Chris Paul switches to speedwalking in new State Farm commercial
Oct 19, 2022, 3:15 PM
Chris Paul is open to change.
Whether that’s his current insurance plan or his job description, he’s game for it. The Phoenix Suns point guard says so in a newly released State Farm Insurance commercial played repeatedly during TNT’s opening night of NBA action on Tuesday.
“What if I want to change my plan?” Paul asks Jake from State Farm.
“State Farm’s here to help,” Jake replies.
“What if I want to change sports?” Paul counters.
It’s here where Paul is shown with a competitive frown in a professional speedwalking event as an opponent tries to track him down. Paul takes the victory in the commercial.
