From scoring 61 points in honor of his late grandfather as a high school phenom to becoming one of the greatest point guards the NBA has ever seen, Chris Paul built a résumé few players in league history can match.On this edition of Second Chance Points, Gavriel Wilkins and Torrence Stagger reflect on the remarkable 21-year career of the 12-time NBA All-Star, examining his rise at Wake Forest, his Rookie of the Year campaign with the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets during the 2005-06 season. Including his spectacular 2007-2008 campaign & more, alongside the rise and fall of Lob City, his near championship run beside James Harden in Houston, Oklahoma City all the way down to his resurgence with the Phoenix Suns and much more.As the duo also discusses Paul's influence as president of the National Basketball Players Association, the criticism surrounding his competitive style of play, where he ultimately ranks among the greatest point guards in league history, and whether fans will remember him as the greatest player of his generation to never win an NBA championship.Whether you remember the incredible playmaker who once orchestrated offenses with surgical precision or simply knew him as The Point God, join us as we celebrate one of basketball's most accomplished floor generals ahead of his inevitable induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.Follow The New Twenty Four across social media on IG and Twitter/X (@TNTF_).
