Chris Paul so far this season for the Warriors
Entering his 19th year in the NBA, Chris Paul has all the accolades but never had he won a championship ring. Joining the Warriors pushes his chances to finally commit to his dream and is willing to commit to whatever role he is given.
In the first six games of the season, the 12-time NBA All-Star has averaged 8.0 points, 9.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals while committing 1.0 turnovers per game.
His best game was arguably against the Sacramento Kings on Oct. 27 where he tallied 10 points, 12 assists, three steals and two rebounds.
The Golden State Warriors are now on a five-game winning streak as they enter a three-game road trip to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets.
