I don't think it is a paradox when you look at it from a "better" perspective. Just plot a graph displaying the frequency people have x friends. Chances are, there are some outliers with enormous amounts of friends who thus push the average. I think it is not as much a paradox but rather a good demonstration of how the average can be an inappropriate measure to describe some samples.
