State Farm needed to re-write its script after Chris Paul was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers to the Houston Rockets this past June. Paul, who has been a State Farm spokesman since 2012, now welcomes Rockets teammates James Harden and Trevor Ariza to the campaign. He also meets his new State Farm agent, Cole Perez (played by actor Oscar Nuñez), and finds that they both like bowling, barbecue and chili fries.
