BIOGRAPHY

Chris Paul currently plays for the Phoenix Suns. 

Born on May 06, 1985 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, he is listed at 6' 0" and weighs 175 lbs. 

After a stellar high school career, Paul committed to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. During his time in college, he established himself as one of the elite prospects in the then upcoming NBA Draft class.

Given his talent and incredible upside, the New Orleans Pelicans selected Chris Paul with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft.

Nicknamed CP3, Paul was a member of the famed Lob City version of the Clippers, is arguably the best point guard of his generation, and has certainly inspired future guards to mimic aspects of his game. Time will, historically, be kind to him when he decides to call it a career.

Off the court, Paul is often tasked with overseeing the NBAPA, representing his colleagues in the process.

During his NBA career, he also played 6 seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, 6 seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers, 2 seasons with the Houston Rockets and 1 season with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He’s been a top-tier point guard for every franchise fortunate enough to employee his services.

He joined the Phoenix Suns in 2020.
