Besides, if Jak II pulled it off, why can't the Sly series? It not that paradoxes are inherently impossible, just that they stare in the fact of all the is logical and more informally, rational and say "damn you, I'll do it anyway".

The zeno's paradoxes is one such thing. As well as the paradox of ice (Ice being slippery, while seemly sane, is absolutely bonkers when you learn it has more friction then sandpaper). There's also the boltzmann's brain paradox... But that putting to much thought into something that as Vitruvian above me stated, "About an athropomorphic raccoon".

That stated, what did Jak pulled off?

Also, couldn't it just be that Sly was named after Slytunkhamen. Or maybe Sly just bestow that name on the king after something?

I don't think though that Sly should be his own grandfather. It an already common enough trope, with at least one movie based on the idea.("Predestination" and the source material "All You Zombies" take it to the furthest extreme possible.)
