Is Chris Paul a Cowboys fan?

What has Chris Paul said about the Dallas Cowboys?

Chris Paul put it on the Clippers' own site in August 2013, in a piece published on nba.com's LA Clippers pages. He wrote, "I've been a die-hard Cowboys fan since I was a small child." The line is his own, and it is the clearest statement of the fandom: a stated favorite, dating to childhood.

Did Chris Paul grow up a Cowboys fan?

By his own account, yes. In an August 2013 piece on the Clippers' site at nba.com, he said he had been a Cowboys fan "since I was a small child", which puts the start of it in early childhood. Chris Paul was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on May 6, 1985, and grew up in Lewisville with his older brother. He went to West Forsyth in Clemmons, North Carolina, and later to Wake Forest. None of those places is in Dallas, so the Cowboys were not his local team, and nothing in the record explains where the attachment came from.

The Cowboys won three Super Bowls while he was a kid. They took Super Bowl XXVII in 1993, the year he turned 8, Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994, the year he turned 9, and Super Bowl XXX in 1996, the year he turned 11.

What else backs up Chris Paul's Cowboys fandom?

Several outlets described the fandom in the years that followed. NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth wrote on August 2, 2013, "Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan." Fox Sports used nearly the same wording on September 13, 2015: "Paul is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan." The Dallas Morning News reported on November 22, 2016, that "he posted a picture to Twitter of himself in a brand new Ezekiel Elliott jersey."

Nothing contradicts any of this. No source disputes the fandom, and nothing indicates it has ended.
