Chris Paul Joins NBA Royalty in Suns Commanding Game 1 Win Over Bucks

Chris Paul made NBA history in his NBA Finals debut on Tuesday as he launched the Suns to its Game 1 victory over the Bucks despite Giannis Antetokounmpo's return from injury.

The point guard joined Tim Duncan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the third player 36-years-old or older to score 30+ points, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Abdul-Jabbar did so six times while Duncan only once.

CP3, also known as The Point God, is also the first player to tally 30 points and eight assists in a Finals debut since Michael Jordan in 1991.
