Said Paul: "Before I got to know him he was no friend of mine. It is what it is. But that's how it was in college."
The boiling point between Paul and Redick came in the summer of 2004 when both were counselors at the Jordan Brand Camp in Santa Barbara, Calif. During a scrimmage between the two, Redick become so irritated that he struck Paul.
"I actually had to apologize to him," Redick said. "…I put my hands on him during a game. It was a hand to the face type of move. I don't know how to describe it.
"We were in the dorm at UC Santa Barbara, and I was told I had to apologize to him. I knew he didn't like me then, but he did [accept the apology]."
Redick also knows why he and Paul didn't get along.
"We didn't like each other," he said, "because we were both so damn competitive."
