As a kid, Chris Jr. often joined his father during press conferences. In a 2012 clipfrom the NBA, Chris asked his son, who is sitting on his lap, to imitate his Los Angeles Clippers teammateBlake Griffinwith “The Blake Face.” The then-2-year-old Chris Jr. happily emulated Griffin’s intense midgame expression.

Ever the athlete, Chris Jr. also likes soccer. “The thing that you learn as a parent is that you’re going to love whatever makes your kids happy,” the Phoenix Suns player toldThePostGamein 2018. That support included “getting up early in the morning” to watch the World Cup with his son: “I’ve actually grown to love it a lot more and learned everything about it.”

Chris and Jada’s daughter Camryn Alexis Paul was born on Aug. 16, 2012.

In 2020, when the Paul family was social distancing, Chris told PEOPLE that Camryn would get “really antsy” during activities like Zoom calls. Both parents helped her adjust to virtual school and the extended time at home: Chris set up workout circuits for her, while Jada would “have her go outside and run a lap” to burn off some energy.

Two years earlier, Camryn celebrated her 8th birthday with a movie night sleepover with friends — including Zhuri Nova, daughter ofLeBron James. Jadashared photosfrom the party, writing that her daughter was “beautiful, creative, artistic” and the “most sweetest little lady.”

In February 2022, Camryn joined her father at the 71st NBA All-Star Game, whereVanessa Bryantpresented Chris with the inaugural Kobe and Gigi Bryant Advocacy Award for hissupport of women’s basketballand the WNBA. Camryn stood next to her father on the court as he accepted the award, andChris later wrotethat he was particularly proud because his daughter had “recently started hooping” herself.

The following month, Chris told PEOPLE about Camryn’s pursuit of the game. “During the playoffs last year, she called me … and she was trying to teach herself to dribble between her legs,” he said. “And she’s so persistent — I was sort of sitting there coaching her, telling her what to do. Three hours later, she sent me a video, and she could do it!”
