The Chris Paul era has officially come to the end after three seasons with the Phoenix Suns, and you can make the case he was a top five player for the organization this century. A first NBA Finals appearance since 1993, two All-Star selections in that three year span and 194 regular season games played, even if Paul was sometimes injured when it mattered most, as we had seen before.
Paul also gave his all to the franchise from years 35 to 38, never asking for more help or to be traded, which may sound ridiculous in hindsight but in today’s league is less common than you would think.
