Chris Paul
He was the 2006 Rookie of the Year; He was the 2013 NBA All-Star game MVP
Paul's journey to NBA stardom began in high school, where he was a McDonald's All-American, and continued at Wake Forest University, where he played two seasons of college basketball. During his time at Wake Forest, Paul helped the Demon Deacons achieve their first-ever number-one ranking, cementing his status as one of the top prospects in the country. In the 2005 NBA Draft, Paul was selected fourth overall by the New Orleans Hornets, where he quickly developed into one of the league's premier point guards. His standout 2008 season saw him finish second in NBA MVP voting, a testament to his growing influence on the game.
In 2011, Paul was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, where he became the centerpiece of the "Lob City" era, known for its high-flying offense and fast-paced play. His leadership and playmaking helped transform the Clippers into perennial playoff contenders. After six seasons in Los Angeles, Paul was traded to the Houston Rockets in 2017, where he played a pivotal role in leading the team to a franchise-record 65 wins in his first season. Following a brief stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Paul joined the Phoenix Suns in 2020, where he reached the NBA Finals for the first time in his career in 2021 and helped the team achieve a franchise-record 64 wins the following season.
Paul's career has been marked by his ability to elevate every team he has played for, and his influence extends beyond the court. From 2013 to 2021, he served as the president of the National Basketball Players Association, advocating for players' rights and helping shape the future of the league. In 2024, Paul signed with the San Antonio Spurs, continuing his storied career. Off the court, Paul is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, with endorsement deals from major brands like Jordan Brand and State Farm. His impact on the game and his leadership both on and off the court have made him a true icon in the world of basketball.
