Michele Roberts not only doesn't see Chris Paul as sexist, she's clearly not happy that others might.

A day after the Los Angeles Clippers point guard came under fire for critical comments made about first-year official Lauren Holtkamp, Roberts — the National Basketball Players Association executive director who partners with Paul because of his role as union president — came out strong in her support of him.

"Any suggestion that Chris Paul would ever conduct himself in a disrespectful manner towards women is utterly ridiculous, outrageous and patently false," Roberts, who was elected to her position in late July, said in a statement. "His personal management team, which includes several accomplished women who play a major role in virtually all of his business affairs is, alone, evidence of that fact.
