On November 1st, 2005, Chris Paul, a point guard from Wake Forest University, who is now a legend in the books, debuted for the New Orleans Hornets. On the inside, Paul may have had the confidence that he could one day walk away from the game as an icon, but on day one, no one had these types of expectations for a six-foot, fourth overall pick.
However, Paul's size, which has been below average, did not hold him back from success. He could finish through contact, sauce defenses with a classic, mid-range fadeaway, and dish out passes that only the greats could execute.
