Local media in the U.S. announced on the 23rd (Korea time) that Chris Paul, one of the best point guards of all time, has announced his retirement after this season.
Chris Paul was selected by the New Orleans Hornets with the fourth pick in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft.
He played until 2011, becoming the best point guard in the league. He was the best guard in the nation in high school, and was named the McDonald All-American and North Carolina State's best player.
He went to Wake Forest University and was evaluated as the best point in college for two years. He led the U.S. to the championship in the U.S. at the U.S.-based FIBA American Championships, and eventually made it to the NBA in 2005.
He won the Rookie of the Year award in his first year of his debut and moved to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2011. Working with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, he produced numerous highlight films.
Although he was considered the league's best point guard, he did not win in the playoffs. Eventually, he moved to the Houston Rockets in 2016. Working with James Harden, he led Houston to one of the strongest teams in the West, but fell to Golden State on the threshold of winning. Since then, he has moved to Oklahoma City, Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Clippers, and eventually announced his retirement at the end of this season.
He won four NBA first teams, five second teams, and two third teams, and seven all-defensive first teams. He won the assist title five times, and Steel also rose to the top position six times. He played a leading role in the gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics.
As well as reading and passing, it also has the ability to score with its signature mid-range game. In addition, it is very strong in the clutch. He was the best field commander of the time with top-notch dribbling ability, assist and steal ability at the same time.
CBS Sports in the U.S. praised Chris Paul for his clutch ability. During the 2016-2017 season, Houston ranked 18th in the league in clutch networking, but ranked first in the season after recruiting Paul. It was a whopping 27.1 points plus in 100 attacks.
In the 2018-2019 season, the Oklahoma City Thunder ranked 11th in clutch networking and first in the 2019-2020 season after recruiting Paul, it reported.
However, Paul had no connection to the championship ring. He was the king of no officers.
