Atlanta Hawks spitfire Trae Young and Phoenix Suns veteran Chris Paul may have been born years apart, but they definitely have similarities.
Obviously, both are the focal playmakers for their respective teams, but both have also shined in the NBA despite their diminutive frame. The Hawks and the Suns have been pretty successful because of their leadership. They're also quite popular among fans, making Young and Paul cool endorsers for various brands.
Recently, the two PGs starred in a commercial for State Farm, with Young being the latest athlete to join Paul. The Hawks guard admitted on Twitter that he doesn't have problems at all when it comes to getting buckets, but doing the commercial was the exact opposite.
Getting buckets? Easy. These photo shoots?… Different story. #ad @StateFarm @CP3 pic.twitter.com/26UlVDeMb3

It's a good joke from Young, who's not exactly the most jovial of NBA stars. He's always in a competitive mood, but for this one, he gave the W to Paul. After all, the Suns guard has been doing it for State Farm for years now. It's worth noting he's also produced several movies now, so he certainly knows his way around the showbiz industry.
As for their performance on the floor, Paul is also doing better than Young, as the Suns have the best record in the Western Conference with a 31-9 card. The Hawks, on the other hand, are struggling with a 17-22 slate, 12th in the Eastern Conference.
