"As I write this, it's hard to really know what to feel, but for once - most people would be surprised - I don't have the answer lol! But, mostly I'm filled with so much joy and gratitude! While this chapter of being an 'NBA player' is done, the game of basketball will forever be engrained in the DNA of my life."
"This is it! After over 21 years I'm stepping away from basketball,"
Chris Paul announced his retirement after being waived by the Toronto Raptors, ending a 21-year NBA career. The 12-time All-Star finished second in NBA history in assists (12,552) and steals (2,728) and became the first player to record 20,000 points and 10,000 assists. He was selected fourth overall by the New Orleans Hornets in 2005 and earned NBA Rookie of the Year honors. Paul led the Clippers' 'Lob City' era with Blake Griffin from 2011 to 2017, producing six winning seasons, two Pacific Division titles and three playoff series victories. He played for multiple franchises and returned to the Clippers on a $3.6 million deal before being dismissed and later traded to Toronto.
