The *“Chris Paul cuts the lead”* meme comes from NBA broadcasts frequently announcing when Chris Paul reduces a large deficit to a slightly smaller one, often without changing the game’s outcome. Fans noticed a pattern where CP3’s teams would trail by double digits, and after a few clutch plays, the commentator would dramatically say, *“Chris Paul cuts the lead to eight!”* This became a running joke, implying CP3 excels at narrowing deficits but struggles to complete comebacks. NBA Twitter and Reddit often use the phrase sarcastically, pairing it with images of Paul looking determined in ultimately futile situations.
