Vegan influencer: Chris Paul (vegan) – Game-Changing Life of NBA All-Star

Chris Paul (vegan), a star point guard, nicknamed “CP3” and “The Point God”, is a legend in the National Basketball Association (NBA), the top U.S. men’s pro basketball league, and a leader in the growing trend of elite athletes going vegan. “I want to tell you guys about how eating heathier changed my life. I have not eaten any animal products, and since going plant-based, I feel better, I try to play better, and I recover faster.” In 2019, after years of battling aches, pains, and inflammation in his knees, Chris Paul switched to a fully vegan diet. “I think the biggest change for me is the aches and pains of the season.” Then, in 2022, when playing for the Phoenix Suns, Chris Paul had a playoff game that may never be forgotten. He ended the game with a perfect shooting percentage of 100% and scored 33 points. “Paul, dancing, driving, shooting, SCORING! Paul! 14 of 14, 5-point Suns lead!”

After watching the early screening of “The Game Changers,” he became an Executive Producer of the film. “Protein doesn’t just come from animals, it doesn’t just come from meat, so just finding out that information, I think it’s going to help out everyone.” Chris Paul’s late-career resurgence through vegan nutrition has inspired other NBA players to follow suit. “I feel like it’s the future.” “The vegan lifestyle is taking over the league.” In 2019, he became part of an extensive list of professional athletes who have invested in Beyond Meat. Then in 2021, Chris Paul decided to continue the tradition, and bought out all three Atlanta-based vegan restaurants to offer all customers a free vegan meal on June 19th. In the same year, Chris Paul invested in Koia, a leading producer of 100% vegan plant-based nutritional shakes. “Just give it a try. And, after a week, you let me know how you feel.”
