One of the greatest point guards of all time, Chris Paul has been a nine-time inductee of the prestigious All-NBA team. He is also an 11-time All-Star and a nine-time All-NBA Defense team member. An All-NBA nod this year would add another distinguished feather to his cap.
Chris Paul recently turned 36 but has not shown any signs of slowing down. His ball-handling and playmaking are still top-notch and he has not lost a step defensively despite being on the wrong side of 30.
