Before basketball, Paul spent a lot of his time competing in Spelling Bees. One particular contest actually resulted in the first and only punch Paul has ever thrown.

When You Care Enough (to Punch Someone in the Face)

Paul Shirley traveled the world chasing a basketball career that landed him on 17 different teams. He played in Spain, Greece, Russia, and the NBA.  But Paul isn't just a basketball player; he's also a kid, from a small town in Kansas, who's searching for love just like all the rest of us. In Stories I Tell On Dates, Paul shares the stories he tells his dates: about being vulnerable at middle school dances, being embarrassed in  Sex Ed class, being mocked by national media, and about having his heart (and spleen) broken.
