Chris Paul has done about everything there is to do in the NBA. He’s a 12-time All-Star, All-Star Game MVP, 4-time All-NBA First Team member, 7-time NBA All-Defensive First Team, 5-time assist leader, 6-time steals leader, and a member of the NBA 76th Anniversary Team. There’s only one thing that Paul hasn’t done, and that’s win an NBA Championship.
Paul did an interview with Lindsay Czarniak on an episode of “Lunch with Lindsay”, where he discussed what he has left to accomplish in his career.
“Obviously it’s that elusive championship,” Paul said about his final goal. “So going to a team with guys who have that pedigree. They’ve shown the ability to do it over and over again, with a coaching staff, with a primetime organization. As long as I’ve been playing I still love learning, so I’m excited about going into this team, this organization and seeing how I can be a piece or just be part of the puzzle to help our team win.”
For the past three seasons, Chris Paul has been in a prime opportunity to win an NBA Championship but just couldn’t capture it. It’s tough to say whether this Warriors team has better odds than the Phoenix Suns teams he’s been on, but they will definitely be a contender. For over a decade, Chris Paul has been blessed enough to be on numerous championship-contending teams, will this be the year where he finally capitalizes on it?
