Chris Paul’s career
Paul, who will turn 41 in May, is undoubtedly a future Hall of Famer. Although he never won a championship, CP3 is a 12-time NBA All-Star and was selected to four All-NBA first teams.
Paul was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets (now the New Orleans Pelicans) and spent the first part of his career with the team. He would later be traded to the Clippers. The Lob City Clippers are remembered as one of the best teams to never win a championship. Still, Paul developed impressive chemistry with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan en route to memorable alley-oops.
He has since played for the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs. This past offseason, Chris Paul has agreed to return to the Clippers and spend another season in LA. Many fans wondered if the 2025-26 campaign would be Paul’s last in the league. Of course, this season will indeed be Paul’s final run in the NBA.
