Future Hall of Famer Chris Paul retired midseason after twenty-one seasons on the hardwood. Paul, considered one of the greatest point guards of all time, spent his last full season with the San Antonio Spurs. The pairing of CP3 with Victor Wembanyama was regarded as great mentorship.
One moment in particular always stuck out to me:
A more overt example of Paul giving Wemby “hands on” experience.
Paul made an appearance on the
Pat McAfee Show and spoke about his time with San Antonio.
It’s clear from his tone that he embraced his time with the Spurs and has esteen for the franchise.
After returning to Los Angeles, Paul was benched and subsequently traded by the Clippers last February. It came to light that he and Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue did not see eye to eye and CP3 aired his grievances publicly. Not the ending befitting a player of his caliber. Especially by the organization to which he gave some of his greatest years.
Paul has since joined the coaching staff at Campbell Hall High School in California, where his son plays. While he has shown little interest in coaching for the NBA, he has mentored many players. He’d be an asset to the Spurs as they navigate the next phases of development.
Who knows, CP3 may still have a window open to pick up an NBA ring.
