouri freshman guard had to backtrack on his story a little bit. School officials clarified yesterday, saying that Miguel Paul's father met a man named James Paul, who is Chris Paul's uncle. The two talked and realized that they have a lot of common friends and even a few common relatives. Miguel and Chris are apparently not first cousins (even though it says that in Mizzou media guide), but they are distant relations and Miguel's family was invited to the Paul family reunion. So that's something! I'm sure Big 12 fans will keep that in mind and not ridicule him at all when the Tigers visit this season.
