Chris Paul is in the NBA Finals. Let's repeat that with more emphasis: CHRIS PAUL IS IN THE NBA FINALS!

It's safe to assume that CP3's heart is screaming in all capitals letter as well after the Phoenix Suns eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. The Suns advanced to the Last Dance, where Paul is excited to get his jiggy on. Or whatever dance TikToking kids are up to these days.

After their Game 6 win, it looked like Paul was too elated, too caught in the moment, too bathed in joy, that he forgot he was on live television and said “s***t.” He did apologize immediately.

It was also clear that the crafty floor general wasn't too fixated on his postgame interview, as he was eager to celebrate with his teammates. Quite understandably so.

Paul, who arguably had the best performance of his colorful career with 41 points and eight assists, finally got the monkey off his back as he's on his way to his first NBA Finals. At 36 years old. He's had his fair share of disappointments, failed partnerships, and pure unluckiness. Now, he's a few wins away from earning his championship ring.

Yes, you can say “shit,” Chris Paul. We won't censor it. You can say anything you want. You get a pass.
