Chris Paul, former Clippers star, announces retirement after being waived by Raptors

Chris Paul is stepping away from the NBA for good after more than two decades in the league.

The 12-time All Star who played a key role in the Clippers‘ “Lob City” era made the announcement Friday soon after being waived by the Toronto Raptors.

“This is it! After over 21 years I’m stepping away from basketball,” Paul wrote in a lengthy statement posted to his Instagram account.

“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!
