Chris Paul is one of the smartest basketball players the game has ever seen.

He is known for his elite play-making ability and high basketball IQ.

Recently, Paul stopped by Alabama to speak to the school's football and basketball programs.

Following the trip, the future Hall of Famer made a post to Instagram.

Paul captioned his post: "Appreciate the warm welcome,@alabamafbl! Had a great time talking to the football and basketball teams about my journey and what I’ve learned - falling in love with the process, meeting people where they are, family, responsibilities, and just the LOVE for the game!! Team sports teaches us to all play our part in making sure we achieve our collective goal, no matter what our personal journeys are!!"
